WOW!!!!! After waiting for what felt like an eternity, the 3DS finally has arrived. Having decided not to jump into the 3D space until this point, I have been somewhat sceptical of the potential that 3D could bring video games, and entertainment in general.

Yes, that’s right, this is the first map pack that has been released since Bungie gave Microsoft the big heave-ho, but fear not, it’s still Halo! After the dissappointment of the Noble DLC, its time for the new kids on the block to pick up where Bungie left off, and instill confidence that there is Life After Bungie (LAB).
Our first video review! See my thoughts on Final Fantasy XIII along with my first effort at capture/editing. Thanks to Rich for help with the video editing.
Epic. This is a game about epic scales of proportion. The amount of fun you have, the amount of damage you do, the depth of the battle system, your interest in the story and the conceited characters, the size of the monsters, the amount of hit points the enemies have, the amount of strategic options … Continue reading »
Having joined the Playstation revolution late in the day, picking up a copy of Resistance1 several months after release, and still not having put the disc in the tray by the time Resistance 2 hit the stores, it would be fair to say the Resistance franchise doesn’t excite me as much as the next FPS … Continue reading »

My Xbox’s DVD Drive has been playing up for a while now. I install all of my games to the hard drive so it is rarely used. However I need to at least read and recognise the disks to be able to start any retail games. For the last month or so I’ve resorted to … Continue reading »
Having recently decided to invest in some additional video capture and editing software, it became apparent that much of the markets leading tools were still stuck in the dark ages, supporting a Windows only environment. A few years ago this may have resulted in yet another device to clutter my now streamlined setup, in one … Continue reading »
Just a quick one to cover a problem I had today setting my Wii up for component 480p video. The image was fine via RGB Scart but the component cable (in either 480p or 576i/480i) was only giving me a green and purple mix of colours. After fiddling around and with a bit of testing … Continue reading »
The Nintendo 3DS was unveiled to the world yesterday, to great fanfare and expectation, in the land of the rising sun.
