It’s been a little while but Sony’s PlayStation 3 console has finally hit the 50 million mark for units sold. We say ‘finally’ because it’s been almost 5 months since Microsoft’s Xbox 360 did just that. But considering the PS3 was originally launched an entire year later than the Xbox 360, we’d say that’s pretty good. [click to continue…]

No doubt George could ever hope to afford this. [click to continue…]

Microsoft’s Xbox 360 Kinect and Sony’s PlayStation Move have been doing the rounds for a few months or so now and the competition has been a pretty close one at that.

It was a couple or so weeks ago when we first reported on Microsoft requesting Xbox fans to volunteer for it’s beta update preview test.
Where many gamers would more simply receive the information necessary via their own Xbox LIVE account, many others have also been sent a single disc containing both a free copy of Halo: Reach as well as the Xbox Preview itself. [click to continue…]

Seeing as how well other social networking sites have done with the likes of Mafia Wars for example, and dare I say it… Farmville too, this kind of in-game payment system could be coming to our Xbox consoles in the very near future. [click to continue…]
So that is what top Sony CEO, Mr Jack Tretton has to say regarding the suite of DS devices that are currently being dished out by Nintendo. But that’s not all… As well as Nintendo, Tretton has also been throwing dirt over Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Nintendo’s Wii too and surprise, surprise, the CEO has been bigging up the PS3 as being “extremely relevant today and is conspicuously absent in our competition”.

20 years is a long time and is definitely a testament to Sonic’s creators in producing this gaming icon of the last century. The list of games with his name in the title is pretty extensive to say the least and some considerably better than others. [click to continue…]
It seems that GAME Australia spoke sooner than it should’ve done as details of a new map pack have been released a little prematurely.
Given the title ‘Escalation’, you’ll get to shoot til’ your heart’s content across maps including The Zoo, Convoy, Hotel, Stockpile and a zombie map dubbed “Call of the Dead”. It seems though, that this new information came perhaps a little earlier than it should have done as the details we have so far, came from the GAME website in Australia had later got pulled from the site.

It seems that perhaps Anonymous has a heart after all as they have now ceased their cyber attack on Sony’s PSN.
The hacker group calling themselves ‘Anonymous’ had previously turned their attention to Sony due to the group’s perceived view that the corporation in question is attempting to halt the spread of ‘free information’ via it’s filing of a court case against the hacker who calls himself ‘GeoHot’.
