FFD: Is the videogame industry falling apart?

 - February 3rd, 2012
Things aren’t looking especially good for the video game industry. THQ, one of the industry’s major publishers and developers is on the rocks - cutting jobs and devaluing by the second. If they do crumble, they wouldn’t be alone; the depressing list of developers who’ve shuttered their doors this generation is staggering. Industry Giant Sony has reported its fourth consecutive year in the red, and even Nintendo - who spent the beginning of this generation ... [»]

If true, this will be ... [»]

UFC knocked Xbox Live out

 - January 4th, 2012
If you live in a country where the hardware you buy is actually wholly supported (Read: USA), you can watch live UFC matches right from your Xbox 360. If you’re the sort who enjoys watching monosyllabic, sweaty men pummelling the snot out of each other, then that’s a pretty nifty feature. Or at least it would be. If it worked.Last Friday, UFC 141 was meant to be available to watch - as ... [»]

The Lazygamer Awards 2011 – Best Driving Game

 - December 20th, 2011
Racing games, as far as I’m concerned are all the same - basically slightly interactive screen-savers - where steering left or right allows you to see different sections of the track. Or wall, as is usually the case with me. Were it up to me, Mario Kart 7 would take this category without the slightest hint of competition - but we do this thing by ... [»]

Microsoft joins the “can’t sue us” bandwagon

 - December 8th, 2011
Earlier this year, there was a bit of an outrage over Sony’s new PSN terms and conditions. Through their EULA, Sony made it so that by agreeing to use their services, you’ve also agreed not to sue or enter class-action litigation against them. EA soon followed suit soon after with a similar set of T’s&C’s. It looks like Microsoft’s not too keen on Class-action lawsuits either - ... [»]

Rumour: Kinect 2 will be able to read your lips

According to Eurogamer’s ninja sources, the next iteration of Microsoft’s controller-free motion-sensing Kinect - that’ll be included with the next Xbox - will include greatly enhanced tracking and voice-recognition capabilities. Apparently the device will be able to read lips, detect the direction a player is facing and recognize the player’s emotional state.The device, unhampered by the slow USB speeds that currently limit Kinect’s technology will allow for high-bandwidth data transfer that’ll allow Kinect to allow for far greater precision.

Microsoft wants to bolster its exclusives library

Nintendo has all that first-part goodness; Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Donkey Kong (and that list goes on and on too) while the 360 really only has ... [»]
