One of the most glaring holes in Nintendo‘s online shop platforms has always been the company’s inability to provide game makers with the opportunity to release post-launch content for their software. Finally, the company is making moves to respond to gamer and developer feedback and correct this gap. The Nintendo eShop for the 3DS is

Redbox, the omnipresent DVD rental kiosks that dot the landscape of the United States, made a couple of large announcements during their quarterly financial call. One is sure to disappoint users of the service, and the other should be making Netflix CEO Reed Hastings a bit nervous. First, for the bad news.  It seems that

Whether or not you have a love for photography, you’ve got to admire this terrific Nikon D3 costume created by Tyler Card. It’s got to be the most impressive costume we’ve seen, and it’s a perfect fit for geeks this Halloween. Card has clearly put a ton of effort into this costume, which he claims

We’re incredibly excited about Samsung’s new Galaxy Nexus — the first device to ship with the latest Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS — and as the site’s resident Brit, I’m delighted that we won’t have to wait until 2012 to get it in the U.K. According to Amazon’s U.K. site, where you can now pre-order

I’m a big fan of Halfbrick Studios’ iOS games, in particular those that feature the lovable Barry Steakfries. Age of Zombies is one of my favorite games on the iPad, but it’s followed closely behind by Halfbrick’s latest release, Jetpack Joyride. If you’re not familiar with the release, here’s a little excerpt from its App Store description,

It’s a rare occurrence when an Apple executive leaks one of the company’s upcoming products, especially when it comes from Steve Jobs himself. But in Walter Isaacson’s new Steve Jobs biography, it is revealed that Steve “finally cracked” the television set. The story has spawned a whole new round of Apple TV rumors in the past couple weeks,

In this weekly column, we’ll be selecting inexpensive, discarded titles from still playable consoles for your perusal. They may be games you’ve heard of and remember playing, or they may be games that have flown completely off of your radar. Just know that we love them and they’re available on the cheap. That’s a bonafide win/win situation. If

In the four minute clip above, Machinima chats with Irrational Games‘ Ken Levine about the two central characters in the upcoming BioShock Infinite, Booker Dewitt and Elizabeth. As the video rolls, fans will also hear from Troy Baker and Courtnee Draper, the voices behind Booker and Elizabeth. Early on in the video, Levine explains that one

Ever wonder what Nokia World actually looks like? You’ve probably seen our coverage of the new phones (if not check out our posts on the Lumia 710, Lumia 800, and Asha line), but have you seen the bush people that were walking around at Nokia’s party last night? How about the sign letting you know

As Rockstar has made Grand Theft Auto V official, but elected to hold any details close until they release the trailer, the internet has started a train of wild guessing at features and mechanics. We’ve decided to join the rush. Because there’s gold in them there hills!!! Here are four things we expect/want to see in

As a society of increasingly hardcore data users, there is one thing we seem to be obsessed about – streaming media. As such, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Netflix accounts for nearly one-third of the peak Internet bandwidth in North America. According to the 2011 Sandvine Internet Phenomena Report, the streaming movie service

How would you like to see the future of technology? Well, a future according to RIM at least. A set of videos said to be commissioned by the Waterloo-based company have appeared online, demonstrating how technology could potentially evolve and shape our future. At the rapid rate technology advances, would anyone really be surprised if

Loyal HP followers can rest easy: After a painstaking evaluation, and a look into alternatives, HP announced today that it plans to keep its Personal Systems Group (PSG) as part of the company. CEO Meg Whitman abandoned the proposal made by HP’s former CEO Leo Apotheker after the company conducted a strategic review, saying that

Emily brought you the news from earlier this week that Nokia officially launched the first two devices of the “Espoo Comeback Tour 2011, Sponsored by Microsoft.” The Lumia 800 and 710 Windows Phone handsets mark the global mobile giant’s official entree into the brave new version of a world they once dominated: Smartphone sales. We

Now that Sony has gotten total control over Sony Ericsson, what will it do next? Dump any and all featurephone initiatives, says Sony prez and CEO Sir Howard Stringer. The focus from here on out, he says, will be on smartphones. The logical assumption would be that Sony Ericsson will be all “Android ahoy!” since

It was just the other day when news hit about a working build of Ice Cream Sandwich being ported to the Nexus S, and while that’s all well and good, just seeing the many photos wasn’t enough. We wanted in on the action, too, because when we see a shiny new toy, we have to

The benefits for both Nintendo and the respective platforms appear obvious. Nintendo would make bookoo bucks on app purchases, and any Nintendo series, would add the legitimacy that the mobile app scene lacks. Let’s face it, as I’ve said before,  smartphones are killing mobile gaming. The games are just not very fun or engaging. Unfortunately,

Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games and Activision have released a new multiplayer gameplay video that highlights the latest new-to-Call of Duty feature: weapon progression. To give you a quick idea of what you can expect in the clip above, here’s a quote from Mark Rubin, Executive Producer at Infinity Ward: “We’ve basically given every weapon an experience

We’ve seen some impressive phones hit the scene over the past few weeks – iPhone 4S, Galaxy Nexus, Droid RAZR – but they have by and large been sans keyboard. Well, it looks like Motorola is set to shake up the status quo, as DroidLife has acquired some nice looking photos of a purported Droid

Later this year potential N9 owners will have another color option: white. The handset is currently available in black, blue, and pink in a few select countries, with no plans to release in the U.S. I had the opportunity to spend a little bit of time with the white N9 this afternoon, and snap a

Sony has announced, by way of the PlayStation Blog, two bundles for the PS Vita. They will sell for either the U.S. or Canada. “Either” being the operative word here, as each country has its own specific bundle to pre-order. Additionally, pre-ordering one of these bundles will let you pick up your PS Vita early.

At last the wraps have been taken off of the BlackBerry P’9981, the BlackBerry handset that was formerly known as the BlackBerry Bold R47 and BlackBerry Knight. First spotted back in September, no one was quite sure what to make of the odd BlackBerry with a keyboard unlike any we’d ever seen before.  A few

There’s a debate that frequently rages between Android and iOS users that sees fanboys arguing until they’re blue in the face: Who copied who? Android users will argue that a number of the new features in iOS 5 are taken straight out of Google’s mobile OS, such as over-the-air software updates, and a Notification Center

One of the new characters bound for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is Phoenix Wright. For those that don’t know who Phoenix Wright is, he’s the personality behind a line of investigation-based, crime-solving Nintendo DS titles (though there are games for other systems). If you’ve ever seen or experienced the franchise personally, then your first line of questioning

Did you catch “iGenius: How Steve Jobs Changed The World” on Discovery Channel recently? No? Well, don’t worry — there’s another special coming up, courtesy of PBS. The one-hour program — which will be the latest documentary about Jobs since his passing — will feature interviews with Jobs, as well as those from people who knew
