  • PS3 Slim Releasing Next Month?

    Playstation 3 has definetly been in the news today, and this time it's another PS3 Slim rumor. We've attempted to not cover the PS3 Slim rumors because they were just that...rumors. But considering that this story has multiple sources, it might be more than just rumor. In a report that was published today by Economic Daily News, Sony has signed a contract with Hon Hai Precision Industry Company Ltd to manufacture a new hardware model of the Playstation 3, which has led people to believe it...
  • Backwards Compatible For All PS3s?
    by Corey Winter

    Back when Sony announced that they were completely cutting backward compatibility in all the Playstation 3 models, Playstation fans that had a large PS2 library wept...like myself. But you know, Sony had a fairly good reason. The console's Emotion Engine, which enables the system to play PlayStation 2 software, theoretically cut production costs by a lot. But a recent patent filed by Sony suggests that they have found a way to bring it back to all past and future PS3s. Mentioned in a rep...

    That's right, ladies and gentlemen! The movie adaptation of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is now officially in production.  The film is being brought to you by Columbia, and will be written by Kyle Ward. Ward is also working on the movie adaptations of Kane & Lynch and Hitman 2. Avi Arad will be the head of production, along with Charles Roven, Ari Arad and Alex Gartner. No details on the release date, casting, or director have been announced. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was a stand-out...
  • Halo: Reach Might Support Natal

    Bungie’s president Harold Ryan and its creative director Joseph Staten mentioned in a recent interview with Seattle Times that Halo: Reach might be Project Natal compatible. "I absolutely think [Halo:] Reach could be enabled with it," Howard told the Times. This is in no way a confirmation that Reach will in fact be using Natal, but it's obviously on the minds of the guys at Bungie. At most, you might expect Natal to be an optional feature that is not required to play the game. Natal coul...
  • Hulu Blocking PS3 Viewers
    by Corey Winter

    Watching any video on Hulu using your Playstation 3 is now virtually impossible. In an unexpected turn of events, it would appear that Hulu is now purposfully blocking the Playstation 3 platform. If you go and try and watch a Hulu video, all you'll get is this message: "Unfortunately, this video is not available on your platform. We apologize for any inconvenience." I don't think their apology is really sincere. The reason being, is that Spong.com is reporting a possible deal between Mi...
  • Mass Effect DLC News Coming…Eventually
    by Corey Winter
    Posted June 29th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
    Early last week, we posted news that details on the upcoming DLC for the original Mass Effect game would be posted by last Friday. It turns out someone that has access to Bioware's Twitter page dropped the ball. Now they have this to say: “Due to circumstances beyond my control (me being stupid on timing), any news of more ME1 DLC will have to wait.” So it looks like we'll be waiting a tad bit longer for any news on the DLC. We'll post it whenever it comes....
  • Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad to be Released

    Tripwire Interactive takes the road less-traveled with their recently-announced Red Orchestra sequel, Heroes of Stalingrad, which boasts a campaign mode putting you in the jackboots of a German soldier. It will still support the multi-player Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 was all about, but with a lot of new tweaks, namely graphics, physics, and stat-tracking. It will also have a new co-op mode, Skirmish, which requires you and up to 10 other players, without respawns, to assault a group of enemy...

    Michael Jackson, the "King of Pop", has died at the age of 50. Michael started his music career in his childhood as part of the successful pop group The Jackson 5, formed with his siblings in 1967.

  • Name Change Bad for Modern Warfare 2?
    by Corey Winter
    Posted June 25th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
    I had a feeling it was not a smart idea to remove the "Call of Duty" name from Modern Warfare 2. Apparently dropping the name has hurt the consumer awareness levels for the game. A Gamasutra article reports that am OTX survey given to US gamers asking the gamers if they had heard of the "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" game shows that the consumer awareness level dropped to 20 percent when the Call of Duty name was dropped, down from the 40 percent level when the Call of Duty name was ...
  • Porn on the iPhone…but not for long.

    We don't usually cover news on iPhone/iPod Touch apps, but this one was too good to pass up. An update that added adult content to an app appeared on the App store for use with the iPhone and Touch, but apparently it wasn't meant to get approved by Apple, and it was promptly removed. An update for the app "Hottest Girls" added photos of topless women to the app that already included an extensive library of suggestive photos. On the product page for the app, the description stated that app ...
