Say Goodbye To Split-Screen Multiplayer

Sony announced a new technology at their E3 conference. A “PlayStation” branded 3D display that has the ability to display to separate images simultaneously at full screen. So multiplayer games will no longer suffer from the cropped up images and each player having just half the screen.

This 24″ display comes with a copy of Resistance 3, a pair of glasses (second set will cost $69) and a HDMI cable. All this for $500.

Announcements Week

There are 2 major expos taking place this week. WWDC, Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference will kick-off later today with Steve Jobs taking the stage and will announce a few things:

• iOS 5

What I hope he will announce:

• Macbook Air i3/i5 upgrade.
• Mac Mini i3/i5 upgrade.
• Apple TV A5 chip upgrade and the ability to run apps.

L. A. Noire

This PS3/XBOX360 game is getting really good reviews. Too bad its not available on the PC (yet) I would have loved to just download my copy instantly.

Portal 2: Best Game I’ve Played in A Long Time

Portal 2 is a First Person/Puzzle Platform video game that is hugely addictive and fun to play. It is the sequel to the very popular Portal game that was released back in 2007. Its a nice change from the regular FPS’s and other action games.

The game is available on PC,PS3 and XBOX 360. I managed to complete the single player campaign in a couple of days but there is still the multiplayer to waste more hours on.

Battlefield 3 Full Length Trailer

For those of you who weren’t paying attention to EA releasing a Battlefield 3 trailer every couple of weeks. They just released a full length gameplay trailer (12 mins) showcasing Dice’s upcoming first-person-shooter.

The graphics are stunning but the AI has a long way to go before it can be interesting. Release is still far off as its scheduled for a November release.

FPS Mario

This is what Mario would look like if it was a sweet next-gen first person shooter!

The Most Disturbing Game Trailer Released

The recently released trailer of Dead Island is the most twisted trailer I’ve seen in a long time. Especially for gaming. The game is going to be an open world game played from a first person perspective with some RPG elements. The game is scheduled to be released later this year.

A Historic Grammy For Gaming

I’ve been real busy so this might be old news for some bust I still thought I should post about it.

A few months ago, Christopher Tin made headlines when his song “Baba Yetu” that was originally written for the game Civilization IV, was nominated for a Grammy. It was the first ever music that was originally written for a game to be nominated.

Earlier this week, Baba Yetu won in the “Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s)” category.  I hope this is just the beginning. as we all know how wonderful gaming music really is.

Yes , This is an Actual Product

One question, WHY?!
First I thought it was a parody video but then I found a few reviews on youtube.

“Trash Talk”? this is how you market your product?
