How to Use the Playstation 3 Controller in Windows Vista
The plan was to re-familiarize myself with all the original NES Mega Man games, in preparation for a review of Mega Man 9 which is being released this week on all three consoles. Of course, I bought Mega Man 2 on Wii Virtual Console as soon as it came out, but amazingly that is the [...]
Wii hacker develops head tracking desktop VR with Wii Remote
We all agree that Nintendo’s Wii Remote design is ingenius in its effectiveness and simplicity. Many first-party titles are using it to make certain games more immersive than ever.

How to reset a locked up iPod Nano
You’ll never hear me saying things like “I love my Nano”. Unlike most Apple fanboys, I don’t follow the brand like a cult. If they make a product I don’t like - like overpriced laptops with one mouse button - then I’ll avoid it. But if they make one that looks great, I’ll pick it [...]

Uh oh, things are looking grim for Nintendo; CVG is reporting that hackers have found a security hole in the Flash Player of the Wii Browser, opening up the console to run unsigned code. Of course everyone says they want to run homebrew apps on it, but you know what is really going to [...]
