Gears Of War 2 Gameplay Trailer

Epic has released a new gameplay trailer. Quite cool, check it out.

Microsoft, Big Brother, And YOU, Xbox GTA 4 Outsells PS3 Gta 4?

"There's been a lot of focus in the last week on Grand Theft Auto IV and which platform it best runs on.

The majority of people who've played both versions are saying that it runs marginally better on the PS3, but the findings are inconclusive at best: both are equally good in our eyes."

People shouldn't be surprised. The bigger the corporation, the greedier and more immoral they become (legally of course).

This is a textbook marketing technique to bash competition by using "data and facts" to prove something "true."

And I can bet you, it works, sadly. But take heart, Sony is a big, fat greedy company like Microsoft is, so both aren't going anywhere any time soon.

Killzone 2 Videos (short)

"WHile waiting for some real gameplay, here is the attract mode video of Killzone 2 as filmed a few minutes ago by Snoopers during the Gamer's Day event.

Update: First part of the gameplay video is up.

Update 2: Second part of the video added."

These are very short videos but look very promising. Not a bad addition to the FPS line of games for PS3 (and they probably badly need them to keep up with the xbox and wii's).

Nintendo Wii Fit Calls Healthy 10-Year Old Girl "Fat", Traumatizing Her

"A number of parents have expressed concerns over Nintendo creating bad body images after a concerned family member complained that Wii Fit labeled her relative overweight."

I'm all for innovation but I never considered the Wii inadvertantly calling little children "fat". What's to stop them from being labeled "loser" or "stupid" or "poor" or worse, Jizz-Mopper????

And people thought violent video games were bad influences on people. Ha!

Sony's Cheap Attempt To Force Blu-Ray On Us Fizzles As Blu-Ray Sales Go Down

"BLU-RAY PLAYER SALES are sucking wind as well they should. According to Cnet, sales of the DRM infected format players are dropping like rocks.

The not so bright people out there had expected sales to skyrocket once the format war was done, but it didn't. They thought was people would ignore the massive defects of Blu-ray and buy like the dumb sheep that they are, handcuffing themselves to the Sony bank account...."

I remember this kind of behavior when I played Everquest 1 and Star Wars Galaxies. They charge us a shit ton of money for a product that features horrible gameplay, balance, or endless nerf bats.

I'll say this and hope it echoes, FUCK YOU SONY AND SONY ONLINE ENTERTAINMENT for all your bullshit, sub-par products. Your glory days were back in the pre-1990's when Sony meant "quality".

Damn fat, greedy corporate bastards who forget about the ones who make them what they are, US (the consumer). Ugh, how do they stay in business?!

Valve: "We're not PS3 developers"

"Valve's main marketer Doug Lombardi was on hand recently to show off the latest version of the awesome looking PC, 360 zombie shooter, Left 4 Dead. But PS3 is being left out of the loop.

Lombardi told us, "We're not PS3 developers - we're doing PC and 360 like with Orange Box. EA came to us and said 'Wow, Orange box was an incredible project, can we do a PS3 version?'"

Wow, the ps3 got the shaft, but I guess I could sympathize with Valve. They only have a limited amount of resources to produce code for each console platform, and the ps3 seems to rank on the bottom of their list. We all know Valve is leaving money on the table but let's hope Left 4 Dead makes everyone enough $ to encourage Valve to release this game for the Playstation 3

Genious Installs Internet Browser On Xbox 360, Legally!

"For years man has wondered how do I get Internet on my Xbox 360? Today you will need to look no further! I have found a way to have a Internet browser run on the Xbox 360 without no illegal modifications! You must have the following for this to work:

An Xbox 360 with a Internet Connection (Duh!)
Windows OS (XP SP2, Vista)
Windows Media Center hooked up

Steps to follow:..."

Even though this seems plausible, I would greatly caution any user doing this because we have no idea if Microsoft will allow this. I would ask Satansoft if this is ok (obviously before you attempt to install this) otherwise you could get banned for "illegal" modification.

Salvation! Grand Theft Auto Ps3 Freeze Fixed?!?!

" Today both of my PS3s locked up while trying to load GTA 4.

I did the common fix which did not work. Then my brother called me. His 40 GB PS3 was having the same issue. Couple of other friends had the same issue after I called around. They could NOT play GTA 4.

And then it hit me.

WHY would this happen to me tonight after finishing the game without a hitch. Why is it happening to people who never had the issue at all over the last few days. So I checked my router and saw a bunch of unusual traffic from both PS3s. I turned off my online access for both PS3s and boom I was in. Just now I find out that you just need to be logged out of the PSN. Called up my bro, did the same thing and boom he was in. Friends, check.

So hopefully this will do it. Take note Rockstar ;). Send me a signed copy of the game as a thank you."

Based on the comments from this source, it seems that the internet connection is to blame for your freezing.

Try attempting different combinations of your internet connection as follows:

1. If you connect to xbox live and/or PSN, disconnect it.
2. If you are disconnected, tried connecting.
3. If you are wireless, go wired cables.
4. If you are wired, go wireless.
5. Check your router and change its settings.
6. Disconnect/connect router.
7. If all above fail, send rockstar an angry email.

Nintendo's Plans For Online Play Like Playstation Network and Xbox Live?

"Online Pay To Play And An Hard drive Coming Soon To The Wii?

Last year at the Game Developers Conference, Nintendo's Takashi Aoyama introduced Nintendo’s upcoming plans for a Pay & Play online service. Before you panic, let me note that Nintendo will be keeping the existing free Wi-Fi connect service it already offers.

But, some of the newer games that will be released may require a small fee to be played online. All of the games that will require a fee will have a red sticker placed on them so that they can be easily identified. I also feel that is important to note, that the online service will not affect any of the current Wii games that currently use online play..."

Ah, the joys of online gaming subscriptions. It's the new money making machine of our time. I can only wonder if the "best" titles will be something people have to pay money every month for. This would be bad for all the cheapskates out there but could be a good thing for the gaming industry (It sure as hell will mean dollar signs for Nintendo).

I can only wonder what will happen to video games in the future.
