3D Dot Game Heroes: 8 Bit Old School Games Rebooted

Posted: October 26th, 2009, 9:05pm PDT

3D Dot Game Heroes is an RPG game for the Playstation 3 which is due out on November 5th in Japan. This title which is designed by From Software takes place in a classic retro gaming RPG kingdom whose king declares that his world should be in 3D to celebrate the defeat of a demon lord. What I love about this title is that it pays tribute to old school videogames while breaking the third wall of the medium by incorporating the medium of the medium into the plot of the game: Here are some
Star Trek and Ghostbusters MADE me get a Playstation 3

Posted: October 15th, 2009, 6:09pm PDT

I think console companies (and I’m sure they already know this) can’t downplay the role that game titles play in deciding which game console to go with. Back when I was youngun we only had two systems, Sega and Nintendo and it seemed that Sega had a huge foot hold here in Australia, just mention Alex Kidd here and people of a certain age bracket (except my wife) will glaze over with happy memories and then want to Rock Paper Scissors with you. So I think that it wasn’t really much of a decisi
PS Home styled rooms coming to the Xbox 360? – No

The big news around the Internet today is that it is rumoured that Microsoft are looking at bringing a PlayStation Home like interface to the Xbox 360. The rumour has sprouted from a survey being conducted at the moment which amongst other things asks people to choose a name for a classic gaming space with names such as AvatArcade, RetroCade, Games Room and the all dominating Tower of ROM being offered. The idea of a PS Home hybrid being shoe horned into the Xbox 360 horrifies me, PS Ho
Survey Suggests Xbox 360 Retro Arcade On The Way

Looks like Microsoft might be following in the footsteps of PlayStation Home, with a recently leaked survey suggesting that a virtual Avatar arcade is on the way to the Xbox 360 (via Joystiq ). As you might have guessed, it would be like Home's arcade spaces, only with Avatars. Names that are being tossed around include "Game Room," "RetroCade," "Tower of ROM" and "Classics Live." If the screenshots are any indication, we can expect plenty of classic Atari arcade games in this "Tower of ROM,"

Star Wars Frage des Tages: Wieviele Konsolen haben in R2D2 Platz? [PS3, PSP, Retro, Wii, Xbox 360]

Wie könnte man alte Konsolen besser “verstauen”, als in einem R2D2-Kühlschrank ? Ein Modder hat sich die Arbeit angetan und in unser aller Lieblingsroboter R2D2 neben eines Projektors satte 8 Konsolen ver- bzw. eingebaut. Auf dem Bild erkenne ich Mega Drive, DreamCast, PlayStation, NES sowie SNES, Nintendo 64 und, wenn ich nicht irre, sogar eine Xbox. Allesamt fachmännisch eingebaut und dank des integrierten Beamers jederzeit startklar. R2D2 als “Konsolenhub”? Viel nerdiger gehts n

Retro gaming all under one, portable roof: GP2X Wiz

The ever increasingly powerful gaming consoles such as the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 have given gamers the ability of near photorealistic games that truly place you in the action. Some games are so graphically intense and beautiful, you may have to at times pinch yourself to make sure you really aren’t in the game. Games have come quite a ways from their humble days not so long ago when the bleeding edge of gaming was measured in bits. While modern games and all of the graphical eye candy ar
Guest blog: Why games will lead 3D tech into our homes

Posted: September 4th, 2009, 4:59am PDT

Andrew Oliver is CEO of the UK's Blitz Games, developer of the world's first fully stereoscopic 3D game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Most people tend to see 3D as a bit tacky. A bit '60s. A bit faddy. Actually the first 3D film came out in 1922, and the technology is far from new. And yes, there was a resurgence (of a sort) in the '50s and '60s but most people are simply unaware of the recent phenomenal improvements in 3D technology. In fact, one of the biggest problems we're coming acros
