Today in Techland: Lev brought us part one of his awesome Mark Millar interview, and the boys’ conversation with Bioware, the minds behind Mass Effect 2, went up for your reading pleasure. Me? I spent the day chewing on last night’s episode of LOST while Steve brought us some truly strange hybrid beasts. What …
Evan and I are coming to you live from Sony’s GDC press conference. And they’ve just revealed the official name as PlayStation Move.
Peter Dille is currently on stage going through software sales and how well Sony has done thus far. Did you know that God of War III is 35 gigs? GT5 will ship this year. “Worth the wait.” Duh.
The …
Home is where the heart is.
Or where you go when you’re really bored.
Sony will be rolling out Home v1.35 tomorrow and it promises decreased load times and a revamped World Map that’s been streamlined to help you navigate Second Life Home. I don’t think I’ve ever gone into Home.
This streamlined interface features

Today in Techland: Where in the world is Techland? Peter and Evan are still at the Game Developers Conference in San Fran, Steve is in D.C. and Lev is too far down the hall for me to see. Still, Douglas had an awesome chat with the hilarious Patton Oswalt while I got to chat up TV exec Ken Biller.

In Greek mythology, mortals usually ascend to godhood for acts of great valor or sacrifice, like Hercules enduring the torment of his 12 labors. Kratos, hero of Sony’s God of War franchise, snatched his divinity from Ares in the series’ first game. In the second game, Zeus kicked the angry warrior off Olympus for showing favor to his …
It makes sense now, right? The above demo by Eric Rudder at TechEd in Dubai is one of many reasons why I’m stoked for Windows Phone 7 devices to be released to the public. The ability to play a game that syncs across all three major Microsoft platforms (Xbox 360, Windows OS, Windows Phone 7) is bonkers.
Not that I use a Windows …
Now that Apple has made it official is anyone picking up an iPad or pre-ordering? The April 3rd date is specific to Wi-Fi models in the US. There’s still no word on shipping dates for the 3G model, but Apple says they’ll be shipping in late April. (More on Techland: Hands-on With the Apple iPad)
For those of you in Australia, Canada, …
This takes me back to the olden days of 2003 when I was still rockin’ out with my Palm Pilot.
Google announced Gesture Search late yesterday as a new addition to Google Labs for Android devices running v2.0 and higher. It’s a pretty straightforward app but it has to be open to work. Sort of defeats the purpose if you ask …
Ask anyone what they think of Sony today and chances are you won’t get a positive response. The company that once dominated the consumer electronics sector has fallen on hard times in recent years. Every facet of the business is playing catch up to companies like Microsoft, Samsung and Apple. What went wrong?
I fondly remember my …
Fashion Blogger Jordana Bruner of Clutch22 shares her nerdy side in a guest post about the latest in chic geekery. When faced with the dilemma of choosing between a pair of Christian Louboutin pumps or a new accessory for her DSLR, she’ll almost always choose the latter. Clutch22 is an independent style blog that covers everything from …
We’re in the thick of Video Game Award Season, with the IGF and GDC awards next week. Lots of deserving games will win nice shiny awards. But what about the bottom-dwellers? Where’s their recognition? Let us introduce The Crashies.
We are, of course, taking some inspiration from the Razzies. Also known as the Golden Raspberry …
This is rather interesting but not at all surprising.
AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson doesn’t expect to see a spike in traffic from the iPad on his crippled network because the device is a “Wi-Fi driven product.”
He makes a valid point about consumers not wanting to tack on an additional subscription though. I mean, who …
