Talk about getting ahead of yourself, Nintendo.  After dropping the ball with the development of its Nintendo 64 and GameCube consoles, the Japanese company is now predicting it will sell 35 million Wiis in the United States alone by 2012.  That will take some serious leap-frogging of Microsoft’s established Xbox 360, as well as ...

Much hoopla has surrounded Halo 3 of late, primarily because of the flood of beta videos now weaving their way through the web.  With many clips flashing images of multiplay mayhem amidst the series’ stirring soundtrack, it’s no wonder Xbox 360 fans are already looking forward to the expected launch date in November.   But, wait one ...

According to rumors surfacing this past weekend, a Wii version of the much-anticipated EA and Harmonix game “Rock Band” may be in the works.  Already announced for the more powerful Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles, the primary draw to Rock Band has been its promised online play, making a transfer to the online multiplayer-less Wii ...

Being a Sopranos fan and HD-DVD owner, I absolutely refuse to muck up the following news with line after line of mobster clichés.  Thus, this will be the one high-def blog free of “whacks”, “hits”, or “cement shoes”.  No, I’m going to report Toshiba’s recent signing of Sopranos mainstay Michael Imperioli with the respect the move ...

For those who’ve been interested in owning the Nintendo Wii since it launched last November, the pursuit has been something like hunting a great white whale.  Although the equally anticipated Sony PlayStation 3 was the first to experience massive shortages, growing excitement over Nintendo’s motion sensitivity and lower price tag eventually ...

It seems Sony’s answer for sluggish PlayStation 3 and PSP sales is to simply take their frustration out on the livestock.  According to some pretty shocking reports coming out of the UK, the company recently held a party celebrating the release of the PlayStation 2 title, God of War II.  The event was rife with Greek mythology ...

Although I’m hesitant to call the Wii drought over, it seems as though the spring time rapids are beginning to flow.  After months upon months where would-be Nintendo fans had been denied a chance to own the motion-sensitive machine, retailers are beginning to receive the device in greater quantities.  While it takes some investigative ...

It seems even mid-generation, unanticipated console releases are wrought with problems these days.  Although it launched just yesterday into most retail outlets, the Xbox 360 Elite, boasting the largest hard drive of any system to date (120 GB) and an HDMI port is already receiving consumer complaints.  Most begrudged buyers are ticked ...

Things have been a bit slow on the Xbox 360 of late.  With Vista launching into retail outlets during the last days of January, Microsoft has only really unveiled its “super premium” and largely unnecessary black Xbox 360 Elite, a product unlikely to revolutionize the console market.  Instead, it seems the company’s interests have ...

Good news, everyone!  As well all know, the internet is a dirty, filthy place, and has been since it was first invented by Al Gore a few years ago.  Thank heavens Chinese President Hu Jintao recently announced his government’s plan to clean up the “unhealthy” content online, and to make it a hub page for the posting of wise Communist ...
