Sony filed for a patent in December of 2004 covering what appears to be a wand similar to the Revolution controller.Abstract: An input device for interfacing with a computing device is provided. The input device includes a body configured to be held within a human hand. The input device includes a light emitting diode (LED) affixed to the body and a power supply for the LED. A mode change

I love Resident Evil. I'm a huge fan of the series. Especially Resident Evil 4 and the Resident Evil remake for the cube. But I've yet to play the original Resident Evil on the PlayStation.That is why I'm happy to hear they are porting the original version to the Nintendo DS, called Resident Evil: Deadly Silence. Well, porting isn't the right word, as they are adding new elements to the game

Did you know that the average game player is 30 years old and has been playing games for 9.5 year? I bet there are a lot of things about the video game industry you don't know. If that's the case, I highly recommend you read ESA's 2005 Essential Facts About the Computer and Video Game Industry. It's quite extensive, covering everything from demographics to money generated to units sold.

Smith and I saw Dave Chappelle in The No saturday night. He did stand up for two hours. His set was only supposed to be for an hour. But people kept yelling random things, and he would play off of it. Basically, the second hour was him improving. He even admitted at one point that he was supposed to be done "fifteen minutes ago," and then continued for another forty five. Said he was having

I saw the Nine Inch Nails last night. What a show.Darkside and I arrived at the arena two hours before the concert started. We got a great spot near the left side of the stage, only five or so people back. And there we watched the opening act (have no idea who they were) and then Queens of the Stone Age. QOTSA put on a great show. Hadn't really heard their music before, but they impressed me

I found this editorial, Why Nintendo Gets It, or Why Sony Should Start Trying by Shawn Rider, while doing a news.google search for "Nintendo." I like the way this writer thinks: "Compared to the Revolution, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are simply expensive upgrades to existing platforms."Reading through various forums on the net, I've noticed numerous people have had similar reactions to the

According to Jim Merrick, Nintendo Europe's senior director of marketing, yes."We're producing a classic-style expansion controller, based on traditional designs like the Gamecube controller. It's like a shell with a hole in the top into which you slot the freehand-style controller, and then you can play third-party ported games, and retro Nintendo games you've downloaded."Source

The Revolution Controller is the shiznit!!I've created a theoretical little game in my head, based on Star Wars, that takes advantage of the new possibilities the Revolution controller has to offer. I call it, "Dinner with Vader."You play the role of Darth Vader. You see from his perspective. The game starts with you sitting at a long dinner table facing a door on the other end of the room.

Is this the first legit pic concerning the Revolution? Nintendo will unveil information about the Revolution on Friday in Japan, or Thursday night in the U.S. That's what I heard.

The rumor is Nintendo is finally going to pony up details about the Revolution this weekend at the Tokyo Game Show. Something that Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony fans alike have been waiting for.Nintendo has revealed close to nothing about the Revolution. We know nothing about the controller, which is supposed to be different and will "revolutionize" gaming. We know nothing about graphic

Though not as small (and perhaps not quite as sexy) as the iPod Nano, the Nintendo Game Boy Micro is sure to turn a few heads.Nintendo released the reduced sized handheld in Japan this past week. They have yet to release official numbers, but the product has apparently sold better than originally expected. However, sales did not do as well as the GBA-SP. But how could it? The GBA line has

The dim-witted dwarf in the Terry Gilliam film Time Bandits spoke of "the most fabulous object in the world." I'm now convinced he was speaking of the Apple iPod Nano.A good friend of mine purchased one, giving me the opportunity to see the Nano up close and personal. How do the good folks of Apple do it? How are they able to make an inanimate object so sleek and so sexy that many of us

When I purchased Halo 2 a week ago, the store clerk at Gamestop asked if I wanted to pre-order an Xbox 360. I said no, as that was my honest opinion. He asked, "Are you sure? If you want one before the end of the year, you'll have to pre-order." I told him no thanks and that I was planning on waiting.But having played Halo 2 for the past week, my interest in the 360 has peaked. I kinda want

I finally picked up Halo 2 for the Xbox (at a reduced price.) Even though I couldn't stand the first one, Halo 2 offers something that Halo 1 does not. Online play. Up until this point, I have been less than satisfied with Xbox Live. Mostly because kids are more or less cussing you out the whole time. I can't tell you how many times I've heard the word "gay."But for some reason, people don't

IGN.com presents the Top Ten Console Controller Innovations of all time. It's a pretty good list. In fact, you can thank Nintendo for the top six. Reading this list gives me confidence that Nintendo might actually know what they are doing with the mysterious and much hyped Revolution controller.

I picked up the Resurrection of Evil expansion pack for Doom 3 last week. Doom scares that sheeit out of me. Especially at night, in the dark, with headphones on.I don't really care much for the FPS genre. I play maybe 3 of them a year. And usually, there is some other quality to these particular FPS games, besides the action, that attracts me to them.In Doom's case, it's the environments.

