Rock Band: 360/PS3 – 23 NOV 2007 for $170, PS2 – 10 DEC 2007 for $160
Posted by inpheaux on September 28th, 2007 at 5:05 pmWell, prices and dates are finally out, and frankly I'm pretty disappointed. Hear me out, OK. Sure, $170 is way better than $200, but there's only one version, they're making you buy a full set of Guitar, Drum Kit and Mic. I have absolutely zero interest in the Drums and Mic. Sorry guys, I just [...]
Nintendo @ E3 2007 – Numbers, Dates, the Zapper and … a Scale?
Posted by inpheaux on July 11th, 2007 at 12:59 pmI like Nintendo Press Conferences because you can generally summarize them pretty easily.
Numbers: Shocking news - Reggie loves his charts & graphs and Nintendo is totally dominating everything when it comes to numbers. The DS now makes up a quarter of the console market, and somehow the GBA is refusing to give up its marketshare. [...]

Smash Bros. Dojo website launches
Posted by inpheaux on May 22nd, 2007 at 3:00 amFor the past month or so, Nintendo has had a teaser page up at SmashBros.com, telling us amazing new things would be coming. It's up finally, but it's just a bit underwhelming compared to the nuclear strike launched by Blizzard over the weekend.
The new "Smash Bros. Dojo" features - as rumored - updates every weekday [...]
Metapost: Wordpress upgraded to 2.2
Posted by inpheaux on May 21st, 2007 at 12:43 pmYou probably don't care about this, but just to keep you all informed, I wanted to announce that I upgraded Wordpress - the software that makes DPad Go - last night from some ancient version to 2.2, which was released last week. I did some dev-server testing before rolling out to production, and didn't come [...]

Posted by inpheaux on March 28th, 2007 at 7:11 amIt is finally happening. After years and years of bitter rivalry, a Mario / Sonic crossover game is finally happening. We don't have tons of information, but it looks like Nintendo and Sega got a hold of a license for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, and have taken the opportunity to pit their two top [...]
EA announces Wing Commander Arena (but don’t get excited)
Posted by inpheaux on February 24th, 2007 at 7:01 amEarlier this week, there were reports that the ESRB had issued a rating for an unexpected title from EA: "Wing Commander Arena". It told us that it was from EA, it had fantasy violence, and it would be on the 360. The internet, of course, exploded with fanboy speculation. Is it going to be a [...]

Posted by inpheaux on October 12th, 2006 at 11:49 amLast month, we reported that the criticially acclaimed PC platformer Psychonauts would be coming to Steam, Valve's online game delivery service.
Well, it's out now. $19.99 gets you one of the best games I've played in years, and you don't have to leave your house.
Seriously, if you haven't played Psychonauts yet, you now have absolutely no [...]
PS3 gets an upgrade and price drop in Japan
Posted by inpheaux on September 23rd, 2006 at 9:34 pmOh, Sony. Not even out of the gate yet, and you're already having to drop MSRP to make your product relevant.
The Tokyo Game Show took place last week, and during Sony's keynote, Ken Kutaragi dropped two last-minute changes. First item: Upgrade. HDMI is in now, for real, on both models of PS3. No, you probably [...]
