With Christmas fast approaching (really), it’s time for geeks to start planning how they’re going to decorate their tree.
Once you’ve decided on the tree itself, you’ll need to work out what to hang off it.

Yes, you could stay fairly traditional and use baubles and candies, but how about decorating the tree with miniature replicas of [...]

Right. I was not even done typing out the title of this post and I already knew that it is not going to make a lot of people happy. Indeed, the words “discipline” and “video game timer” are bound to grate on people’s nerves – including mine, on certain occasions. And [...]

Gamers know that Microsoft scored a “coup” of sorts by cornering the downloadable content for such hits as Grand Theft Auto IV and Fallout 3. The deal it struck with Rock Star Games and Bethesda is that DLCs for the two games will only be made available on the Xbox 360 — much to the [...]

Ever since music became a big thing in video games, I got hooked. Let’s just say that I have always been a frustrated musician, and with Guitar Hero and Rock Band giving people like me the chance to play at being a band member, I just couldn’t pass up the chance. Unfortunately for [...]

To say Killzone 2 is anticipated by Playstation 3 gamers is a huge understatement. The game has already acquired near mythic status after the cotnroversional E3 2005 trailer. Everyone wants to know if Guerrilla Games can actually deliver on the promise of the pre-rendered video it showed during E3.
Fortunately enough for GG, Killzone 2 [...]

Little Big Planet fans can now bring their own little Sackboy or Sackgirl home.
At the recently concluded Toy Fair in New York, Sony Computer Entertainment and Mezco Toyz the production of four inch action figures based on the iconic character/mascot of Little Big Planet will be made available in many selected store in North America. [...]

There’s no secret around the fact that the PS3 is destined to have a firmware update coming fairly soon. What is perhaps more of a mystery is exactly what this update will bring, the benefits, and sometimes of course, the disadvantages. Over at Game Trailers, a forum user has given details from his [...]

It was bound to happen.
With Sony now enjoying the fact that blu-ray won the format wars and with the sales of the Playstation 3 and the PSP beginning to plateau, it was a natural progression for the company to find ways help synergize all of its products to help one another.
So it comes as no [...]

The hotly anticipated demo for Capcom’s Resident Evil 5 is now out for both the Xbox 360 and the PS3. Actually, the demo was first released on the Xbox 360 a week ago and Playstation 3 owners just got the demo this week. Nevertheless, the anticipation for the game is so great that I am [...]

I finally took Playstation Home for a spin last night.
My first impression of Home was not that great. Even though the initial loading time was bearable, connecting to it was a hassle. I got connection errors the first two times I attempted to log on and when I finally did, I had to wait [...]

The Playstation 3’s Home is probably the most anticipated add-on for the console this year. After delays suffered early this year, Sony had said that Home’s open beta will finally be released by fall 2008. But with December about to end, speculations about its release are again bubbling forth.
If we’re to believe the Times of [...]

I finally got a guitar bundle of Guitar Hero World Tour. My excitement was tempered by the fact that it’s a Region 4 release. What this means is that I won’t be able to buy any kind of downloadable content from the US Playstation store.
Apparently, DLC’s are region-specific, so if you have a region [...]

The addition of the trophy system for the Playstation 3, though a little belated, was still a welcome development. The trophies, just like the achievements of the Xbox 360, gave an added dimension to playing games.
Unfortunately, the implementation of the trophies has been quite erratic. Some games retroactively implemented it (GTAIV, Drake’s Fortune), while others [...]

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has recalled all copies of its much-anticipated title Little Big Planet from retailers after it discovered that the game’s soundtrack contains lines taken from the Islamic holy book Qu’ran. And kids, the recall is going to be global.
Based on the information taken from the Playstation forum, the two phrases literally translate [...]