Zelda: The Twilight Princess has been pushed back into 2006. Nutz to that! On the otherhand, developers are saying they are using this time to add an extra layer of polish and to add new levels. The trade off is a longer wait for a better Zelda. I can dig it.Other news, the Nintendo DS is dropping $20 in price to $129.99 on Aug. 21. Just in time for Nintendogs and Advance Wars Dual Strike.

You know all those games you purchased for your Xbox? Good news, you'll be able to play (some of) them on your 360. According to Microsoft, "Xbox 360 will be backward compatible with the top-selling games on Xbox."What does that mean? Well, I guess it means Halo and Halo 2 will work.

Right now in the gaming world, the main event is Sony Vs. Microsoft. The Xbox 360 will support Toshiba's HD-DVD format, eventually. The Playstation 3 will use Sony's Blu-Ray technology.

I have come to the conclusion that my favorite console this generation was the Gamecube, by far. And I wanted to share with you the games that helped me reach this decision. All of them are exclusive to the system, except for Resident Evil 4, when it comes out later this year for the PS2. But from what I hear, it's going to be a bit watered down, as the cube is actually more powerful than the

The Classic Gaming Expo is being held August 20 and 21 in San Francisco. This is a wonderful opportunity to play games of old and rub elbows with the legendary designers that made it all possible. Some of the people expected to be there are David Crane (pitfall), Don Bluth (Dragon's Layer), Nolan Bushnell (Atari), etc... If designers aren't enough, you can see bands like The Minibosses perform

Watched Big Trouble in Little China last night for the first time in ages.Director John Carpenter is either a two-bit hack, or a brilliant filmmaker. The movie is so cheesy, filled with bad dialog and even worse acting. And to quote Maude Lebowski, "The plot is absolutely ludicrous." But somehow, Carpenter manages to polish a turd. It's sooo bad, it's good. At times, I honestly couldn't tell

"Can I have a sip of your haaawt coffee? Oooo!"Slashdot pointed me to an editorial at GamerDad that pretty much sums up how I feel about Grand Theft Auto:Hot Coffee.The rating was printed right on the box. The content of the game is fairly obvious from the box copy printed on the front and back of this same box. Even before the "Hot Coffee" content was discovered, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas,

(stolen from gamespy)Yes, there is now a Dungeons & Dragons for Dummies. But according to Fargo at Gamespy, it's "This isn't D&D for Dummies! This is more like D&D for intelligent, literate people who want to examine and explore the various ins and outs of this exciting and dynamic creative social activity." And then he shared his vision of a proper dummies guide.I miss playing D&D. I

The arcade is dead, but the cabinet artwork lives on, thanks to the Arcade Art Library. I haven't seen some of these machines in probably 15 - 20 years. Sure takes me back. And I have to say, some of these designs are just damn sexy.I personally want to thank all the video game preservationists out there. You guys are the r0x0r!!

(Bad News Bears, 1976)The original Bad News Bears is funny. The Billy Bob Thorton remake is not. I had a few mild chuckles, at best. I'm kinda disappointed. I'm not a fan of Mr. Thorton, but I figured if there was anyone who could pull off the role of Buttermaker, it would be him. And I don't think he is completely to blame. The kids in the original could actually act.I give this movie 5

Today, I start the Sacred Heart Diet...This 7-day eating plan can be used as often as you like. If correctly followed, it will clean out your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. After only 7 days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 pounds and possibly 17 pounds, and experience an abundance of energy.I know three people who are in the process of

Sooo, I started this blog about a week ago. Haven't figured out what it's supposed to be about quite yet. I think a slight focus in video games is obvious at this time. What about other things? I'm not sure. I could make this site more personal. Talk about my cats, what flavor of ice cream I tried today, or how a I went swimming yesterday. That would definitely play up the boring angle

Originally Published May 19, 2005I watched G4's live coverage last night. And I had some thoughts on the matter. The PS3 and 360 really do have some great looking graphics. The Revolution is still up in the air, but guaranteed to look better than the cube.From what I can tell, Sony's demo also included pre-rendered footage. And since they had no PS3 games on the floor, all you had to rely on was

Capcom has recently announced Resident Evil 5 for the 360 and PS3. No word on the revolution, yet. IGN is currently hosting a short one minute video. Can't be sure if the footage is real time or not. My guess it's prerendered.Resident Evil 4, imho, is the best game released so far this generation. Quite an accomlishment considering all the great games that have been released over the past

ESRB has revoked M rating status from GTA: San Andreas. I won't bore you with the details, as this info has been sufficiently saturated by the mainstream news media.What I will say is how boring the game is. I genuinely liked GTA 3 and Vice City. And I think in many ways, San Andreas has improved the gaming engine. But there comes a time when one loses the taste for the same repetitive ultra

The first entry of just about every blog I've ever read has been mostly pointless. This will be no exception. Creating this account sorta on a whim. "Game Under" is sooo not clever. Or is it? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
