Sony - The gang that couldn't shoot straight.
Sony's latest debacle with the 2.4 update illustrates the sad state of the company. Nearly three years after the 360 offered these features, Sony releases a botched firmware update for a... PSP for gaming
There has been a strange dichotomy regarding PSP hardware sales versus software sales to date. While the PSP hasn't enjoyed DS type sales, it has steadily built up an impressive install base these... XNA/Creators Club announcements at GDC
I was pretty impressed with the recent updates regarding XNA at the Game Developers Conference this week. I think this may have flown under a lot of gamers radars or that people may not understand... The format war
My thoughts on recent developments in the movie format war below. For the record, I own 19 HD-DVD's and 12 Blu-Ray movies so far. Of those HD-DVD's, 4 are dual-format so I can watch those on DVD... UMD redux?
The recent Blockbuster announcement regarding Blu-Ray support got me to thinking about what could explain the discrepancy between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD sales. I think we're seeing the UMD effect... I'm a s*cker
My 360 died again Saturday morning ( actually it started acting up Friday night ).  To add insult to injury, MS customer support wasn't able to process my repair order until late Sunday night... History repeating?
Looking into the crystal ball I get the feeling that history is repeating itself with Nintendo's latest console.  The last console made an initial splash thanks to the die-hard Nintendo-philes,... My Year In Gaming
I'm pathetically anal about my favorite hobby ( yeah, gaming ) and have kept a running spreadsheet of my gaming purchases for the past two years - that's purchases for my entire family, not just... Turn based strategy
I've been jumping back and forth recently between Advance Wars and Field Commander.  They both remind me of the " beer and pretzel " type wargames by SSI on the PC in the past ( Panzer General,... Nintendo has lost its way (wii?)
This is just the latest sign that Nintendo has lost its direction.  I'm convinced with every new official press release from Nintendo that this will be their last console ever as these blunders... Sony playing games
Once again the Sony PR juggernaut is showing its true nature.  First they toy with gamers by insinuating that everyone should hold off buying a 360 because the PS3 will come out just a few months... 360 Launch
I'm amused to read all of the conspiracy theories surrounding the 360 launch shortage.  I think everyone is missing a very obvious point.  I seriously doubt MS intentionally shorted the launch... Next Gen
Well, the opening rounds have been fired for the next round of the console wars! It appears to me that the battle for market share will definitely be fought between Microsoft and Sony. Nintendo... Finishing Games
I'm one of those people who typically buys a bunch of games but rarely finishes them. That's why i was surprised when I looked back on the past few months and realized that I've finished KOTORII (... Happy Birthday to me!
Friday was my b-day and it was filled with gaming joy. :) With some money I received I bought the Madcatz MC Universal racing wheel. While it's not as good as the Microsoft wheel I have for my... Pre-Order/Trade-In Madness
Well, I went through a bunch of my old games and DVD's and traded-in quite a few to pre-order TimeSplitters 3, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Doom 3 and Jade Empire. After the trade-ins I'll only end... Give me choices!
I'm going on my pedestal today to complain about the design decisions some developers make which undermine the appeal of their games. Two things which frustrate me the most are the lack of real... So many games, so little time
I picked up GT4 and Tekken 5 in the past week and already have Republic Commando (X-Box) pre-ordered at EB. I can't believe how many promising titles are coming out in March or were just... Burnout 3
My Wife bought Burnout 3 on the X-box for herself today. She was addicted to the second one and has already put in a lot of time with the sequel today. The new features and tweaks look good.... First Entry - sports!
9/904 I didn't even notice the Journal tab until I saw the survey question on the homepage today! I keep a personal journal and thought I'd take a stab at keeping an online Journal devoted to...
