id’s RAGE is coming soon, and I can personally attest that it’s not only beautiful (in a dreary, post apocalyptic sort of way) but that it runs at a buttery-smooth 60 fps (most of the time), no matter what console you play it on. The man behind much of id Tech 5, the engine that powers the game has called Sony’s PlayStation 3 the ... [»]
The second game in the apparent Xbox Live Arcade and PSN Dreamcast revival has finally been given a release date.

Somebody is being an evil bastard and toying with gamers’ emotions. SEGA have announced a new game that they’re billing as the third Shenmue game – yet it’s not a reason to be out in the streets joyously celebrating. If anything, it’s more likely to make people raise their fists to, and shout at the heavens. For ... [»]
Major Nelson has posted a video which pretty much confirms this controller is coming to the US for $70. Video at the bottomThe Xbox 360 controller is probably my favourite video game controller – barring the ridiculous legendary awesomeness of the Dreamcast’s, of course. Unlike Sony’s decades old dual-shock design,I’m not left with cramped hands after ... [»]
I love my PS3, as I loved my PS2 and PS1 before it. What I’ve never really liked though, is the aesthetically unchanged controller each system has shipped with. It primarily comes down to the analogues, which were added as an afterthought on the PS1 controller’s existing, thumbstick-less mould, for use in analogue-compatible games like Tobal 2, Bushido ...

Woops! Somebody screwed up, and they screwed up BIG TIME. If a planning document that showed up on SEGA’s PR site holds any truth – and indications are that it does – then SEGA have just inadvertently let the PS3 backwards compatibility cat out of the bag. The document details all sorts of SEGA and Sony hand-holding, ... [»]
Despite being a card-carrying member of the geek-club, I am not a Star Wars fan. That doesn’t mean that I’m a Star trek fan either; Science Fiction, in general, fails to elicit much excitement from me - with Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy being a notable exception.This custom mod by Popular Science reader Brian De Vitis may change that though, because it’s managed to elicit ...

Ten years ago today in north America SEGA released what would become their last foray into the console hardware arena. It was the first of the 6th generation of consoles to make it in to people’s homes – Before the Nintendo Gamecube, the PlayStation 2 and Microsoft’s Xbox. It was, 10 years ago, a beast of a ... [»]
The internet rumour mill is in full swing, this time laced with more than just a little conspiracy; An anonymous N4G forum user by the name of Super_Secret – who claims to be an employee of Sony Japan – has divulged why you can’t have unified custom soundtracks, and by extension cross-game chat on your PS3.Normally nobody really pays attention to random forum users, but Super_Secret was eerily correct when he leaked information on the PS3 slim back in June; He said the install ...

Harmonix, developers of Rock Band have dated and priced their Beatles-themed iteration. The game is set to release exactly ten years after Sega’s beloved Dreamcast – 09/09/09. While it’s a visually appealing date, I’d have favoured one after 9/09. The bundle – set to appear on all two three current-gen systems will be priced at $249.99, $50 more than Rock Band 2. The instruments are said to be modelled after the Beatle’s own , although the bundle will likely not include George Harrison’s ... [»]
