This is a series that took the TV world by storm last year (and yours truly is one of the many who are addicted) and it’s not available [...]
XBOX 360 tops sales chart for once
As you just saw, Halo 3 sold pretty damn well in September, making more money than every other game on the Top 10 list combined. It also helped propel the 360 to the top of NDP’s September hardware sales charts, although not by as much as you might have expected:
Xbox 360 – 527.8K
Wii – 501K
Nintendo [...]

I think a lot of people would agree that the most pleasant surprize in gaming this year is Portal, the most underhyped portion of The Orange Box. Portal was actually the part we were looking forward to most, but little did we know that a simple puzzle game would be so immersive and contain [...]
Bionic Commando is COMING BACK!
Looks like I was thinking along the right lines, as Bionic Commando was my first choice when coming up with a list of old school 2D video games that need to be revamped – in 2D. Okay, so I was only partially correct this time; Capcom also wanted to make a new Bionic Commando game, [...]
Toting a gun around in WoW
I once had this dream where my friends and I were hiking in the mountains. We stumbled on a mansion and explored inside. Upstairs, we found a coffin with Dracula in it. Dracula sat up and looked at us. We screamed and ran outside. Started running up the hill [...]

Taiwanese winner creates controversy at World Cyber Games in Seattle
To the average spectator, it was just another medal given out to a player at the World Cyber Games Finals, which took place in Seattle last weekend.

Hybrid hard drives are an exciting development for laptop users, as they have various advantages specific for mobile computing. For instance, Seagate is claiming that just by [...]
New 40GB PS3 confirmed for Europe at €400
And that just means that the rumored new model will be destined for the rest of the world, probably at the equivalent of $400 USD (and probably $450 in Canada, despite the fact that their dollar is worth as much as the US Dollar right now).
You’ll notice on the front that there are only two [...]
