This PlayStation Move Game Isn’t What You Think It Is

Trials HD Adopts Darwinism, Becomes Trials Evolution
Wait for it. Past the graphics and the darkness, at the very end, you’ll catch your first glimpse of Trials Evolution (for Xbox Live Arcade), which the developers call “the next dimension” in the series, and which we’ll call “shiny bikes about to cause harm”.

Microsoft’s New Official 360 Steering Wheel Cuts the Cord [Update]
There’s been a wired Xbox 360 steering wheel for years now. I should know, there’s one in my closet gathering dust. There’s now a wireless Xbox 360 steering wheel.

Dust 514, CCP’s first-person shooter spinoff from its EVE Online MMO, will (as expected) be a PS3 exclusive. And yet, the two games, PS3 and PC, will be linked. How can that be? Similar to Valve’s limited Steam compatibility between PC/Mac and PS3, the games on console and on PC will “share the same universe”,…
