"Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles" Trailer

Ageia Trailer struts amazing physics


The 150MB trailer for Ageia is for the PC version of the game, but shows what the PS3 will be like since it will be using the same physics engine, PhysX.

Cool Odama Trailer

This looks like it will be a fun blend of pinball and strategy gaming.

Crysis Game Trailer

This trailer looks incredible. I just want to know what kind of a beast your hardware has to be to run it...

NDS Opera hits Japan in June


In June 2006, Japan will get their hands on a Nintendo DS version of the popular browser, Opera. It is suppposedly going to go for about $40 and will obviously utilize the DS's touch-screen capabilites. It looks to use the touch screen for navigation, etc., while using the top screen for a magnified view of the current page.
Seems a little like trying to watch the circus through a pinhole in the tent, but I have faith in Nintendo to make what seems clunky at first glance, to actually be very graceful and user-friendly...we'll see. You can view Opera's article on their site here.

God of War 2 video

This game looks like they have come up with fresh new ways to take your opponents apart...literally. The graphics are beautiful and SCEA is smart by releasing this game as a PS2 instead of PS3 game.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Trailer

This game is looking to be my most anticipated game for the DS yet. Classic Zelda elements with both The Wind Waker cel-shading and DS interactivity...


... I can't wait.

Movie Weekend

I went and saw 'V for Vendetta' last weekend and personally thought it was great. Not quite "Spider-man, X-Men and Batman Begins" great. More like 'Sin City' great. Now, I never read the 1988 comic book, but having no knowledge of Alan Moore's original story, it was a fun, intelligent and exciting movie.

I also saw 'Failure to Launch'. Hardly intelligent, but it was a fun film with a couple of good laughs. Unless you're a romantic-comedy fan, save this one for a good rental.
