Are you over the lack of a Spring update? You shouldn’t be. It was time well spent. The fall update will completely reinvent the Xbox 360 dashboard.

WiiWare Review: GyroStarr

Apparently, putting an unnecessary letter at the end of your game title means it’s cool. However, it doesn’t help Gyrostarr that much.

E3 2008: Heavy Rain Impressive; We Can’t Talk About It

E3 2008 is just about done, but before that, there’s a few more bullets left in its clip. One good example of that is Heavy Rain by French-based devs Quantic Dream. The game is a PlayStation 3 exclusive and it was shown to a crowd with one little catch. The catch is that there’s an NDA [...]
