Minority Report-esque Control with Nintendo Wii
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. [...]

Friday, October 5, 2007
Rockstar is using the above, custom-styled Wii to try and entice folks to enter their Radio Rebellion Sweepstakes. A limited time offering that includes the above Wii along with a 50″ Plasma for the winner. The official Radio Rebellion page is here, but it looks like you signup at the previous link page after making your [...]

Monday, October 1, 2007
Looks like Prince, long-time manufacturer of real tennis racquets has gotten in the Wii accessory game. These new Wii racquets will go on sale come November and be around $15. Not too shabby for a plastic frame.

Monday, August 20, 2007
Putting on flame-retardant suit… I just saw this “Review” (more like blog-comment, than a review) over on what can only seem to be a Sony/PS3 propaganda site. When you compare that sites 5/10 with the retardedly high rating the game is getting from everyone else, it’s hard to think the original poster had anything good [...]

Monday, August 6, 2007
Alright, now that E3 is over and the August-November onslaught of games is going to start any minute now, I need to start cataloging the games that you need to keep your eyes peeled for and why. These are not in a particular order: Burnout Paradise: Take the awesomeness that is burnout and amazing crashes, then [...]
Continue reading...PS3 Still Too Expensive? No way…
Tuesday, July 10, 2007
How are people still saying the PS3 is too expensive? The $100 price cut bumped the Amazon sales rank on the 60GB unit up 2800%. I don’t think people understand what they are getting with the PS3, and that’s why they think it’s “expensive”. Let’s have a look: Blu-ray Player (Currently the cheapest one is around [...]

Tuesday, July 10, 2007
I would keep the quotes pretty heavily around the “playing” part. It looks like he’s using Telekinesis to stream the video from his laptop to the iPhone. It’s a cool tech demo, but hardly looks playable. Have a look:

Tuesday, July 3, 2007
I was scrolling through some PS3-game reviews on GameSpot and noticed that the PS3 releases of the XBox 360 titles are all getting high 8s and 9.0 reviews. I’m chalking this up to extra dev time and spit/polish time by the developers, but it’s certainly nice to see. Then again, when a game like Overlord comes [...]

Tuesday, June 19, 2007
VoodooExtreme reports that the BBFC has banned the sale of Manhunt 2 in the UK… the last time this happened was in 1997 when Carmageddon was banned (then later overturned). VE asks if Rockstar has gotten ahead of themselves with the whole “violence is awesome” card, and I have to agree. There are all sorts of [...]

Tuesday, June 12, 2007
 OSNews has the scoop that the games EA agreed to co-release for Mac Leopard (OS X 10.5) are actually running on top of Transgaming’s Cider emulator platform. This essentially boils down to a “Mac version of Wine” running the games and not a native port.

Wednesday, May 9, 2007
 Kotaku reports that there are rumors the new RE: UC may include co-op. Kotaku says “nay” to the rumor of the co-op, and I would normally agree except the game has already been shown to be a “rails” game… meaning you don’t control movement. So I see no reason you couldn’t have a co-op experience with [...]
