Chirp!BWEH! BWEH! BWEHHH! We’ve all heard the distinct wail of the videogame penguin; the shrill siren’s call that drives players to lunacy. I was out saving the Kingdom one land at a time when I stumbled across a remote settlement....
It looks like Sony has fully embraced the seedy world of online passes, with news thatUncharted 3: Drake’s Deceptionwill follow inResistance 3‘s footsteps and require a code to be input before multiplayer access is granted. Classy. According to Sony Spain’s Juan Jiménez, the online pass will feature as part of a bid to tackle piracy, because of course Sony’s efforts to fight piracy have always ended well, andneveraffect honest paying customers, right?...
No, hospitals aren’t ripping off the gameTrauma Center, they’ve actually been working on these medical projects for at least a decade: Scientists have created a computer program that’s able to turn medical images into a full dimensional view of a patient’s body — inside and out. The CAVEman (it’s rendered in a virtual reality room known as a CAVE) will provide not only a three-dimensional view of a body and its organs but also show systems in motion, such as the beating of a heart....
Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks will be on the cover ofNHL 10— but not in all regions. EA Sports’NHLseries will,once again, feature country-specific covers for certain European nations, since hockey is such a global sport.

It’s funny. For the last few months, we’ve been receiving media alerts from Midway forWheelman. Without skipping a beat, Ubisoft have resumed the press blitz for Vin Diesel’s latest “cinematic thrill ride” of a videogame.

Two Worldswas horrible and I’m not about to pull any punches when talking about it. It’s one of a handful of games that I could not bear to play for more than half an hour, I simply couldn’t stand it. The framerate was a joke, the combat pathetic, the dialog not even good enough to be laughable and the overall experience somewhat akin to a molestation. Inan interview withOXM,developer Reality Pump attempted to justify its epic failure, claiming that it was their first console game and the team got overexcited:...

Using a home console as a media center has taken front seat with this new generation of hardware for a reason: it rocks....
