So I moved back into my college dorm yesterday (it’s actually a hotel suite… it’s pretty sweet), hence the fact that there’s no real update.  The process of moving in and out is such a chore that I simply do not have time to keep you posted with video game news.  I know, sad day [...]

In order to remain competitive, especially after the PS3 Slim announcement, Microsoft cut the price of its 120GB Xbox 360 Elite console by $100.  The Elite is now $299, but it lacks an HDMI cable (something that was once bundled with every Elite).  When asked why, Microsoft responded, “We have found that many Xbox 360 [...]

Don’t you just love these gaming conventions?  Peter Molyneux took the stage during Microsoft’s press conference and bluntly stated that players must always “expect the unexpected. I think there’s something fundamentally wrong with Fable.”  Something wrong you say?  Please elaborate.
And instead of explanations, we get a trailer for Fable III.  Good enough for now I [...]

It’s been about four years since the debut of Alan Wake at E3 2005, but it looks like its finally completed.  According to the managing director at Remedy, Matias Myllyrinne, “It’s all done, we’re just polishing at this point.”

This shouldn’t really come as a surprise, but Sony officially announced the PS3 Slim.  The redesigned PS3 is 32 percent smaller and consumes 34 percent less power than the original PS3.  It’ll come with a 120GB hard drive and will still have all of the same features that the older, fatter brother possesses.
