New Nintendo DSi
October 9, 2008
Nintendo just can’t stop can they!! A new DS is about to be released, known as the ‘DSi’.
There are a few new features added to the DSi which include bigger screens (17% bigger to be precise), top and bottom. The ability to play back music with improve audio capabilities, and save data onto an SD card, and you can also take photos with the built in 3 megapixel camera.
The camera has a maximum resolution of 640 x 480, which is a decent size for such a small console. Gamers will also be able to download games which will be known as DSiWare and can be stored on an SD card. The Opera browser which is used on the Wii, will be built into the DSi as standard. Some of the DSi ware will be free, but others you will have to buy using, you guessed it, Wii Points. The points values will be set 200, 500 or 800 depending on what it is that you want to buy.

October 8, 2008
Manhunt 2, the sequel to one of the most gruesome games ever made is set to FINALLY hit the UK shores this Halloween!
Manhunt has come under huge pressure because of the graphical content of the game, with people asking questions about whether or not a game with this magnitude of violence is appropriate.
Manhunt is made by Rockstar games, and if you don’t know who they are, what rock have you been hiding under?! Rockstar are the company behind Grand Theft Auto 4, just in case you didn’t know.

October 5, 2008
The word is out that Nintendo could be releasing a new version of the Wii in 2011. This version would enable people to play true high definition (HD) games on the Wii, will have an increased hard drive and will still carry the name Wii.
It’s not that long ago that I covered the talk of there being a Wii 2 on its way and now some more speculation has come to light.

October 4, 2008
I remember saying in my review of Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction that I thought it was the best looking game on the PS3 so far. But QFB seems to be more polished and looks better if that’s possible!
The game follows straight on from where we left our hero, with Clank taken by the Zoni. To where, nobody knows. But in QFB, Ratchet is trying everything he can to find his faithful friend and sidekick.
This is more of a platform game but still keeps the essence of the previous game. When I reached the island there were certain parts of it that reminded me of the first Jak and Daxter, which was cool. On the island, you have to get the power flowing back to the village so that you can access other areas. Then it’s on to other little things to find clues as to Clanks whereabouts and search for the Fulcrum Star so that you can look through the Obsidian Eye to ultimately find Clank.

October 2, 2008
As you may have already read in my “Pure (PS3) Demo” review, the game is a racing game on ATV bikes and has a feel of Motorstorm and SSX. The craziness of Motorstorm with 16 riders on the track at one time which can be fun, and the tricks you can pull off on the jumps is reminiscent of SSX.
You might notice a difference to this review and this is because I’m going to be doing game reviews from the tech side a bit more to give a deeper account of the game being reviewed.
And what a game to start with!
The opening of Pure has you completing a training session the same as in the demo, and then you have to build your own ATV which is really cool! Then it’s into the game! When you’ve completed a few races and gained some points you unlock extra parts for your bike which helps to improve your ATV.

September 26, 2008
I can’t believe that I’m typing this, but…….it’s confirmed that Johnny Depp is set to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates 4!!
I love Pirates, but think that the 3rd could have been loads better, and parts of the 2nd that weren’t that cracking.

September 21, 2008
T-shirts are a great way to get some custom designed clothing for yourself to show off your individuality, that’s one reason why I feel much more at comfortable wearing jeans and a T-shirt than a suit or shirt and tie.
Pure (PS3 Demo)
September 19, 2008
Imagine a mix between Motorstorm and SSX……..and you’ve got Pure!
I saw the PS3 demo for this game on the Playstation Network and thought it could be good for a laugh for a couple of minutes, but this game has left me wanting more.
Pure is the new ATV racing game from Disney Interactive. In the demo, you have objectives to complete before you can race. The objectives are there just to get you used to the game controls and include, doing a lap around the track, pulling tricks, boosting and completing a lap within 27 seconds.

September 17, 2008
Supernatural is back for its 4th season. I really like this show and think there have been some really good moments so far and hope that the show doesn’t go off in another direction and become a has been show.
In case you’ve been living in a cave and haven’t seen Supernatural yet, the story follows brothers Dean (Jensen Ackles, who you might recognise from early Smallville episodes) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) Winchester as they track down and kill evil spirits, ghosts, werewolves, Demons and all kinds things from Hell.

September 13, 2008
I’ve just downloaded a demo of Play TV for the Playstation 3. The Play TV demo is a digital tuner for use with the PS3 and allows you to watch and record digital programmes onto your HDD, the same as Freeview recorders or Sky+.
The menu is very basic and easy to navigate around and the guide with all the TV listings was very easy to use as it’s no different from the ones I’ve used previously on Freeview and Sky.
The programmes that are the demo are obviously just demo channels that have already been pre-installed for users to get used to how Play TV works. You can record a programme with one push of the select button, which I found very useful also.
