Sony reportedly gutted the Spider-Man franchise of its talent, and scrapped its 2011 release, to further the 3D evolution of film. Rumors said that Raimi didn’t know what to do, or perhaps just didn’t care, about the up-convesion of his fourth Spider-Man.

Nintendo Dominates the 2000s
I would have never guessed it, but Nintendo dominated the last decade taking nine of the top 10 spots of best selling video games. The only title to crack the top 10 was Rockstar’s “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” with 18.15 million units sold, which pales in comparison to the 58.4 million copies of Wii Sports that were sold.

Spidey’s Brand New Webb: Sony Ropes In New Director
Poor Marc Webb.
After Sam Raimi and Sony couldn’t manage to just hug it out during pre-production on Spider-Man 4, Raimi bowed out and Sony got to appoint a new martyr director.
“This is a dream come true and I couldn’t be more aware of the challenge, responsibility, or opportunity. Sam Raimi’s virtuoso rendering of

Sony PS3 “Motion Controller” Coming Fall 2010

Today I went back Home. To PlayStation Home, that is.
The PlayStation 3’s online, avatar-based social networking community is filled with plenty of other player avatars, mini-games, shops, music, advertisements and video previews. I’ve only hung out in the virtual world a handful of times since the beta launched about one year ago …
Penny Arcade Explains Logitech’s PSPgo Rumor
There’s a rumor going around that Logitech is making a UMD add-on accessory for the PSPGo. It’s a pretty dumb rumor. Rather than circulating rumors, I’ve decided to share Penny Arcade’s latest webcomic with you. It sums up the situation nicely.
