In an attempt to confuse and bilk further investors by disassociating themselves from ex-CEO Tim Roberts' recent indictment for pump and dumping, Infinium Labs is changing the name of the company to the all-too-appropriate Phantom Entertainment. More »

GameSpot reports on the recently-opened books over at Infinium Labs "makers" of the Phantom and sooner, if finances straighten out the Phantom Lapboard. In an attempt to right the ship that is Infinium, the company is temporarily redirecting its efforts away from the Phantom Game Service and toward the Phantom Lapboard. The battle plan indicates that if Infinium is able to produce the lapboard it would likely be sold online first and then possibly moved into conventional retail outlets depending on its success.

Gamasutra reports that my favorite piece of vaporware not named Duke Nuke 'Em Forever, maker Infinium Labs is having some financial issues and that instead of launching the Phantom "game console" (pun unintended, I didn't name the console - they did) in Q2 2006 gamers can use Infinium's Lapboard! The Lapboard, which Infinium admits it might not have the finances to launch, is a wireless keyboard and mouse set-up for gaming. Gamers will be able to use the lapboard to play within a 30 foot radius of their PC. That fact leads me to wonder, do people play their PC games far from the monitor? Is there a better way to experience PC gaming and the Phantom Lapboard is going to open my eyes to it? More »
