PlayStation 3 may never turn a profit, developer says

It looks like Sony really did steal from the Microsoft play book on this one. More specifically, it's unlikely that Sony will ever turn a profit on the PlayStation 3 , unless they're able to drag the lifecycle of the device out to 10 years: Acclaim boss David Perry has said that Sony will not...

With all the bad news swirling around the Xbox 360 these days, I'm happy to link to something positive for a change. Even if it is unbelievably temporary and because of a game I've never even heard of: Microsoft's Xbox 360 beat Sony's PlayStation 3 in Japan weekly sales for the first...

Xbox 360 Avatars can only be used in non-violent titles

I’m nervous about this avatar silliness. They look ridiculous. And they feel like a calculated attempt to turn a hard-core gamer’s machine into something that’s a lot more soft and cuddly. It’s like trying to sell a muscle car to a little old lady. It just feels wrong. Anyway, this Develop post provides...

Too late, too little: Games for Windows LIVE will be free

When I reviewed Games for Windows LIVE last year, I wasn't impressed. And while Microsoft appears to be making the right moves here , let's be honest. This ship has sailed. Free multiplayer gaming has been available forever on the PC. So welcome to the party, Microsoft. You may find there's...

Xbox 360 price cut is temporary: Here's what's really happening

Well, the rumors were partially right. For weeks, we've been hearing that Microsoft would soon drop the price of the mainstream Xbox 360 console (the one with no real name; it's just called the Xbox 360) from $350 to $300 in the US. And they did. Sort of. For now. What's really happening...

You've probably seen the ads on TV: Battlefield: Bad Company looks like Call of Duty 4 ( see my review ) but with a decided sense of humor. Well, here's a shocker: That's exactly what it is. And best of all, it's a great game. In fact, it's easily the best new game I've played...

Bioshock ... the movie?

Well, all I can say is, I hope the movie version of this over-rated game offers better plot devices than conveniently-located personal recorders all over the place. I've said it before and I'll say it again: There are many, many examples of games that do a much better job of telling a story than...
