• Reality Check - Nintendo wipes floor with competition

  As seasoned gamers, most of us favor the more graphical games that our PS3's and Xbox 360's offer. Online gameplay is a must for all of us, yet there is still a huge casual gamer market out there that have no desire for these more 'robust' consoles. If you look at the latest sales numbers, Nintendo is absolutely blowing the competition... Posted Nov 14 2008, 10:17 AM by Sharky with | with 9 comment(s) Filed under: Nintendo, Wii, Sony, Microsoft

• Sony Gets Sued, Unveils New Proprietary Standard!

  Shamelessly stolen from Evil Avatar is today's Sony twin bill. Sony (along with Nintendo) is sued in federal court for patent infringement regarding wireless controllers . Is this suit a shakedown attempt, or is Sony/Nintendo in financial hot water (and is Microsoft's omission significant)? Good questions! Also on the Evil Avatar radar today...

• Graphics reality check - Are we all a bunch of suckers?

  Insomnia.ac has a nice article on the current misunderstanding of video game graphics. Consider this: DVD resolutions are 640x480p. Now, go back to that special place and time in your heart when you saw the Matrix, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings series on DVD. Those had some pretty kick ass scenes didn't they? They had great colors, lighting, explosions... Posted Apr 16 2007, 01:23 PM by Sharky with | with 5 comment(s) Filed under: Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo, General, PC games

  How do you like the sound of Nintendo's new slogan? I'm not sure if Nintendo is officially using it, but I sure am.

  So, it looks like it is a pretty slow news day when the best thing I saw all morning is a Rubix Cube with a Super Mario theme, but it is still pretty funny.
