The Elements of Gadgets and Gaming
Good gravy with a steaming load of horse manure. 2K Games has officially announced that Bioshock, previously an Xbox 360 exclusive, will be released for the Playstation 3. You may remember I didn’t have a lot of good things to say about the PC version of this game. This was mainly due to the crippling…
Yet another new PSP bundle to add to the growing list. I didn’t mention this one in the review. Like the Daxter bundle I did mention, this one seems to be of excellent value too. The new bundle features a new colour, metallic blue. This pack is for football fans. It includes a copy of…
When I first started this blog, my first post was a list of things that I thought the PSP needed to improve it. Some have been done, others haven’t. I’ve talked about it on and off but I’ve never done a review of it. After writing up on the DS, I’d thought it was time…
One of May’s anticipated titles is the PS3 exclusive shooter Haze. There’s a demo available for it on PSN. I didn’t review this particular demo but I think it’s worth another look. First of all, let me say that I hate most of the stuff UBIsoft puts out, particularly after getting stung with Lock-On: Modern…
I recently got my hands on a Nintendo DS Lite for the weekend so I thought I’d review it as I did with the other consoles. This past week, CNet did a run down putting the DS head to head with the PSP. The two portables were the first seventh generation consoles to hit the…
So why review demos when they’re free for everybody to try. There’s a couple of reasons. First off, I just like too. Secondly, they can be pretty indicative of what the final game will be like. I’m a strong believer that demos should be available for all games since we can see for ourselves whether…
CNET had an interesting article titled “12 Ways to Make the PS3 Perfect“. It still is one of the best off-the-shelf HTPCs on the market as well as being a great game console but it does have its flaws. Lets start with a rundown of CNET’s suggestions and then I’ll add my own. 1. Make…
“Merchandising! We put the picture’s name on everything!” I never did get that Spaceballs The Flamethrower. Movies tend not to do as well as they used to in the cinema so lets sell some junk to fill in the bucks. What’s selling big today? Why games of course! The problem is that a hit movie…
Last year, Codemasters had a hit with Dirt, the latest in the Colin McRae racing series that was renamed after his untimely death. This year, Codemasters is releasing the next generation edition of Race Driver: GRID. The demo was made available today for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. GRID is a bit of a small…
Up until fairly recently, if you wanted a high power gaming system, you needed a Windows PC. When it comes to gaming, a PC has numerous advantages over a console, primarily in terms of customization. It’s possible to stay ahead of the curve with the latest and greatest hardware or build a rig to suit…
