E3 Game On: Playstation, Wii, And The Xbox 360
With the E3 Media and Business Summit in full swing this week, I thought I’d throw my $.02 in on the announcements by the big three gaming companies: Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony. One of them was making some noise, the others, not so much. Read more
10 Reasons Why Nintendo Is The New Apple
After watching Nintendo’s success as of late I came to a realization; Nintendo is becoming the new Apple. Ten reasons why I think so after the jump.
Soapbox: WoW Stats, Netflix and Media Center, and Apple
Soapbox is a regular feature where I sound off on various tech topics/products that I’m interested in (or hate). This is just my $.02, so consider yourself warned. This week’s subjects are World of Warcraft, Netflix and Microsoft, and Apple’s marketing are all on the hot seat. Read more
Paul’s Soapbox: DRM, 3G, Playstation Home
Paul’s Soapbox is a regular feature of TechConsumer where I sound off on various tech topics/products that I’m interested in (or hate). This is just my $.02, so consider yourself warned. This week’s subjects are all over the place: DRM, “3G” Wireless, and Playstation Home.
How [Not] To Fix PC Gaming
ExtremeTech has an article out today on “How To Fix PC Gaming Once and for All” that caught my eye. I may not exactly be a fan of PC gaming as it stands now, and although the author makes a lot of valid points (fix piracy problem, more PC gaming companies should vocally advocate the platform, and stop being fanboys), one of his suggestions is simple ridiculous: “OEMs: Stop Using Intel Onboard Graphics.”
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard PC gaming advocates denounce Intel’s graphics chipsets. Truth be told, they are probably just about the worst chips for 3D games out there. But does that really mean there is no place in the PC market place for adequate 2D graphics chips?
The $100 PS3 Game: Gran Turismo 5
When Sony announced that Gran Turismo 5 Prologue would be available for $40 in April, I couldn’t help but have a knee-jerk reaction. How could Sony get away with charging $40 for GT5 Reduced Lite Junior Prologue when the full version would sell for only $20 more? Here’s how, the word is out today that the full blown version of Gran Turismo won’t be out for another year! Is this a new business model for delayed games or just Sony trying to satiate the rabid Gran Turismo fans?
