I don’t think it’s too hard to guess that PlayStation have the Wii in their targets for the PlayStation Move launch. It makes sense. They don’t want to compare the accessory to Kinect.

Mega unboxing: Looking inside the Halo Reach Legendary Edition
The Halo Reach Legendary Edition arrived, on time, at the humble flat and Rainbow One took many pictures of the unboxing. It’s a very large box. The controller game in a separate delivery! Not yet decided where/if we can put the models. They may need to be returned to the box. However, the initial impressions are “wow” […]
New Xbox 360 Dashboard for Kinect leaked
Wasn’t this bound to happen? We’ve a YouTube video claiming to be a leaked previewof the Kinect enabled dashboard (dasboard 2.0) for the Xbox.

UNSC ManCave for Halo Reach
I don’t know if you’ve noticed but Microsoft are really pushing Halo Reach. I suspect it’s important to them that it’s successful and that the community accepts it.

PlayStation Move advert isn’t naff
I was lucky enough to have a go on the PlayStation Movie during the Edinburgh Interactive Festival. I wasn’t allowed to take any photos but I did get a feel for the Move device itself. It’s certainly more responsive than the Wii-mote. Not sure it’s as amazingly precise as some people claim but I didn’t […]
The Xbox’s revolutionary new D-Pad
Which is better? The PS3 controller or the Xbox 360’s? Microsoft say they’ve had some feedback from their community which suggests that the D-pad on their controller could be better. They think they’ve made some significant improvements. In this video fan facing spokesman, Major Nelson, shows off the new controller. Check it out. Looks pretty […]

Ace Combat Assault Horizon trailer
Here’s a chunky ad for NAMCO BANDAI’s Ace Combat Assult Horizon. The marketing chat that came with this video describes Ace Combat Assault Horizon as less of a sequel and more of a rebirth of Ace Combat. In fact, here’s the quote from Kazutoki Kono, Producer at Project Aces, NAMCO BANDAI ; “For us, this […]

That’s right folks; Bioshock Infinite. As you would expect – hope – the trailer for Bioshock Infinite looks to be seven levels of scary awesome fun. There’s a Big Daddy cameo, of sorts, and something else going on. Two big bits of news for you; firstly, Bioshock Infinite is set in the skies and not […]
