GTA V: The Trailer

Sci-Guy-John — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 18:52:32 +0000

Reminiscent of Kurosawa’s “High and Low”, the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto V has hit the streets, and these streets appear to be Los Angeles. What do you think?

Kinect Star Wars Adds Rancor Mode… So What?

Sci-Guy-John — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 17:16:45 +0000

The news out of Germany today is Lucasarts has added a playable Rancor mode into the eyebrow-raising (and sneer inducing) Kinect Star Wars game slated to come out six days AFTER Christmas.

So what does this mean? The gameplay we have seen at various events is lackluster at best. As a saber swinging Jedi on rails, the actions of the player didn’t seem to translate onto the screen as a Kinect game should. By telling us it isn’t done yet, does that mean the gameplay may get better? We can only hope, but the word that the kids love smashing everything on screen as Jabba’s favorite pet tend to raise fears this is less “The Force Unleashed” and more “Wii Lightsaber Duels”.

3DS To Drop Price By $80

Sci-Guy-John — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 23:13:33 +0000

Engadget reports today that in just over a month, Nintendo will slash the $249.00 price tag for the handheld 3DS system to $169.00 (with similar price cuts in other world markets). This is a significant cut (and brings the price to the same as the better selling DSi-XL). Despite the 3DS’s power and impressive graphics, it hasn’t had the titles to move enough early adopters.

And what about those early adopters? Nintendo hasn’t turned their backs on them. Twenty FREE games will be available for download for those that register their systems within the next couple weeks. (These will be Virtual Console games from GBA and NES systems… no doubt with some 3D zing). Without knowing what the titles are, it is hard to predict if the $80 is worth it… but let’s hope for some hints before Aug. 12.
