Random Visual: REZ Comes To Mind…

Not content in being suggestive with the iGallop and iVibe, Osim has gone all out with the uVibe, courtesy of izreloaded’s blog post. The ad had me at "high speed vibration gives that extra oomph." On a sort-of related note, here’s a tale of a woman’s odyssey with the add-in [...]

NVISION 08 – The Show’s Not Started, The Party Has

Walking around downtown San Jose to check out the various venues for NVISION, I somehow stumbled upon this super secret Opening Ceremony for the Electronic Sports World Cup at the Center of Performing Arts.

GameAxis Gauntlet Console Overlord Crowned

Ah….Victory. Is there anything that smells sweeter than the crushed hopes of your opponents? The aroma of their despair filling your nostrils as their fear clogged pores drip with sweat, that fluid of failure.

This Week In Releases: RPG + Beat-Em’ Up + Baseball + Robot Fish

I notice that my previous lists of these used to have "titles" instead of "releases", so to avoid/add in unintentional confusion, I’ll just relabel it as you see it right now.

Force Unleashed: Initial Thoughts

The demo for Force Unleashed is now available for you to get your dark side groove on. We’ve been having fun force grabbing things to throw into storm troopers, windows, TIE fighters, droids and anything else that might explode if we crash something into it; which turns out, is pretty much everything.
