Achievements : Gajillions Unlocked.

By Geoffrey Tim
April 7, 2009
in :  Gaming
8

Achievements, and by extension, trophies are a strange thing indeed. Completely worthless, the digital badges of honour make us battle through the tedious bits of games. What’s the point of them then? Absolutely nothing, but we love them anyway. We like them so much in fact that we, gamers, have unlocked a total of 2 and a half billion of …

Sony takes back Japan

5

It appears that Sony has had enough of Microsoft trying to annex Japan and the Americanised Nintendo ruling in the land of the rising sun. With a glint in it’s eye and a smile on it’s face, Sony has been marketing itself silly in Japan and it appears that it is really paying off. For the second month running now …

Seriously Odd Korean Xbox 360 Advert

2

Sony usually wear the crown when it comes to strange adverts for consoles, but this incredibly odd advertisement for the Xbox 360 from Korea proves that Microsoft is just as capable at creating some strange adverts of their own. At least it has subtitles, so you can actually understand what the woman in the advert is saying, but if by …

Sony have been going on all week about some amazing announcement that they were going to release, and for the first time ever, it didn’t lead up to some boring press release that no one actually cares about. It seems like they were telling tall tales when they said that there would be no price cut, which we posted up …

Another Reason Videogames are Bad for Children

By Geoffrey Tim

Mike Tomich is a man with an agenda; He wants to pry videogame controllers out of the hands of innocent children. Why? Because they’ll inevitably become trained sociopathic killers without ethics and a skewed sense of right and wrong? Because they’ll be destined to a sedentary life of McDonald’s and Mountain dew? No, Mr Tomich has through 5 and a …

Yesterday was Microsoft’s Developer Days ‘09 event and I was fortunate enough to attend. This kind of event is there for developers to see what new technologies Microsoft has on the development front… or as one of my work colleagues said “DevDays: Drinking on company time”.

Could Kodu actually work?

By Gavin Mannion
March 27, 2009
in :  Gaming
1

I have seen a lot said about Kodu over the past few months and I have to admit to say that I have had little faith in it would be a severe understatement. I have attempted to use many graphically powered programming languages in my life so far and without fail every single one of them has been a complete …
