Always on Xbox One.. the numbers don’t make sense

May 24, 2013 at 11:15 am | 96 Comments

My wife complains that I’m overly logical; I struggle to understand emotions and pretty much everything I do is based on logic. I have no problems understanding a vast majority of criminals and evil people as their actions are often overly logical and they are simply missing the fact that they can’t control the world.

May 24, 2013 at 7:45 am | 112 Comments

If you’re a regular reader you would have noticed that the website has been less stable than Darryn in a comic book store this week and to be honest it totally is your fault this time.

The Xbox One will bring live game shows back

May 23, 2013 at 3:00 pm | 50 Comments

What’s this, is this really some good news surrounding the Xbox One being posted on a gaming website? I think I’ve now seen it all. But in all honesty the Xbox One has not been a pleasant surprise for gamers but this is something I’m very excited about.

Is EA punishing Nintendo for allowing used games?

May 23, 2013 at 12:00 pm | 59 Comments

We posted previously that EA currently had no games in development for the Wii-U which I took as a sign that Nintendo is failing. Then we heard that EA were stopping their online pass fee which took us all by surprise.

Are Microsoft back peddling on their announcements?

May 23, 2013 at 9:45 am | 109 Comments

It’s abundantly clear that the majority of gamers out there are upset about the perceived lack of used games and the ability to swap games on the upcoming Xbox One. So much so that you killed our server yesterday and the local Microsoft reps have been inundated with complaints.

Who was that cheering in the Xbox One press conference

May 22, 2013 at 12:00 pm | 35 Comments

So the Xbox One was revealed last night in a flashy event in Redmond and one thing that was noticeable throughout the event was the spontaneous applause and cheers throughout the event. But was this American exuberance or something more sinister?

Xbox One should work with DSTV and Top TV

May 22, 2013 at 9:45 am | 94 Comments

One of the most pushed features of the new Xbox One is its ability to control your television and we were given a very American view of that last night with the ESPN and other weird American shows that I can’t remember.

The PS3 is only 50 034 units behind the Xbox 360

May 21, 2013 at 2:30 pm | 19 Comments

The Xbox 360 got off to a flying start in this generation with the PlayStation 3 preferring to stay at home perfecting its make up before leaving for the race. By year 3 the Xbox 360 was miles ahead of the PS3 and unbelievably it decided to take a nap.

Hands on preview with Call of Juarez: Gunslinger

May 21, 2013 at 12:30 pm | 7 Comments

Many things can be said about the previous title in the Call of Juarez series, unfortunately since this is a respectful site not many of them can be reproduced here. So when a preview disc for Call of Juarez: Gunslinger landed on my desk I can’t say I was ecstatic about the opportunity.  how wrong I was.

BEYOND has long been the fan boy call from the Sony PlayStation fanbase thanks to a very popular podcast by IGN. It’s also part of the title of their upcoming exclusive Beyond: Two Souls and now it’s part of their ambush marketing plan against Microsoft.

One of the top Xbox Live employees, Eric Neustadter or more commonly referred to as "e", has posted an intriguing image on twitter along with the hashtag #itmeansnothing

Sony planning a massive PS Vita push at E3

May 17, 2013 at 1:30 pm | 16 Comments

I’ve not left anyone in doubt about my doubts of the usefulness of the PS Vita, I really see no purpose for the device at all. However Sony believes differently and if two different rumours are to be believed this morning they are seeing the PS Vita as a big part of the PlayStation future.

The problem with PR companies and gaming

May 17, 2013 at 12:00 pm | 19 Comments

Earlier this week a local PR company, Craving Novity, accidentally released a press release about Gran Turismo 6 early and without any embargo information. This was then instantly posted up by iAfrica and a few others. It was quickly picked up by major international outlets and Polyphony's big reveal was effectively ruined. This is my long-winded rant about how I feel about the whole situation.

Has EA given up on the Wii-U already?

May 17, 2013 at 7:45 am | 16 Comments

I like the Wii-U, Geoff and Zoe are also solid fans of the new Nintendo device but by the look of things that’s about all the fans the poor console has at the moment and the latest news that EA is currently not making any games for the Wii-U isn’t helping.
