Kinection Error: Don’t Move! Sony and Microsoft fall flat at E3
Despite impressive tech demos at last year’s E3, Microsoft’s recently re-branded “Kinect” and Sony’s Playstation Move controller felt more dated than the “underpowered” Nintendo console they are trying to out-motion. What do we mean by dated? Obviously this has nothing to do with graphical capability or processing power ”“ something on which both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 ...

An open letter to Nintendo regarding Sony PlayStation Home
Dear Nintendo, Hi. Jack Here. How are you? I’m feeling pretty super myself. Quick little thing. I know how you and online don’t exactly see eye-to-eye right now. And Friend Codes. *whistle* Yeah, Friend Codes. Don’t get me started on those.

Comment of the week: Wii satisfaction
Lord Toker, on if Wii hit a homerun or if Microsoft and Sony vulnerabilities make Nintendo look better than it really is. “Just because Sony and Microsoft are having problems doesn’t mean the Wii wouldn’t have been a success.

Although that could be an unfair claim, we still don’t know exactly what this “Touchscreen Hand Held” can do… but we can only imagine. What surprises me even more is the f...
Video Games Live: The Wolf in Sheep’s clothing

This concert was started by Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall, who are both composers in the world of game design. Since this show was stopping in New York City at the Beacon Theater, I just had to go out and see this, seeing as everyone is talking about it. This seemed to be the pe...
