  • Shock: Graphics being equal, Crysis 2 said to run better on PS3 than Xbox 360 (but best on PC)

    Shock: Graphics being equal, Crysis 2 said to run better on PS3 than Xbox 360 (but best on PC)

    It was only a few days ago that Crytek and EA showed off Crysis 2 to the world's gaming press—and CrunchGear. It looks crazy, yes, and that finely tuned opinion—"it looks crazy"—is based on the Xbox 360 version. But if we believe Crytek's business development boss, then the game runs even better on the PS3 than it does the Xbox 360. The games may look identical, or extraordinarily close to it, but the Xbox 360 is being pushed far harder than the PS3. You probably already knew that, yes.

  • Windows Mobile and Xbox Live coming together, according to Microsoft job ad

    Windows Mobile and Xbox Live coming together, according to Microsoft job ad

    The hints were already pretty strong on this one, but now Microsoft has come right out and said it, albeit in a job posting -- the Xbox Live gaming platform is extending beyond the console and specifically onto WinMo phones. Seeking a Principal Program Manager who would be responsible for bringing "Xbox Live enabled games to Windows Mobile," Redmond is particularly interested in "avatar integration, social interaction, and multi-screen experiences." That leaves an awful lot of room for imagination as to how the two modes of gaming will complement each other, but at least we now (sort of) know that it's going to happen.

    [Thanks, Jessy]

  • A collection of reasonably priced Xbox 360 games

    A collection of reasonably priced Xbox 360 games

    This is the worst time to be a gamer. Yeah, it's great that so many good games have come out recently (take your pick from New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed II, Left 4 Dead 2, etc.), but it's pretty difficult to shell out $60+ every other day in the span of two weeks.

  • Don’t try to steal Nintendo DS games from Wal-Mart

    Don’t try to steal Nintendo DS games from Wal-Mart

    Well this is the dumbest story I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of them! Once upon a time, there was a fugitive in Lee County in Florida. His criminal background—his FourSquare achievements, if you will—included armed robbery and kidnapping. He's thrown in jail in early September, but then breaks out using a fake ID. But then, only a little while later, he's arrested again. Guess what did him in?

  • Review: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360)

    Review: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360)

    Movie licensed games have generally sucked something fierce. Very rarely are any of them ever any good, and the same goes for movies based on videogames. Something gets lost in translation. Development is typically rushed to coincide with simultaneous launches, and gamers are the ones who suffer the most. There are a few diamonds in the rough (X-Men Origins: Wolverine was pretty good), but they’re few and far between. Activision and Luxoflux’s adaption of the second Transformers cinematic masterpiece falls somewhere in between.

    Natal to launch with new Xbox 360 console?

    NatalStart up the rumor engine, ladies and gentlemen. 1UP.com is reporting that Microsoft's Project Natal may actually be shipping integrated into a new console next fall. From the sounds of it, though, the console won't be new as in different but new as in improved slightly. That is, new games would apparently work on both the current Xbox 360 console and "Xbox Natal" as it's being unofficially called.
