Shoot-em-ups Making A Comeback On Xbox Live Arcade?
It looks like I’m going to have more to look forward to playing on my Xbox 360 than Halo 3.
My favourite games genre when I was growing up was shoot-em-ups like Raiden, Slapfight, Nemesis and R-type. I loved these games but they seemed to fall out of favour when the consoles became popular. [...]
Playstation 3 Supercomputer And Joining Folding@Home
Kotaku had an interesting story yesterday about an academic who created a supercomputer cluster costing a measly $5,000, using eight PS3s. Apparently the PS3 is very good at clustering because of the very powerful Cell processor.
Although my PC definitely doesn’t have as much power as a supercomputer I really feel that I should use [...]
Why Do Bloggers Think That ‘Old Media’ Rules Don’t Apply To Them?
Two stories have spread like wildfire around the blogosphere over the last couple of days.

I wonder if these stories are starting to concern Nintendo yet, or if they’ve considered the risk of gamers suing them for causing Repititive Strain Injuries [...]
PS3 Hacking Showing Promise
One of the main reasons I bought my Xbox 360 last year, was because I hoped the Xbox modding community would bring out ‘XBMC360′, a suped up version of XBMC. However, Microsoft’s attempts to make the XBox 360 unkackable seem to have paid off with very little progress made over the last 12 months.
Well, it [...]
Playstation 3s Available on eBay?
Kotaku reports that nearly 40,000 Xbox 360s were sold on eBay - that’s nearly 10% of all the Xbox 360s that were produced.
I wonder what will happen when the Playstation 3 is launched? I’m sure there will be a lot of people who will try to make a fast buck by placing lots of [...]
