Wii U GPU rumors, and PS4 and Nextbox rumors

214d ago ... Well the rumor is the Wii U is running an AMD 770 GPU, and it looks like those rumors might be absolutely true. A stroll over to AMD website will show a list of all the HD cards they have right now. You can look at the specifications of each card, and there's a very consistent rundown of each card......except the 700 series (excluding the 790). It doesn't show how much RAM is in the card o...

What's going on in Japan?

215d ago ... I believe the title says it all. Japan was once the "IT" country when it comes to games. But now North America has blown them completely out of the water when it comes to game development. Japan were the kings of the RPG genre (JRPG's) and Action/Adventure games, but now little of anything worthwhile comes out of Japan. We're lucky to get 2 - 3 good games a year out of Japan, and I just don...

Overall E3 Review

248d ago ... MS- Where were the exclusive games for the core? 90% of the games for the core were 3rd party titles that are also coming to PS3 and now Wii U. Sony- Use your time more wisely. The flow of the show was probably the best it’s ever been since Sony always has to have 2+ hours per show. But presenters need to get to the point more quickly and get things shows so we can see everything. There...

Sony E3 Conference

251d ago ... Sony The 2nd of the big 3 is up, and ready to flex it’s muscle, will it pick up where everyone except EA dropped the ball so far? Here we go. WTF a 10 minute delay for the show. A super long Montage. It shows a bunch of games, and everything looks great, but it was far to long. PSN Apology. Jack Trenton jokingly tells reporters you’re welcome for the controversy. He then goes on...

Ubisoft's E3 Conference

251d ago ... Ubisoft Rayman. Finally everyone has there 2D side scrolling Rayman with 4 player co-op. Driver San Francisco. If the trailer was gameplay then it looks good, but there were so many cuts, that it looked like an in-engine rendering. I’ve never played Driver personally, but living in San Francisco will help me evaluate the authenticity of this game. It seems to be taking the Burnout P...

EA's E3 Conference

251d ago ... Mass Effect 3. The game looks great, from what I could see all of the minor graphical problems and annoyances from the previous games, are gone. The new engine also brings, better textures, lighting, and effects showing a nice step up in therm of graphics. Mass Effect 3 also seems to be MUCH more action based, but they have to show these segments to keep the audience entertained, so we’ll ha...

Microsoft's E3 Conference

251d ago ... Modern Warfare 3 demo looked great, but I’m not a huge fan of Modern Warfare or similar games (I like FPS just not the Modern Warfare games), but I must admit this one has me interested. The game looks much better than any game in the franchise thus far, and the scale in the game is on a grander scale. I was impressed. Tomb Raider looked great, and I love the new survival direction they’re...

Who will "win E3" and who can.

264d ago ... Nintendo has the advantage this E3 with Project Cafe or whatever it's being called simply because no one has seen it, and no one truly knows it's specs., and what it's capable of. However, Nintendo doesn't have a completely safe ride through E3. If they don't show Project Cafe running games, or at least real time trailers, or give the consoles specs./ or if it's just a Wii HD, with a touch...

3DS The good, and the unknown

376d ago ... If you haven't read my blog on the NGP then make sure you do that as well, but let's talk about the 3DS. The 3DS is Nintendo's new Portable, and it's a DS with Gamecube graphics (maybe Wii) and 3D. With the announcement of the NGP and iPhone/tablet games getting 3rd party developer support like Epic and id Tech, the 3DS graphics don't seem as impressive as they were during their E3 announceme...

PlayStation Portable 2

382d ago ... Sony just announced the PSP2, current known as codename NGP (Next Gen Portable?). So if you missed it, then you suck at life. Excuse me, if you missed then I got you cover WITH ALL THE DETAILS. Alright here it is. First things first let’s get into the specs. A 5 inch OLED screen 960 x 544 (if you have an iPhone 4 that’s what this screen looks like), ARM Corte-A9 core (4 core CPU), SGX5...

