    Rejoice user! Devin won't be keeling over from auto-erotic asphyxiation after all. The TRON controllers that he saw at E3 and threatened to hold his breath over? Well, they are going to be for sale. To be honest, I haven't considered replacing my stock Xbox 360 controllers until this point, but now I'm afraid I have no choice.

    Buried in the depth's of Sony's online archives were these photos of the PlayStation Move Charging Station, a device we don't remember seeing at the big E3 booth. Or maybe we're blind. In any event: the Charging Station, as the name implies, charges your Move controllers. Up to two at a time, too.

    Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword announced along with vastly improved Wii interaction

    Here we go: another E3, another Zelda. The latest in the Zelda canon is Skyward Sword, a MotionPlus compatible game that mimics the experience of holding a sword and a shield. Link's on-screen actions mimic your actions completely including the motion of a shield in front of you. Basically this is a more precise version of the previous Zelda Wii interface. With so many people trying so many motion controls, however, I wonder how exciting this will be in context.

    E3 is all about Nintendo and Sony today

    Microsoft had their dog and pony show yesterday. Project Natal got a proper name and is now called Kinect and the Xbox 360 is now a bit smaller and quieter. In retrospect, there really wasn’t anything all that special announced. Hopefully that won’t happen today. Now it’s Nintendo’s and Sony’s turn. Nintendo is up first at [...]

    Live from Microsoft’s E3 2010 press conference

    We know that Kinect, the motion control system previously known as Natal, will be announced. Chances Microsoft will unveil the Xbox 360 slim as well. But is that all? Seems a bit light, right? Sure, we’ll see some Kinect demos, but there better be more. 3D anyone? More as we get it. [Update: Live video stream [...]

    We’re not doing them. There’s no point. Everyone from G4 to SpikeTV to IGN (edit: and Gamespot) to the manufacturers themselves have live video streams and you should watch those rather than reading our dribble.
