The Elements of Gadgets and Gaming
Another week, another demo on PSN. Today, we’re looking at Soul Caliber IV, the fourth game in the long running fighting series. PS3 owners are getting a real treat with this game by getting Darth Vader as a playable character. Xbox 360 owners got Yoda. According to others opinions on the game, Vader is a…
Final Fantasy XIII is coming out soon. I admit I’ve never played any of the FF games. The game is already stirring up some controversy in the gaming community, and no, it’s actually not from Jack Thompson this time. The demo of the game is said to include 90 minutes of gameplay and will be…
Stardock and Gas Powered Games have created a Gamer’s Bill of Rights. As readers will know, I’ve praised Stardock in the past for their user friendly and DRM free gaming experiences. They have been highly critical of the industry and the general attitude that legitimate gamers need to be clamped down on to prevent rampant…
There are so many great episodes of the Simpsons that I wished I could have added to my original top ten. As a follow up to my post back in July, I’m going to list the best Simpsons episodes per season. In the case of seasons that have an episode already on the top ten,…

I’m late reviewing this year’s biggest PS3 blockbuster. Quite late in fact and with good reason even though I’ve had the game for a while. MGS4 follows the Solid Snake on his final mission; it is the final game in the Metal Gear franchise. I admit that I have not played any of the other…
We all know the Xbox 360 has some problems, to say the least. The biggest issue it tends to experience is overheating, which can eventually lead to the dreaded “red ring of death”. So how does one deal with all that heat? What I’ve been saying all along, add some bigger fans and better airflow….
Ars Technica is reporting that a $199 Xbox 360 model will be released this September. It’s not a new model but actually the current hard drive-less Arcade that currently retails for $299.
