Games Cheats and Reviews

GameBrit writes: "The Nintendo Wii has shown the masses that motion controls are popular. Not just for those who already class gaming as a hobby, but also for people who have never even played or enjoyed a games console before. This has led to the Wii being the current leader in sales followed by the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Naturally both Microsoft and Sony have seen this success and now want a piece of the motion based pie. This has culminated in Project Natal, a camera based option, and the PlayStation Move combination from Sony, featuring a camera alongside Wiimote and Nunchuck style devices. So with both vying for the crown of the motion controlled world, which one has what it takes to topple the Wii? My money is on Sony’s offering, and this is why."

Aaron Greenberg clarifies the comment he made during an interview with Edge about the Xbox 360 having twice the installed base of the Playstation 3.

Strategy Analytics predicts the Sony PlayStation 3 console will outsell the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii-within the next four years.

This week’s Famitsu issue revealed some new details in addition to announcing a release time frame for White Knight Chronicles 2 on the Playstation 3.

Mashable: Last week, Sony announced the PlayStation Move, a new motion-based controller to compete with both the Wii and, more importantly, Microsoft’s upcoming Project Natal full-body motion controller.

OXCGN:

"So we’ve finally been given a good look at the final ‘PlayStation Move’ controllers, and Project Natal is expected to dominate a significant portion of E3, but what about all those other so-called ‘innovations’ that have launched and failed this generation?

You know, the things Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony’s PR were desperately trying to convince us would be an integral part of our gaming experience only for them to either fade away or remain an uncomfortable or unneeded addition to our lounge room.

That’s why it’s time to honour the Top 5 Failed Console Innovations. At least for a few minutes before stuffing them back in the closet to serve the more useful purpose of collecting dust."

The first image below is, of course, a picture of the Wii remote and nunchuck. Nintendo has used the image countless times as promotional material.

GB writes:"Crysis 2 is definitely one of the games that we are looking forward to in 2010. Coming to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC later this year, Crysis 2 should be able to set a new benchmark in the visuals department again. So does the game match up with Killzone 2? We decided to do a high definition screen shot comparison of both the games, so check it out. The first screen is from Crysis 2 and the second one is from Killzone 2."

Kojima does not shy away from his twitter account. He loves it and has been tweeting many things, including things about Metal Gear Solid: Rising and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walking, saying that the former is created by a "new generation" and "will create new users" while the latter "is made by Hideo Kojima, a new but classical MGS".

The recent story that hit the internet about Valve poaching talent from Naughty Dog, has drawn some questions from the gaming community. Mostly attributable to the fact that Naughty Dog, the developer for the critically acclaimed Uncharted series on the Playstation 3, lost talent to Valve, a developer exclusive to the Xbox 360 and PC. It turns out this news isn’t so new after all. The developers in question: Vitaliy Genkin, Elan Ruskin, and Alex Vlachos have been with Valve for almost four years.
