According to the latest issue of GamePro, Killzone 3 will be fully in 3D, at least if you have the hertz for it. Props to them for taking the bull by the horns; let’s hope it’s less of a sham than that last Killzone media frenzy. I’ve heard it said that games are the only worthwhile application for 3D — that’s a statement that I don’t agree with, but perhaps Killzone 3 may be a good example of just how good 3D can be.
Google’s Google TV announcement might be making a lot of buzz in the news today, but it isn’t the only interesting TV announcement to make it across the wire. Roundtable Concepts has announced their new series of Officially Licensed Capcom Street Fighter IV’ HDTV’s.
You’ll recall the ODROID as a phone-less Android device built for gaming. There’s an 833MHz CPU, 512MB of RAM, 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and HDMI output capable of pushing 720p video to a TV screen.
Good news, people who play Modern Warfare 2 online multi-player. It seems Infinity Ward has fixed the dreaded “javelin exploit” that has plagued multi-player matches since the game’s launch.
This patch is for the Xbox 360 version (the PC and PS3 versions have already been patched), and brings the game up to version 1.06.
As a refresher, here’s the javelin exploit, complete with Benny Hill music. Can we let that song die already?

Still shopping around for your next gaming mouse? There are so many choices these days with new options from Logitech, Steelseries, Razer, and some companies I probably forgot. But Cyber Snipa has a new gaming mouse too and it looks worth your time.
Modern Warfare 2, now censored in Japan. The game, which Square Enix publishes tomorrow, changes the way the level “No Russian” works. Here, killing civilians is a no-no.
The Famitsu [JP], Japan’s (and probably the world’s) most important video game magazine, awarded New Super Mario Bros. for the Wii with a perfect 40/40 rating just last month. It was only the 13th game to receive that score (4 editors giving 10 out of 10 points), and many people believed Final Fantasy XIII for PS3 would follow today. But that didn’t happen.
Fans of the Legend of Zelda games who happen to leave the house once in awhile don’t need to be told that today marks the newest installment of portable Zelda games, as The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks hits store shelves for the Nintendo DS and DSi for $34.99.
This may be the first holiday season in a long time that Sony is looking forward to. Some 440,000 PS3s were sold last week (compared to 550,000 Nintendo Wiis), and Sony says demand for the system was at “an all-time high.” Good thing for that price cut and re-design, right?
In your face, parents all over the world. After pleading with your children to quit rotting their brains with non-stop video game playing, your suggestion of playing a board game instead has backfired on you with the Nintendo edition of Monopoly.
With the release of Modern Warfare 2, the Call of Duty franchise has surpassed the $3 billion mark in worldwide sales. Netting over $550 million in its first five days, Modern Warfare 2 smashed all previous box office records and is now the benchmark for future releases.
Last Tuesday, Xbox announced that it would integrate Twitter, Facebook, Zune video compatibility, and Last.fm into its Live services. The software update was free, and has thus far been a success. We recently reported that over 2 million Xbox live subscribers used the Facebook feature from their consoles in the first week.
Video game online network Machinima.com has raised $1.7 million in funding from previous backer MK Capital. According to reports, this is being considered an add-on to Machinima’s previous round in November, with the possibility of upping the amount to $2.5 million if needed.
You’ll find that opinions vary with respect to Tekken 6’s netcode. I didn’t run into too many problems, but others certainly have. What are you going to do, right? Come November 26, you can, I don’t know, apply the update that will hopefully clear up some of those glitches. So that’s what you can do.
I love my X-Box. What X-Box owner doesn’t right? I’ve never ever had an issue with its design. Its curved look is cool but of course if you’re an audiophile whose home is loaded with AV equipment, the X-Box tends to stand out, and as good as it looks, a little like a sore thumb. With sleek, metallic, edged components like an amplifier and a DVD player the Xbox is a little too casual, like a guy in denims at a Black Tie affair.
The folks at Atari have finally got something for the species of gamers who cannot keep their hands idle too long. So when you wait for the client’s reply on a certain official mail, that seems to take ages coming, simply head to Atari’s website and enjoy some cool games.
Japan’s biggest gaming magazine, the Famitsu [JP], has given Nintendo’s newest Mario game New Super Mario Bros. the highest honor in the latest issue. All four editors who tested the game gave 10 points out of 10, resulting in a perfect 40/40 score.
Back in October, Datel promised it would "remedy" the situation created by Microsoft's forthcoming (now present) Dashboard update locking out its higher capacity memory modules. The accessory company was the first (and only) third-party supplier of memory cards for the Xbox 360,
This is not a game that can be simply explained. How does it begin? It begins in six completely different ways, and each of these can be met with a wildly different approach. An excellent portion of the game to relate would be to relate the adventures in the dwarven city of Orzammar, except there's little chance that you will experience the same events in the same way when you get there.
