My all time favourite video game industry story starts with the 2 major video game heavyweights of the late 1980’s and early 1990′s, Sega and Nintendo. Sega, back in the day when they actually made consoles, were quite a gutsy and ambitious bunch. They were the first to bring an 8-bit console to the home [...]
This is sweet! James Cameron showed off his tech, the Cameron-Pace 3D Camera Rig, on G4TV’s ‘Attack of the Show’. This is the same camera rig that he used to shoot ‘Avatar’. I am not a huge fan of ‘Attack of the Show’ but I love movie tech and this just tickled that little geek [...]

Even Mario has only done simultaneous multiplayer ONCE, Lego has been doing it since day dot! And there are so many themes of Lego games. Lego [...]
I have been wondering how so many Apple products geek leaked now days. If you go back a few years, Apple was a tight ship and we didn’t know what they had for us until Steve Jobs took to a keynote stage and announced it. Lately, there have been no secrets. We have pretty much [...]
