Silent Hill - movie review

( Movies )

SILENT HILL: The first worthwhile game-to-film adaptation?
The first thing that needs to be said is that I, as a fan of the Silent Hill game series, had great hopes for this film. But I also, NOT as a fan of game-to-film adaptations, had no real expectations for it. After all, there hadn’t been a game […]

Crysis

( Games and Computer )

Crysis was one of the many gorgeous show-stoppers at E3. Publisher EA looks to re-tool our definition of next-gen graphics with this game which looks looks a cut above all else. While it’s difficult for re-branded franchises (the previous game was ‘Far Cry’) to get noticed amongst the massive deluge of monthly releases and sequels, […]

Welcome to the future of gaming

Don’t look at me with that dumbstruck look on your face. We have to discuss the next set of “Next-Gen” consoles to emerge out of the big N and Sony. It’s what gamers are talking about, and I’m completely in love with Wii already. So without further ado, let’s get down to buisness.

Of course, when I heard that Midway would be releasing the Unreal Anthology set in August; so, a bunch of quality games (as well as […]

All Your Game Are Belong To Nintendo

A glance at the lowlights and highlights of Nintendo’s home video game console history
Since the launch of the Nintendo 64 in mid-to-late 1996 (or early 1997, depending on whether you live in North America, Japan or Europe), Nintendo have repeatedly struggled in their attempts to gain their previous stronghold authority in the video game industry. […]

Wii to be released earlier than PlayStation 3?

What we know: the PlayStation 3 release date has been confirmed by Sony Computer Entertainment as being November 17th, 2006. The company has also been frank about the seemingly high price band we are to expect to have to pay for the console (or should we say, the computer) - $499 and $599 (pricing in […]

Why the Nintendo Wii is so-called

Why is the Wii called Wii?
Much of the suggestion and conjecture surrounding the Wii has sprouted from the change of name, from the slightly tame ‘Revolution’, to the much more thought provoking and (almost) surreal ‘Wii’. One might wonder why Nintendo have changed from a rather standard codename, to a bizarre alternative. Wii is pronounced […]
