    Sony: 3D will really shine once the games start hitting it off

    Posted on May 26, 2010 | No Comments
    "Not a fan of 3D movies? Wait till you play 3D games, that's when the technology will really shine." Not an exact quote, but that's the spirit of what Sony Computer Entertainment Europe President Andrew House said in a recent interview. The idea is that, OK, 3D movies may be just sorta there, but it's sitting there and playing something like WipeOut HD in 3D where you'll really gain an appreciation for the medium.

    DIYer combines iPhone 3GS with Show WX for pico projected gaming bliss (video)

    Posted on May 17, 2010 | No Comments
    digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Worlds_First_Pico_Projector_iPhone_Camera'; The Moject project proved that smartphones and pico projectors do indeed have a thing for one another, but Ethan Janson has taken things one step further with an unnamed contraption that holds his iPhone 3GS, a Microvision Show WX and an "ancient" point-and-shoot camera. Put simply, the handmade thingamajig allows him to play his iPhone games on a far larger screen, and since the Show WX continually autofocuses regardless of distance from walls, there's never a blurring issue when flailing about in order to control the gameplay. The full skinny is down there in the source, but shortcut takers can head straight past the break for a video.

    [Thanks, Ethan]

    Control your Nexus One or Droid with a Wii Remote for fun and profit

    Posted on May 10, 2010 | No Comments
    If you have a Nexus One or Motorola Droid and play classic games with an emulator, you must do this hack. It essentially turns the Nexus One into a full-fledge portable gaming system. The Wii Remote is even small enough to travel with, too. Can’t you see yourself pulling out the phone and firing up [...]

Tokyo-based middleware company HI Corp. today announced [JP] it has developed software that makes it possible to convert regular 2D cell phone games into 3D games. HI claims its image-rendering software, the new version of "MascotCapsule", lets users then play the 3D games without glasses.

    Don’t like being on camera? Then don’t go to New York City!

    Posted on May 5, 2010 | No Comments
    Officials in New York have started laying the groundwork for a gigantic influx of surveillance cameras in Manhattan. This is in response, of course, to the weekend's attempted car bomb attack in Times Square. (Incidentally, I had walked through Times Square the Sunday morning after the situation trying to find Super Street Fighter IV and was shocked at all the cops walking around. I though they were filming a movie or something because I had no idea anything had happened the night before.) So if you're not cool with being on camera all day long, you had better not visit Manhattan.

    Long time no hear from Tokyo-based USB gadget maker Thanko. The company today announced foot switch pedals [JP] for use with Windows XP, 7 or Vista machines (I am aware this isn't a world's first, but the last Thanko post was too long ago). Just assign any key on your keyboard to one of the pedals, and you won't need your fingers to press that key ever again.

    Like many FPS gamers of a certain age, I started with the WASD keyboard/mouse control system. As such, I have issues with using a controller to play games on a console, and really wish that someone would come out with a keyboard and mouse control system. There's been a few that come close, and the Scorch 360 looks like another also-ran.

  • Assassin’s Creed II DRM proves that Ubisoft hates your guts and wants to beat you up after school

    Assassin’s Creed II DRM proves that Ubisoft hates your guts and wants to beat you up after school

    Posted on February 17, 2010 | No Comments
    Fellow PC gamers: it's time to freak out. You're familiar with Ubisoft's newfangled DRM scheme that requires you be online in order to play its games, right? It's 100 percent as awful as we had thought it would be. PC Gamer recently played Assassin's Creed II, and discovered what a pain the in the ass the DRM really, truly is. Get this: every time you lose your Internet connection the game boots you to the main menu, and all progress made from the last save point is thrown out the window. This isn't an MMO, mind you, but a plain ol' single player game. In other words, no Internet, no game. Bravo, Ubisoft.

    Cellphones will be able play intense 3D games and 1080p video.. at the same time.

    Much of what is coming out of the MWC is still in the concept stage and not available yet, but that doesn't make it any less fun. Take for example the latest Armada chipset from Marvell; it's an ARM based graphic processing package that has enough power to handle hi-res 3D gaming, and 1080p video at the same time.
