So the Xbox 360 price cuts are just starting to take effect and I am expecting big announcements from Sony (Home) and Nintendo (something.. there has to be something) just around the corner. The silly season is racing up on us, anyone else spotted Christmas decorations yet? So lets take a look at where we stand right now. The Wii …

Did you know the PlayStation 3 has only just been released in Malaysia? and we complain about us being treated badly… Oh and it looks like Nintendo thought that Sony needed some help with the launch and very kindly leant them the soundtrack from The Legend of Zelda. Now that’s just embarrassing and you can bet the events company is …

So with the mass markets eyes slowly shifting towards Christmas the next big question obviously becomes “which console is going to take this season?” The Yahoo PlayBack slot has tackled this question this week and it is little suprise that once again the Nintendo Wii is the pre-season favourite. However what is suprising is how badly Yahoo thinks of the …

WiNG over at Screwattack has written an open letter to Nintendo explaining why he has given up on the Wii and moved his love over to the Xbox 360. Now I personally feel the Wii is starting to get a bad rep for no good reason but it had to suffer the consequences of being successful sometime along the line. …

Disaster: Day of Crisis – First Look – Nintendo Wii

Now here is quite a hot looking Wii title. While the graphics look pretty impressive for the Wii, it actually looks like the gameplay is going to be a lot of fun and make really good use of the Wii's motion controller without overdoing it with some quirky gimmicky control scheme. This video is actually a compilation of a few videos put together, so get ready for some Japanese dude to say "Dee-Zah-Stah" a couple of times in a row. This might just be the type of Wii title that hardcore gamers have been waiting for. The game hits Japan at the end of this month and no date has even been given for North America yet, much less Europe and South Africa. I hope the reviews look good because this looks like something that I might just want to throw some money at.

Xbox 360 sales up 100% after price drop

Bloomberg reports that since Microsoft introduced the price drop to its Xbox 360 console range, sales have doubled compared to that of last weekend. Not only for the Arcade console which now retails at $199.00, but for the Pro and Elite consoles as well. When we previously speculated that the price drop would boost sales, many stated that the price point is not important enough to make a significant difference to consumers purchasing decision. Well the numbers are clearly stating the opposite, with the sales boost being more than significant and also putting a Microsoft console at a lower price point that the Nintendo Wii for the first time. Is the PS3 in trouble? While the Nintendo Wii is still the definite leader in the console wars and ahead by miles, the fight for second place as the best selling HD console still continues between the PS3 and the Xbox 360. If the boost brought about by the price drop continues into the Christmas season, Microsoft can look forward to a whole lot of sales. At the same time the PS3 has been outselling the Xbox 360 for a couple of months now and its lineup is looking incredibly appealing to say the least, not to mention all the families who may be interested in a new Blu-Ray player for the house. The upcoming season is going to be a real fight to the death as the two console manufacturers go head to head for market supremacy.

Orgasms in games going too far?

Let me start off by saying that I fully support adult games, there should be a rating ‘R’ for games that include explicit sex and I am in no way offended by nudity… especially female nudity.. However that being said I do wonder if the latest Wii game, Captain Rainbow, is just taking things a little too far in regards …
