Terminator

the good old days

I had a C64 for my sixth birthday. It was a terminator 2 special edition, came with the game. Best game for me on it was Flimbos Quest and a Circus game, cant remember what the name was. Could spend hours on them games, was better than Mario!

Sony launches 'WiiMote for PS3'

SOCOM 4

The first FPS game using the Move tech is SOCOM 4.

Over 35 developers working on titles for the new tech, with nearly 18 months (from E3 '09 - to launch) the quality of the games and the interactions should be brilliant.

Developers have had more time to work on this than they did with the Wii. The processing power and HD resolution should make the games look and feel awesome.

The PS Eye sold pretty poorly, but you can bet the people who do own one already will be getting the new controllers to go with it.

I imagine most of the games will be PSN titles at launch with a few making it to retail (SOCOM 4, Tennis, Golf & maybe even a Sony version of Wii Sports)

Good tech, powerful system & tested playing methods, all in theory give this new controller a very good chance of succeeding. Lets hope Sony market this well.

Looking forward to being shot down for my comments.

Awww this is so sad. You'd think a service you pay for would be secure and safe......

Best go with the free service that works - or it could just be the users aren't stupid cheating loosers!

GTA IV updates coming to PS3

FAIL

was always going to happen

wonder if microsoft made their money back, didnt they give rockstar a stupid amount of money to keep it exclusive? i remember reading somewhere is was above $50million. It hasnt even been two years since the lost and damned was released. epic fail by microsoft.

atleast microsoft can still brag that they are getting the call of duty map pack a week earlier... whoop!

Too much time spent on computer games... thats not a reason, why dont they blame it on watching to much "x factor" & "sliding on ice"? Or that they are fed rubbish by cheap ass parents whos goal in life is to watch corrie and bellenders?!

Sony sets back PS3 motion controller launch

Ivor Biggen

haha nintendo

the fad is fading

PS3 to support data transfer

Ivor Biggen
Unhappy

@banna-naan

I doubt they will, Id really make the most out of it if they did.

Would mean people are able to watch 1080p videos for free (meaning more ripped blu rays) I remember seeing on the online manuals that mk2 was supported back in 07, but was later removed!!

Minis support... great, tetris on the big screen - thanks sony, how about adding more avatars or fixing the trophy sync error first!

Xbox 360 to go Blu, says Ballmer

Ivor Biggen
Thumb Up

makes sence... to little to late tho?

I cant see games being brought out on blu-ray, microsoft cant expect everyone to buy a blu ray drive to play the latest games.

For watching movies, this is a good idea, but wont alot of people need new xbox's because of a lack of HDMI??

Could also cause your system to RROD?

Spotify shakes hands with 3

good deal

seems like a good deal to me, shame that the handset isnt any good though

i wouldnt even pay 99p for the phone, unless i could stick it on ebay for a tidy profit.

spotify should do this on all networks, id jailbreak my iphone for this

Microsoft to ban 'unauthorised' Xbox 360 memory units

Ivor Biggen
FAIL

wow... got you by the balls

first thing Id want to no is why? why stop people storing 'their' data, on 'their' hard drive to use on 'their' console?

if I still had my 360, i wouldnt be happy. doesnt an offical harddrive or memory unit cost the earth aswell?

unlucky to everyone who this affects, just another reason to get a ps3 now boys

@The Original Steve

So your saying that having a pc + xbox + tv tuner card = cheaper than a ps3?

What an idiot, your saving that a pc (£300), xbox (£170) and tv tuner (£30) total of £500... compared to ps3 (£250) and play tv (£60) total of £310.

£500 set up.... cheaper I dont think so

then you have downtime due to RROD. seems expensive and impractical to me

Ivor Biggen
Stop

fail

just get a PS3 with PlayTV.

Once youve paid for the hardware, the content is free... forever, you can record and store the shows and the all the content is upscaled to 1080p.

For £70 more you can get a playstation 3

Microsoft developing universal game action capture

point?

really? is this really what people want?

Ive never understood the point in watching replays in racing games, nevermind FPS

The only way I would find this entertaining is if your game is always recording and you could hit a couple of buttons to auto save the last 40 seconds or so, after you finish your game you can go back edit a fully 3D replay of e.g. a kill in COD.

You could have a clip following the bullet, then slowly zoom out swinging 90' to see the bullet take your down your target (headshot). Once you have finished editing, upload to e.g youtube, tagging your self and the person you take out in the video.

Would only be something I would do every now and again. Short clips are a good idea, but watching back a full online match 10/15minutes long... Id rather just play another match.