3DS and PSP2 spec. guess

395d ago ... Well the 3DS specs. are rumored to have been released, and until an official word from Nintendo we'll have to take it with a grain of salt, but I'm pretty sure the specs are spot on. In case you haven't seen them here's the link. http://www.bestnintendo3dsgames.com/?p=39 Now I personally had already formed my opinion on what I felt each handheld was going to be pushing spec wise, and her...

If your game sucks, don't charge $60 bucks.

397d ago ... I honestly don't get this. First let me correct the title if your game isn't as good as let's say the established AAA titles or franchises in its genre don't charge people $60 for it, because more than likely we're going to buy the known game and only rent your game. But wait renting a game is good, because people actually played your game, and may want to buy it later. But honestly when y...

Best of the generation

405d ago ... Each Generation has a game that defines that generation, and after a discussion, I decided to ask gamers what was the best game for each generation of consoles. PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, Dreacast generation? PS1, N64, Sega Saturn generation? SNES, Sega Genesis generation? NES? PC 2000 - 2009 PC 1990 - 1999 PC 1980 - 1989 Before that (I'm not ancient)? No PS3, 360, Wii since the generati...

Amazon's "Console Buying Guide"

409d ago ... I just so happened to be on amazon.com looking for something to buy (lol I have nothing better to do a 1:00 am). But to the point. I came across a page that explains the pros and cons of each console called "Console Buying Guide". There are 6 videos each about 1:30 (1 minute and 30 seconds) long. Each video covers a different aspect of the consoles. 1- Overview 2- Controllers 3- Cost...

Microsoft needs to quit next gen

410d ago ... Hold up. Wait a minute. Before you get up in arms read the blog first. Now that you've calmed down somewhat, I recently read an article in a magazine about Microsoft and it's gaming division. The magazine pretty much says that Microsoft's gaming division made roughly 90% of it's money from game sales, licensing, and XBL. That's a huge percentage, and I feel if it's true Microsoft should...

GOTY Awards

425d ago ... Well I do this every year, because I don't agree with many of the choices the major websites pick, as it seems like they're trying to push certain games over others. So here's my GOTY awards. Best Action-Adventure Winner: God of War 3 Runner Up: Red Dead Redemption Honorable Mentions: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Bayonetta, Darksiders, God of War Ghost of Sparta, Metal Gear Solid...

The PS3 will be my most played system

469d ago ... The holiday and 2011 is already packed with games, and many more unannounced titles will be seeing the light of day next year. But after making a list of games I'm looking forward to I noticed the PS3 completely dominates every other system and category. Here's a list of everything I'm looking forward to. PS3 PlayStation Move Gran Turismo 5 Little Big Planet 2 Killzone 3 Infamous...

What to expect from the next generation of consoles (Sony)

471d ago ... Sony has been consistent making their consoles 8 - 10 times more powerful than the last, which makes this the easiest. But making a console that much more powerful will cost a lot of money, but unlike Microsoft and Nintendo, I don't expect the PS4 to launch in 2011 - 2012, but rather 2013 - 2014 which will drop production cost. So without further ado let's move on to the final console. C...

What to expect from the next generation of consoles (Nintendo)

472d ago ... Nintendo is sitting on top of the world right now. The Nintendo Wii was a huge success with the casual market, the Nintendo DS was a huge success with the casual market, and now their sitting high on mountains of money. Enter today. The Wii sales have dropped hard, and Nintendo is not going to let their momentum drop. It's almost time for a successor to the Wii. But will it be aimed for...

What to expect from the next generation of consoles (Microsoft)

472d ago ... As much as we're loving our current system(s), we need to let reality sit in, and get ready for the next set of consoles soon. The Xbox 360 launched in 2005 making it 5 years old (aka the average life cycle for a console), and next year's line up of games is looking pretty grim. Which leads me to believe their going to try and live off of 3rd party support and Kinect until their ready to sh...
