Bosh To Miami A "Done Deal?"

The internet is filled with all sorts of misinformation these days, especially when it comes to NBA free agency, which begins Thursday morning. Obviously, this is a crop of players unlike anything we’ve ever seen, with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce, Amare Stoudamire and Carlos Boozer all available in 2010.

Microsoft: ?Hardcore Gamers? Will Buy Kinect

  Despite the hardcore gaming community’s somewhat muted response to Microsoft’s E3 presentation – aka “An Evening With Kinect” – Microsoft remains as self-assured as ever. Maybe it was because all those “journalists” bought off by a free Xbox Slim declared Microsoft the big winner at E3. Nevertheless, flush with success (or maybe just a [...]

Referees Are Killing The World Cup

The goals and great saves have been big stories at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, as they should be. Unfortunately, the men with the whistles are getting their fair share of headlines, and that is not a good thing. We’ve seen blown offside calls that were clearly onside, along with goals that were obviously offside. [...]

Hulu on PS3?

With the E3 over and the buzz winding down, it’s back to business for the video game world. Yes, we got our fix, and for that brief, beautiful moment in time, the console news was all about the games for once (yeah, motion control hogged a bit of the limelight, but what can you do?) [...]

NBA Elite 11 Goes The Way of the NHL and Skate

Almost three years ago, EA released it’s revolutionary skateboarding game Skate, stunning and eventually winning over skeptical gamers who had grown up on Tony Hawk. The game was a revolution because it did away with the old style of butting-pressing controls for every aspect of the sport, and introduced awesome new controls that took advantage [...]

North Korea: Lovable Underdog?

I mean, I don’t know about everyone else, but yeah, a large part of me was rooting for the DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea…AKA North Korea) when they took on Brazil the other day. As the lowest ranked team to ever qualify for the World Cup, they put up a very respectable fight against [...]

One of the big announcements at E3 in Los Angeles this week was the unveiling of Kinect, Microsoft’s new motion controller. The company showed off its new toy during a press conference on Monday, saying Kinect would ship on November 4th.

E3 Gets Back To Party Mode In 2010

The Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles was once a huge attraction, filled with crazy nightlife, hopping parties and huge attendance. Then, organizers decided to get away from all that madness by creating a smaller event with less hoopla for both 2007 and 2008. Now, after a more exciting 2009,  2010 has really brought E3 [...]
