| Halo 3 getting rave reviews so far | 
Gavin Mannion - September 25th, 2007 | According to Metacritic.com Halo 3 has been receiving some great reviews and so far it is averaging out at 96%. According to the Metacritic site Early reviews of Halo 3 suggest that Xbox 360 owners should kiss the ground in front of their collective televisions, as Bungie's latest hits stores this week, joining 2K's BioShock as a double-barrelled gravity hammer shot of gaming manna for the Microsoft faithful.

| Virtual Fighter – Which version to buy | 
Gavin Mannion - September 24th, 2007 | The Virtua Fighter 5 marketing machine is starting up and it looks like they have a firm favourite in the console war. Honestly if you had both consoles and wanted this game which version would you buy after seeing the above advert? The one with online support or the one without?

| Ratchet & Clank Future: 93/100 | 
Gavin Mannion - September 23rd, 2007 | The Official PlayStation magazine has reviewed Ratchet & Clank. Now when the PSM reviewed Warhawk the fanboys went nuts about the editor being biased and this being an evil plot by Microsoft to smear the PS3. Now I am pretty sure the fanboys will be more than happy to point at the 93/100 R&C received as proof of how good the game is... You gotta love fanboys. Anyway the PSM's final remark was Intense, beautiful, and accessible. A return to the series roots and a stellar game indeed This game look awesome and I cannot wait for it to be released... Oh and before anyone says anything, this game is rumoured to be 22 gigs which is being used to prove why the PS3 has Blu-Ray. Sorry but it doesn't look any better than Bioshock, Gears or Call of Duty 4 so I don't see why it required 22 gigs. ... [»] |

| Rumor: Xbox Live Free? | 
XennoX - September 22nd, 2007 | So today I got a message from a friend of mine on Xbox Live saying that I should change my motto to "Xbox Live should be free", as Microsoft are debating on whether they should make Live free or carry on charging us for the service. Now this is just a rumor, and as such has not been confirmed by Microsoft. There are, however, a couple of questions that just keep bothering me for example, if Microsoft turns Xbox Live into a free service, how are they going to compensate those of us with Gold memberships? Also are they even going to compensate us? Therefore right now something just tells me this will always and forever be ... [»] |
