Logitech Driving Force Feedback GT PS3 Wheel Review
Summary [8.5 out of 10] The Logitech Driving Force GT PS3 Wheel is an excellent driving wheel with a good build quality at a solid price point that will satisfy any casual or avid racer. Unfortunately not every game makes correct or full use of driving wheels, but the ones that do (e.g. Gran Turismo 5) [...]

Tuesday, July 8, 2008
If you are a Sony PS3 owner, you have possibly been waiting for the introduction of Home for about a year now. You were waiting for it in 2007 or Early 2008 when it was suppose to first come out, and now you are waiting for it again later this year; assuming it makes that [...]

Sunday, July 6, 2008
Summary [7.5 out of 10] Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit is an amazingly detailed translation of the Dragon Ball Z universe into a fighting video game.

Thursday, June 26, 2008
If you are like me, you probably use your PS3 to stream media from a NAS at home or something; either from the NAS directly or via a computer using TVersity. If you have begun to dabble with streaming HD content, either 720p or 1080p, you may have noticed that the PS3’s playback of that media [...]
Continue reading...Leaked Shots of Upcoming PS3 2.4 Trophy Support
Tuesday, June 24, 2008
For those that don’t own a PS3 or don’t know about the drama, the PS3 has shipped, all the way up until this point, with no Achievement-like system, so there is not recognition for completing milestones in video games, etc. Also there has been no support for in-game cross-media-bar navigation, which completely rules out chatting [...]

Thursday, May 15, 2008
Update #1: Don’t forget to check out our full review of Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit for the PS3! With the super-anime-looking remake/new-game of Naruto around the corner, it seems the new fad for anime-based games is to use incredible looking cell shading to get that true “drawn” look, including ink-blurs and the like during high [...]
Continue reading...Haze (PS3) is Garbage
Monday, May 12, 2008
Just got done installing (1.4 GB) and playing the PS3’s Haze demo and I have this to say about it: It’s utter and complete garbage. The graphics are horrible, possibly on part with Halo 2, but even that is a crap-shoot. They more accurately remind me of how the Gears of War levels look briefly after a [...]

Friday, May 2, 2008
Microsoft continues to deny a Xbox 360 with a Blu-ray drive to avoid letting 360s sit on shelves and collect dust while people wait… but rumor has it that a subsidary of ASUS has won the contract to build the Xbox 360’s with the Blu-ray drives in them for Microsoft, prepping for a Q3 release [...]

Wednesday, April 16, 2008
Niiiice, it looks like even though 2.30 firmware for the PS3 just dropped, adding a new PSN Store interface as well as adding DTS-HD support to the PS3, work on the next set of firmware upgrades is hot underway. Sony promises not only in-game XMB but also a new video download service that will be “unlike [...]
Continue reading...Turok Review (PS3)
Thursday, April 10, 2008
Summary [6.5 out of 10] Turok is a perfect example of a next-gen game almost being good, with close-minded, repetitive and sometimes punishing try-die-and-try-again game design dragging down some of the impressive technical accomplishments. Introduction The premise of Turok is that you are John Turok and ex-member of the super-elite Wolfpack group and now a member of the [...]

Sunday, March 23, 2008
Summary [6.5 out of 10] Kane & Lynch is an idea for a good game, wrapped in 2 obnoxious technical mechanics (controls and cover), last-gen graphics and obnoxiously repetitive/punishing level design and gameplay elements. Introduction I’ll admit, I’ve been tempted by the marketing of Kane & Lynch and wanted to get it, even after all the bad reviews [...]

Thursday, March 20, 2008
See, this is why I’m glad my Blu-ray player is my PS3… it’s infinitely upgradable.

This tip is a little obscure, but it’s one that has driven me crazy for [...]
