That’s noon for folks on the eastern seaboard and...
Overview 2011 was an incredible year for gaming software. The industry’s titans, both indie and corporate, got together and collectively created a slew of unbelievable software that pushed the boundaries of interactive entertainment out on all sides. Two pieces of brand new gaming hardware also hit the market, albeit one did so only in the Asian part of the world. The Nintendo 3DS...
MCV is reporting that Microsoft and Sony both plan to bring the PlayStation 4 (we assume they're calling it that) and the Xbox 720 (we hope they avoid calling it that) to the E3 expo in June of 2012. We must say that MCV doesn't make too much effort to link these two assumptions to any type of source from either company involved in their assertion. They simply state that both new...
If you’re a PlayStation guy like myself, you’ll have experienced that painfully long wait between Call of Duty map packs launching on the Xbox 360, and the same map packs launching a month later on the PS3. It’s okay, then, for titles to launch exclusively on the Xbox for a limited period, but launching your game on Sony’s platform first could get it banned completely from the Xbox....
If you’re yet to try 3D gaming on the PlayStation 3, I highly recommend it. It takes a little while to get used to, and you have to wear those big, unsightly glasses, but Black Ops is certainly better when tomahawks look like they’re really coming towards you.

By the time you read this, I would have ideally survived the chaotic hell that is San Diego Comic-Con, exhausted from its 150,000 attendees draining the life out of my soul. It is like E3, CES, and PAX rolled into a smelly tube sock. It's not my scene. It is a remarkable experience, though. You like comics? You like freebies? You like celebrities working with comics and handing out...
When it comes to motion control, and we can all thank Nintendo’s Wii for this split, the typical software and the typical gamers are often considered casual. With Nintendo‘s system, at least, core gamers buying the product were automatically buying into the control method. While the Wii attracted a slew of casual gamers, the lot of core supporters picked up on it too. With the Kinect...
Irrational Games has been given the honor of Best in Show for E3 2011 with BioShock Infinite. The eyes-on demo played to a constant stream of critics throughout the week and managed to wow and thrill everyone in succession. The award was voted upon, along with several other categories, and given out by the Game Critics Awards panel. The panel of judges are collected from the largest...
Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto spoke with MTV Multiplayer about the online portion of their next console, the Wii U. Before explaining that Internet connectivity does matter for the company, Miyamoto, likely inadvertently, shed light on why the Nintendo Wii delivered such a lackluster online experience. This is Miyamoto speaking about Nintendo's perspective when it comes to online gaming...
Nintendo's famous Shigeru Miyamoto spoke with GameSpot about the Wii U, it's CPU and GPU and how the company is working to get the most out of those portions of the console while keeping the price in check. Nintendo has always been an entertainment company that's focused on appealing to all age groups while presenting a fiscally reasonable product. Miyamoto has indicated that the...
