A few days ago Major Nelson announced on his blog that the Xbox Live service was going to be discontinued for Xbox Originals. This change will take effect on April 15th, 2010 so there is still time to play your favorite Xbox games like Halo 2 before their online support is forever taken away.
Sometimes it's easy to forget that video game companies are big corporations with shareholders and that people's livelihood may depend on the success of a new video game. Once a company gets its hands on a profitable game, it's only natural for them to put out sequels to keep the franchise going. THQ continues to be in such a position.Sometimes it's easy to forget that video game companies are big corporations with... more
Gamervision got an exclusive look at this uncut version of the original Mass Effect 2 sex scene between Shepard and Miranda. This is the scene that would have wound up in the game, but EA was trying to maintain "M" rating, rather than the "AO" that the ESRB would have stamped on Mass Effect 2 had this scene stayed in the game as is. This footage has found its way from the cutting room floor and into our recently-very-hairy hands. Seriously, try to not touch yourselves while you watch this. I know I c...

In part 1 of this 3 part series, I surveyed 52 local Rochester area gamers asking them which Halo game was their favorite out of the series. A full 26 (50%) of them answered that the original Halo: Combat Evolved was their favorite game. 17 (33%) responded that it's sequel, Halo 2, was their favorite from the franchise. Only 9 (17%) claimed Halo 3 to be the best.
Mass Effect 2 is easily one of the best games of the generation, blowing away its predecessor in just about every way, and removing the "flawed" attachment to the "masterpiece" title. It is, at its core, an RPG experience, though the changes to the combat engine definitely make it play more like a traditional third-person shooter at times, and that isn't at all a bad thing. The universe created in the original Mass Effect has been nearly perfected this time around, further propelling the series ahead of the pack, and setting a bar for interactive storytelling that will likely not be matched for years to come.Read the full text review at:... more
This week our heroes, Dominic Moschitti, Paul Ritchey and Nick Murphy, battle happy robot washing machines, seek insight from horses, and celebrate at McRonalds. Seriously. That's not a typo. That's what this game is about.
Every week on Continue?, we sit people down to play a random old school game for 45 minutes. We're talking NES, SNES, Genesis old here. There is one question we are trying to answer - do we want to stop playing or continue?

Only 9 (17%) claimed Halo 3 to be the best. Nobody responded that the latest addition of ODST was their favorite. So why was there such a steady decline in favorites as more Halo games were released when one would expect it to be the opposite?
Halo is one of the best selling and most beloved first person shooter franchises of all time. But do these games sell well because they are incredibly well made or simply because fans are who are accustomed to playing Halo games buy them.

For those of you who shop online, you might be interested to know that there is a cheaper and more fun way of buying the things you only wish you had the money to buy. Here's your chance. Penny auctions are the new way to buy brand new products at 50% off as well as all the way up to 95%. Sound too good to be true?
Honestly, I thought it to be just another scam until I started to do the research. Penny auctions work through a few simple principles:
For those who may be unfamiliar with auctions, the way it works is after finding the item you wish to purchase, you and others will take turns bidding. The difference between normal in-person auctions and penny auctions, such as CheapOh.net, is that bids are sold for $0.50 a bid in bid packs that are sold from 10 bids for 5$ to 1000 bids for $500.
After your bids are credited to your account you will use these bids to bid on an auction. (They work as credits). Once the item is put up for auction, the bidding price starts at $0.00. When you use a bid on an auction this will drive the price of the auction up by $0.01 and increase the countdown timer by 10 seconds. The person with the last/highest bid on the auction when the countdown timer gets to 0 wins the auction. Once the auction is won, the winner will pay what the final price of the auction. (Usually save between 50-95% off MSRP).
CheapOh! is an upcoming site with a lot of promise. They officially started Beta testing today by auctioning off 3 Visa gift cards of different values. In the future, items sold will range from Products from Apple, Microsoft, Nikon, Sony, ect. Registration is open for users to buy bids now so that when these products are available, users can jump right in with bidding.
Other promising news with CheapOh! is that on the 15th of every month CheapOh! will donate all profits made off of every auction won on that day to the Red Cross.

Statistics released by US market research firm Nielsen illustrate the increasing size and importance of the female console game playing audience.
52 percent of US PSP owners are female, as are 49 percent of Wii owners, according to Nielsen. 45 percent of active gamers (defined as users who play at least one hour per week) are also female.
A September 2009 survey by fellow market research company the NPD Group found that 44 per cent of US-based current generation console users were female.
Nielsen also said that 73 percent of US households own a device they specifically use for gaming. 54 percent own either a home game console or handheld system.
The results show a shift in usage from Nielsen data released in April of last year when the PS2 still reigned supreme thanks to its massive installed base.Statistics released by US market research firm Nielsen illustrate the increasing size... more

A quanto pare un paziente olandese di un ospedale psichiatrico di Sophia ha provocato volontariamente un blackout, gettando il panico nella struttura per più di un'ora.
Una volta risolto il problema, la polizia ha interrogato il soggetto che ha affermato non solo di essersi ispirato alla famosa saga videoludica horror Silent Hill ma voleva inoltre omaggiare gli appassionati della serie, dando la possibilità di risolvere "l'enigma" del blackout attraverso la risoluzione di un rompicapo con uno slino da denti.
