    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

    My super negative knee jerk review - Maybe I play too much cod4 on my 360. Maybe I’ve been out of the PC shooter game too long. All I know is I went into my STALKER experience last weekend with high hopes and a sense...

    I wanted to hate Burnout…

    …but a snobby developer that pays attention to the quality of their product can’t be ignored in this day and age of waiting for a Mass Effect title update that probably won’t come. For those of you that aren’t aware, Criterion pushed out their Bogart...

    WinMo7 possible in 2009

    I’ll make this a quick post; CNET has an article regarding a recent visit to Redmond by a gentleman from PocketNow, and his experiences with Windows Mobile 7.  Of particular note is the (admittedly older) link to the leaked screens of Windows Mobile 7.  If you’ve...

    Two years later…

    As I was noodling around our new WordPress 2.5-flavored site, I decided to leaf through a couple of our very first posts, and I came across one of my very first posts back when the 360 had just been out to market for a couple...

    SuperAwesome JapaneseKid SoundtrackExtreme!

    Mega Man 3 has easily one of my favorite game soundtracks from the NES days.  It was incredibly forward-thinking and surprisingly rocking for how limited the musical creation tools were for NES devkits (Apparently I’m not the only person who thinks so).  How appropriate it...

    You Got Wii on my 360!

    I’m sure you’ve heard at least a small bit of rumbling about this lately, but this article seems to be the one to best capture the current state of the rumors that Microsoft is in fact creating a Wii-like wand controller for the Xbox 360. ...

    Viewfinder vs. Photosynth: FIGHT!

    Downloadsquad just posted a story today regarding Viewfinder.  Succinctly,  Viewfinder takes an uploaded image and matches it to a spot in the world through the use of Google Maps.  While I’m highly skeptical of the power of such a system, it sounds like it would be...
