Sony’s 3D at E3

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Sony definitely had a pretty decent showing at E3 this year, showcasing some great upcoming games and features. However, one thing they really tried to highlight was their implementation of 3D technology into games being released as early as of the end of this year. It feels far too early to be pushing this tech though as 3D in the home entertainment center is not nearly popular enough as of yet to really justify a marketing push like this. While it is a neat concept, it’s too impractical as of right now for many as such a feature requires a television that supports 3D, which are currently very new and quite pricey. For the general public it’s just not feasible right now. To really get the audience at E3 excited for it, they did show a trailer for the upcoming Killzone 3 game.

Pre-order Super Mario Galaxy 2 While you can!

Friday, May 21st, 2010

Here’s a short one to round out our first week back (and with a non-Sony related post at that!) – pre-order Super Mario Galaxy 2 while you can!

If the stellar reviews it’s getting all over from Kotaku and Joystiq to IGN and Famitsu, you can pick this supposedly “perfect” platformer up for 50 bills on Amazon and get a bonus 20 dollars in video game credit.  You only have until Sunday so get on that!

Plus the goddamn Whomp’s Fortress from Super Mario 64 is in it.  What’s not to love?

Sonic 4 Delayed to Latter Half of 2010

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Sega has rather excitedly announced that it’s upcoming Sonic 4 title would be delayed. Sega claims this delay is to make sure that the game “is a game worthy of bearing the weight of its name,” which should be easy enough considering the direction the series has taken over the past few years. To do so, the development team has been taking to heart internal suggestions, as well as fan suggestions. Most of these suggestions are assumed to generally be fans begging for them to do a decent job for once.

Sega also mentioned that Sonic 4 would be released on the Apple  iPhone and iPad, then concluded this announcement by saying “there are rumors that something very special relating to Sonic 4 is coming around a special date this June.” This is most likely happening on June 23rd to coincide with the anniversary of the first Sonic the Hedgehog game. Sega however was unable to confirm if the rumor that they started is even true.

Want to win? It’s pretty simple. I just want you to draw the best piece of erotic fan art featuring my girl, the Spitter.

Sexy girl, ain’t she? And what a pretty mouth! I’m sure you can come up with all kinds of naughty situations for her to be in. I look forward to your submissions.”

As an addendum, we would also like to say that we’d prefer this fan art to include Twilight’s Edward Cullen.
