For a limited time Bravia LCD's in Australia will be accompanied by a free PS3. In short Sony will be throwing away a PS3 for every Bravia purchased. To promote a forth coming advertising campaign Sony crashed a 3.2kg (7lb) PS3 meeting a stationary Bravia at 50mph head on – not once but three times. Live in your world, Crash in ours. [Gizmag]...

There may be some word about this going around, and I really hope that it isn’t a blank rumor as usual. There is talk about a possible tie up between NVIDIA and Nintendo to splurge into the joys of releasing a handheld game console with the Tegra (of Microsoft Zune) in it, to cut costs. However, there’s nothing more said about this beside the fact that there may be an ARM architecture implemented in this one. Let’s wait till we...
There isn’t a thick line between the products that roll out from Sony’s garages and those that have already spilt out in abundance from Nintendo’s. The latest Sony PlayStation 3 remote totally apes the classic Wii-mote. It is said to be good enough to get the gamer into the heart of the action. I wonder how literally one should take that. Talk about the ‘full 3-D motion sensing’ spoken about hence. Well, I may give it a try should...
We were teased with the screenshots some months back and now is the time for a teaser trailer. Max Payne 3 is coming and it sure looks very promising. The reel included a 30 second teaser trailer for Max Payne 3, featuring slow-motion bullets, a mysterious masked woman, appropriately crisp sound design and a highly implausible release window of "Winter 2009." Thinking the video was just a fan project made to bolster an artistic portfolio, we thought little of...

Everyday is a surprise at Google. They come up with the craziest, most unimaginable things to surprise us too. Well, the latest is Google Suggest which is a little pop-up box of search suggestions that gives you answers to some really odd questions – random things. For example, if we put in ‘Mac users are’ it would come up with a list of answers like ‘Mac users are annoying’ or Mac users are snobs’ or ‘Mac users are retards’....
A PlayStation motion controller is already in development and it seems the codename given for this is Sphere. Well it is better than saying PlayStation Motion Controller. As usual representatives from Sony deny the fact and are totally unaware of the fact. Why do they always do that? Well all I hope is that they don’t stick to the same name after it is developed and hope it is not actually a sphere! Think of how you will play...

Square Enix head Yoichi Wada believes neither company will be truly successful like the Wii, since both are merely imitating its innovativeness instead of just going bonkers and creating something spectacular. Their immediate effect on the console market might turn out to be greater if compelling games are released. However, games that use motion control are quite difficult to design, and will take a few more years to achieve the success the Wii commands. This in turn will further...
Too many Swastikas are a bit of a problem in quite a few parts of the world. For instance, getting it tattooed on your chest and walking the streets of Austria can give you an excuse to die without suicide. However, when it comes to computer games there’s always a mighty chance of anti-matter (which in this case includes nudes and controversial symbolism) being used in obscene proportions. The brunt of this problem hurts the guys who are behind...

We confirmed that Nintendo Wii will be enjoying a price cut but this is more interesting to see that Square Enix head Yoichi Wada said that he believes that Nintendo will be rolling out the successor to Wii in the near future probably the year 2011 and the features could include the ones that are already available in PS3 and Xbox 360 along with a new controller. Wonder what the consumers have to say on this? [Ubergizmo]...
Surely the ones who designed and built the graphics (hardware and software) of the Xbox 360 have never thought that their wonder gaming product could save lives and that too, effectively. Researchers believe that the GPU inside the Xbox 360 could be powerful enough to over power the capabilities of the heart scanning machines that already exist. Thus, the time taken to detect heart ailments reduces drastically when scanned with the aforementioned, awesome GPU. I always told my nagging...
