It takes an (admittedly self-serving) quote from an online retailer to say what every other industry executive must surely be thinking, but can never dare to say out loud.
Infamous 2 is a PS3 exclusive. Sony is publishing the game, and it won’t be on the Xbox 360. That doesn’t mean Infamous is devoid of Xbox 360 references. In the latest trailer, there is an in-game shop called “Red Ring Electronics”, which seems to be a reference to the, ahem, infamous Red Ring of…
You’re an adult. You like to keep things classy. You like to rock your 3DS in a pouch that not only keeps it safe, but does not scream “I GOT THIS AS A PREORDER BONUS FROM GAMESTOP”. You should, then, look at Watefield’s 3DS cases. The classy bag company is offering three takes on a…

After a court order was issued preventing rapper-turned-hacker George Hotz from ever hacking Sony products again, Hotz is now boycotting the electronics giant’s wares. As previously posted, Hotz agreed to, basically, never mess around with another Sony product ever again. He’s barred from “unauthorized access to any Sony product under the law”, and will be…
My favourite video game rap song of all time is “The Video Game Song” by Sole and Alias. It’s getting a little old, though, so Sole is back with a new game-heavy track, called “The Deadliest Game”, and it’s great If you’re having trouble keeping up, the lyrics are handily displayed in the bottom-left corner…
Or, your first look at a heavily rendered image of a famous football player (in this case, Kaká), the quality of which which you won’t see in the actual game outside of the intro and replay sequences.
Senran Kagura -Shojotachi no Shinei- is an upcoming 3DS ninja action game that features “costume damage” and saucy scenes in 3D. According to Japanese magazine leaks (pictured), it even has boobs bursting out in an unseen fashion. All that sounds like, well, what’s bound to happen on the 3DS. The game, however, does have a…
I had long believed that the cruel, torturous selection of what bricks are coming next in Tetris was random. Turns out, they’re not! Which makes sense. Nothing that cruel can happen by accident. “Tetris doesn’t deliver the bricks in a completely random order; it shuffles ahead a set of bricks”, Goldeneye designer Martin Hollis tells…

Forgive the leetspeak title, PWN3D is a short film from a couple of friends who work in the film industry. It’s directed by a fella named Shane English, and shows what happens when a video game destroys a living room. Watch it. It’s pretty good!
Sarif Industries, a key player in the upcoming Deus Ex: Human Revolution, manufactures robotic human body parts. This “commercial” for the company makes that look even creepier than it sounds. Robot piano hands? Fine for piano, maybe, but what about holding kittens? And robot football arms? That was a perfect, if girly, pass for the…
In Japan, voice actresses have a niche fan base. There are magazines and websites dedicated to them, and popular voice actresses might parlay that into music singles or photobooks. Aya Hirano, the voice of Haruhi Suzumiya, was able to make the leap from anime and games to mainstream celebrity, appearing on television and even as…
Garry Newman, the creator of the Garry’s Mod mod/machinima toolkit for the PC, just sprung one of the best pirate traps in recent memory, tricking those who did not pay for his product into essentially giving themselves up. Newman recently programmed a little trap in the code of the game, which would generate an error…
Rapper (and part-time hacker) George Hotz has settled out of court with Sony, who wanted him strung up on charges of circumventing the PS3’s copy protection. And the details of that settlement are now public. In order to escape going to trial, Hotz has agreed to, basically, never mess around with another Sony product ever…
Brink is out on May 10. If you’re going to be playing it on PC, you’ll need to know its specs. Well, here they are!
Welcome to a themed Tuesday open thread. While I may be reading the above collection, this one’s about the music, podcasts, audiobooks or whatever it is you’re listening to these days. Please, share with the group. I’m still looking to expand my podcast horizons, so further suggestions on high quality, well produced and interesting (non-rambling)…

The Wii may be as cheap as $150 USD next month, according to a report from Engadget, which cites a “trusted source” that says the console will become fifty bucks cheaper by May 15. If accurate, it would be the second price drop Nintendo has issued for the four-year-old platform. The Wii dropped from its…
Konami offers a new look at the dismemberment-focused action adventure NeverDead today, this time featuring a level that looks a little brighter, a little unfinished. Look at all those tarps and that scaffolding! NeverDead is currently in development at Konami and Rebellion Developments. If you don’t know that about this PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360…
