There are a lot of things that a lot of people ask me. Some of which is vastly weird. Others, it’s legitimate. I just have to say something here and now so readers don’t mix up facts with opinion. I’ve only read 12 news articles on the next gen Xbox. That’s all. I haven’t really …

This is Capri from the makers of Microsoft’s Kinect. Despite the very Skynet-vibe I got from it (if you have ever been to Universal Studios, Hollywood, you might know what I mean) this is only the best thing ever. As you can see from the video, it’s also being aimed at more than just video …

I’ve dabbled on this topic before, but after seeing Les Miserables, the entire subject has become a bit more fresh in my mind. Modern musicals are very story driven, which to some would mean they are a perfect fit for the video game genre. To others like me though, the musical really lacks that important …

Not going to lie: new gaming technology excites me. I’m an early adopter of the Nintendo consoles like the Wii and Wii U mainly because I want to see what new experiences can be made with their new tech. I desperately want the Kinect to succeed with it’s motions controls as well, but something keeps …

So I have been watching a lot of Psych lately, the comedic-detective show where the lead is fake psychic detective who uses his hyper-attentiveness and deductive reasoning to fool both the Santa Barbara police department and criminals alike. It’s a great show that has me on the edge of my seat as I try and …

Here’s a fun video of Gary’s Mod, but with the players using Kinect to control the ragdolls. The result is some not-surprisingly smoother animations and tons of fun.

Pach-Attack! This is a pretty good episode of Pach-Attack. So let’s break it down. 1) Why aren’t more PC games on Blu-Ray. This was the reason Nintendo didn’t adopt an HD console until now, because back then HD tvs weren’t common place. Now they are so the Wii U makes sense. I don’t think …

And now the dreams of many Harry Potter fanfics has finally come true. Now everyone can fulfill their fantasies of replacing all the main character from the Harry Potter movies/books. At least it’s taking the license a bit more seriously than Star Wars Kinect.

Trailers like this confuse me. For one, it reveals very little of what the gameplay might even conceivably be like. Is it going to be on rails? Are you going to actually be learning “techniques” or is it going to be basically dance central but with kung fu movies (which by the way, would be …

If you’ve ever played Dragon’s Lair, you know that this game is one of constant trial and error. I’ve never actually beaten it but for a while, it was completely addicting (I had it on the DSi). Of course, it’s all just moving the control stick (or D-pad) in the right direction or pushing a …

This is a good example of video games begin to leave the realm of emulation, and enter into the domain of creation. If there is one thing that video games haven’t been very good at, is being a tool for creating art that couldn’t be done else where. Even games like Minecraft, that lets player …

We saw stuff like this as a result from the internal Bethesda game jam and I have to say..it’s kind of silly. I guess some of the ally commands might be useful but Skyrim didn’t seem like a micromanaging kind of game. But then again, I went through most of Skyrim without a companion. I …

I only ask because I recently got a Kinect and while the technology is most impressive, the games haven’t wooed me over. I’m starting to think I just bought the Wii for the Xbox, and we all know how that turned out. Everyone buys the tech because of the awesome looking motion senor, which is …
