Grand Theft Auto 4: 100hrs To Complete
Interesting blurb, it looks like if you decide to all aspects of GTA 4, you are looking at around 100 hrs of gameplay… the trick is that “side missions” and “main missions” are going to be harder to tell apart… so you might just end up playing most of the game without realizing it. I almost [...]
Continue reading...Gears of War 2: November
Wednesday, February 20, 2008
Well it looks like Chris Hunkele was right, Gears of War 2 is coming and the seed came out of GDC as expected. It’s looking like a November release, Xbox 360 exclusive, will graphically push the Xbox fairly hard, and as a result, we will all have RRoDs to deal with right after launch. Ohhhhhh BURN Update [...]

Wednesday, February 20, 2008
Brad Agdern sent in news that Activision has offered a complete $132 refund for Guitar Hero III for the Wii or a remastered replacement disk for folks that were put out by the audio on the Guitar Hero III not being Dolby Surround even though it was advertised as such. A pretty nice move considering the [...]

Monday, February 18, 2008
Hrrm… job posting from Gamasutra suggests that Amazon is working on downloadable game service to compete with Valve’s Steam, EA’s service and isn’t there another already? Direct to Drive or something? I have no idea why Console are so popular.. people LOVE 9 competing choices for the same service… it’s SUPER AWESOME *tugs on hair*

Monday, February 18, 2008
Whilst trolling the interwebs for new games coming out of the 2008 Game Developers Conference, I happened to notice Epic and Microsoft getting cozy together on the floorspace. And after doing some looking, it looks like Amazon has a product page for “Gears of War 2″… I wonder if they know something? If It’s true i [...]

Sunday, February 17, 2008
Hot damn, just caught this Alone in the Dark 5 tech demo video from Kotaku and it’s looking hot… for the Resident Evil, Condemned and Riddick fans out there, I think this will whet your whistle.

Friday, February 15, 2008
In a correction to yesterday’s story about NVIDIA integrating the PhysX engine work from the AGEIA purchase, Laurence Hartje sends in news that it looks like the physics engine is being ported to CUDA, NVIDIA’s software platform for executing generic code on a GPU. So it’s possible when the time is right, that this upgrade will [...]

Thursday, February 14, 2008
Grant Gochnauer sends along some pretty cool gaming news, Shack reports that NVIDIA confirmed they will be integrated the PhysX physics engine technology from the AGEIA purchase onto their graphics cards. The one thing I’m curious about is… how? These things weren’t small to start off with, looking like smallish video cards as it was: and they [...]
Continue reading...Mass Effect Coming to PC (OMGZ!)
Tuesday, February 12, 2008
(Take the time to read the conversation tree in the screenshot) Well in a move that everyone saw coming, BioWare announced that Mass Effect will be coming to the PC this May. Oh, and after paying $775 million, you better believe Mass Effect will be coming to PS3 as well by Christmas.

Wednesday, January 30, 2008
Suh-weet. For the folks out there <cough>me</cough> that had a NEO GEO and fell in love with the arcade stick that it had, you can rejoice in knowing it will be coming to the Wii shortly. I’m not sure there are fighters on the Wii and VC that are so badass that the NEO GEO stick is [...]

Monday, December 17, 2007
Johnny Lee is at it again. We blogged about his first invention (using the IR-sensing capabilities of the Bluetooth Nintendo Wii controller), which was a Minority Report-esque multi-touch display that you could manipulate with your fingers. Now it looks like he’s refined his ideas a bit further. Modifying a typical Bic Pen to include a power [...]

Monday, November 12, 2007
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0awjPUkBXOU Johnny Lee is hardcore. Using the LED-detecting ability of the Wiimote, combined with some reflective tape on his fingertips along with a LED panel, he was able to create an interactive field that he can manipulate with his two fingers. It’s simple, but really damn smart and could lead to some interesting commercialized applications (e.g. [...]
