Rumour: Microsoft and Epic Games may follow the same path as Microsoft and Bungie


Gears of War is was a hit game from the beginning. Capable of many things; it had great graphics for its time. It was a perfect fit for the Xbox 360, and gamers couldn't get enough. Now that little Epic had gotten bigger it is thinking of splitting and making games for different consoles. How would true Xbox fanboys like myself react to the news? If I heard that Gears was going to PS3 I would be devastated, and I am sure others would feel the same. I have been a long time player of Gears and I want it to remain an Xbox exclusive. How would you feel if how would you feel if Gears or another Epic game was multiplatform?

Best Game of all time

Xbox 360 vs Playstation 3


With many arguments about Xbox and PS3, I am going to help solve this problem with this post. I think that Xbox is slightly better, but I am going to go over the good things and bad things about them. The Xbox 360 has many good features and bad features. The Xbox has exceptionally better and more games than the PS3 has. It also has a great controller that is much better than the controller for PS3. Xbox also has pretty much the same graphics as PS3 that reaches 1080p. The Xbox has other bad qualities, and they are known to happen. Some of them are overheating, E74 error(1 red ring), and the 3 rings of death.

The PS3 has many great qualities and bad qualities. The PS3 has better graphics(blu-ray) than the Xbox 360. PS3 has a good controller, but the Xbox has a better one. On the PS3 you are able to use bluetooth accessories, put your own web cam, stream videos, replace the hard drive with a laptop hard drive, and it is a blu-ray player. The PS3 also has bad features, but the are known not to happen as frequent as the Xbox 360. These errors consist of the yellow light error and overheating. Another issue is that the controller's battery is not accessible, therefore it is not replaceable. There may be other problems, but they are not well known.

Also, both consoles have a online multiplayer; Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. PSN is free and Xbox live is not. One can do more over Xbox Live, however when it comes down to the gaming they are the same. However there has been rumors going around about a paid subscription for PSN; to read further into this click here Therefore, I would go with PSN because it is free.

It is clear that both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are even.



16-year-old World of Warcraft youth finds a 'soulmate' twice his age


I would like to take a moment to thank Blizzard for creating World of Warcraft. Not for making the world's most popular MMO, as you may imagine; rather, for making possible bizarre stories like this one, which could only exist in a post-WoW world:

When a 16-year-old boy, of Ontario, Canada, asked his parents to drive him to a hotel to meet the 42-year-old mother of four he'd developed a relationship with inside WoW, they understandably balked. The kid nevertheless absconded in the middle of the night, prompting his parents to discover a wealth of chat logs that detailed the nature of the relationship. "He said she was his soulmate," his mother told The Globe and Mail.

Now, before you worry about the outcome of the young lad's safety, know that he was found two days later in a Future Shop with Ms. Price -- the cougar in this sordid tale -- who "will not face criminal charges," thanks to Canada's age of consent: 16. "Neither the teen or Ms. Price expressed any remorse," said a local police sergeant.

Unsurprisingly, the boy has had problems with computer addiction (specifically WoW), while Price's Facebook page "reveals a middle-aged woman with a large collection of friends -- many made online," the Globe and Mail notes. And while this situation ended safely (albeit, not happily ever after for the soulmates), we'll take this opportunity to remind everyone to be cautious when talking with strangers online. Especially if they graduated college before you were born.

Update: Well, it looks like she has been charged. The CBC reports that Price was arrested upon her return to Texas, where the age of consent is 17. She's being charged with "two counts of online solicitation of a minor and one count of child enticement." Bail is set at $310,000.

Nintendo’s Iwata Says Wii Zelda in 2010


Nintendo aims to release the new Legend of Zelda game for Wii in 2010, company president Satoru Iwata said Wednesday.

In an interview with the Asahi Shimbun, Iwata said that the recent release of New Super Mario Bros. Wii has reenergized flagging Wii sales in Japan, and that Nintendo would aim to release more games that will keep the momentum going. To that end, Nintendo will announce a game this July that will use the Vitality Sensor controller that Iwata showed at last year’s E3, and release Zelda by the end of the year.

The new Legend of Zelda will use the Wii MotionPlus controller add-on.

Iwata also said that Nintendo is currently developing a successor to the Nintendo DS that will feature higher-resolution graphics and a motion sensor.

At E3, Nintendo said that Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M would be released in 2010. I highly doubt that Nintendo will release all three of these major games in every territory in one calendar year.

At the very least, we could see a repeat of 2002, in which Super Mario Sunshine was released worldwide, Metroid Prime shipped in the U.S. only and Zelda debuted in Japan only.

That seems to be the best-case scenario, though. If one game was delayed into 2011 for all territories, I wouldn’t be shocked at this point.

Then again, maybe Iwata really is serious about firing all cannons and keeping the momentum going. After all, it’s not as if there are that many big years left in the console lifecycles anyway: 2010 will be Wii’s fifth Christmas.
