    Damn, this thing is beautiful

    Just pulled my PS3 out of the box. It is pretty heavy, and bigger than my PS2 and Xbox 360. Its got a mirror shine and just looks great! The USB cable to charge the SIXAXIS controler is pretty short, about 3 feet. Everything else is pretty standard, except... They included a free Bluray...

    Get in Line

    The news here is covering the lines more than I thought anyone would. It seems that tons of people (way more than available PS3's or Wii's) are camping out. There was even reports of people selling their places in line for more than $800. If Wal-Mart's online pre-orders (which sold out in a...

    Your local Pre-order Info

    Gamestop and EBgames will be pre-ordering the Wii on Friday (10/13/06) in the US. My local EBgames tells me to show up before the store opens, as they plan to sell out pre-orders quickly. It wont be as hard to get one as a PS3, but the demand is still high, so plan on waiting in line if you...

    Your local Pre-order Info

    The Wii will cost $249.99, and a little over $300 for a console and extra controler set up. Wii games will cost around $49.99, which is a better price than any other next-gen console.

    GAMESTOP / EB GAMES IS PRE-ORDERING PS3s TODAY ONLY!! The reports that they will not be pre-ordering are just wrong. I just got back from the store myself, and my PS3 is locked down. My local EBgames (Phoenix, AZ) was able to get their hands on 14 PS3s for launch. But Phoenix is a big...

    PS3 tech = world's fastest supercomputer

    This is pretty sweet. The US government is using video game technology to push forward science. We all know that video game tech is always on the bleeding edge, but others are taking notice and taking advantage. A team at the Los Alamos National Lab in Los Alamos, New Mexico is building...

    Will PS2 live on.

    The PS1 was a serious money maker for sony long after the PS2 came out. Not only that, but there were some pretty good games produced for the PS1 during the beginnings of the "PS2 era". It will live on.

    Saints Row vs. Just Cause

    Just Cause looks sweet! Skydiving and BASE jumping - Awesome! Flying airplanes - Awesome! 250,000 acres of sandbox to explore - Awesome! Plausable political drama (sorry I'm getting a PoliSci degree) - Awesome! Saints Row looks like a great game too, but I've played the gangster more times...

    xbox360, could it win the counsil war??

    MS will be stiff competition for everyone. But it would be terrible for us gamers if they won the console war. Competition breeds innovation. The best we can hope for is that the 360 will be hard competition for both sony and nintendo. This would hopefully force everyone to push the medium...

    Too effing true (adult language warning)...

    Hooray for the PS3

    I've been looking around the internet and it seems like almost all the opinions concerning the PS3 are totally negitive. I, personally, am stoked! Almost everything I read concerns the high price point. It is an obstacle of many gamers to get over, I understand that. But the price of the...

    Yessssssssssssssssssssssss

    Saw III ? LAME!... Just kidding. It is not the best horror franchise, but the original did take some risks and present an interesting psychological twist. I'm just afraid that too many sequels will make its dynamic played out and boring. I'll still go see it, mind you. Can't pass up a...

    Prey - so what'd ya think?

    I miss Grandpa too... 'tear''sniff''sniff'. But watching that kid get impailed totally threw me for a loop. Seeing the unexpected is always great in a video game.

    Hmmmm....How did I get onto gaming???

    DUCKHUNT!! I did have an Atari, but playing bowling and Joust never really engaged me. Mario ruled when I picked up my first Nintendo. But hours and hours of DUCKHUNT against my friends really got the blood flowing. Viva la DUCKHUNT! - can't wait for the Wii version!

    Prey - so what'd ya think?

    I just finished Prey for the PC. Pretty freakin sweet. The cinema level production was a treat to play. From the first abduction scene I could really feel the theatricality kick into high gear. I've never played a game where I felt like I could be in a movie, not just playing a game trying...

    How are video games written?

    Hey Basil! Check out this book: Game Writing: Narrative Skills for Videogames. It was written with the help of current videogame writers. It will be out in June, and might give you a frame work from which to from start. Don't let any punks tell you that you can't do it. The only way...

    Quit Smoking...need help!

    A friend of mine took apart a BIC pen, and used the empty shell as a placebo cigarette whenever he got cravings. He was able to ween himself off the pen when he decided he looked like an idiot... So, BAM - cold turkey by humiliation. Good luck.
