A Question: Nintendo DSi or Sony PSP?

By ⋅ April 27, 2009 ⋅ 13 comments

The question machine has plunked a spinning, golden question in front of me: Firstly, I must warn you: by asking this question you are raising one of the most fervent religious battles of our time. The religiosity of the Sony-Nintendo-Microsoft console fanboy battle makes Christianity vs. Islam look like an angry game of mini golf. [...]

A brief video review of the new Nintendo console. The full review is over here. Someone also asked if I’d choose the DSi over the PSP. Here’s my answer.

Super Mario Galaxy

Is it possible to call oneself a gamer having never clocked a single Mario game? I can recall picking up many Mario games in the past, but quickly losing enthusiasm. Super Mario Galaxy seems different. Time will tell, but so far (after several hours of play), it is turning out to be an absolutely stunning game.  [...]

Nintendo Wii E3 Roundup

There is so much for the Wii owner to be excited about from E3.?

Endless Ocean for Nintendo Wii

It looks very tranquil, and apparently will feature some sort of online component.? No word yet on whether this will be online co-op (swimming around with friends), or just sharing photos and aquaculture with [...]

Next-gen Battle not so Simple

By ⋅ May 15, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Things just got a whole heap more muddy in the battle for next-gen console supremacy. Despite falling squarely in the XBox fanboy camp, I had an inkling that Sony would kick some ass with their PS3, especially over the full lifecycle, with more grunt being discovered under the Cell architecture as developers got to grips [...]

If Nintendo were intending to spark a worldwide pun competition, they seem to have hit the nail right between the eyes with Wii. Or a stream of Wii as the case may be?

Revolution Controller: WTF?

By ⋅ September 16, 2005 ⋅ 6 comments

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Wow. Nintendo pull another crazy one out of the bag, but if you read the article, it does make a lot of sense. Whether it will actually be comfortable and easy to use for a seasoned gamer is another question.
