The Future of Gaming

October 1st, 2007 @ 17:03 by Willem

Anyone who keeps (a bit) up with the world of computer gaming knows about the release about the new XBox360 game Halo3. Yet another game which appears on my list to buy if, and when, I get a XBox360 Elite.
Other titles on the list are BioShock, and Gears of War. But after seeing this video, I wonder….. should I buy the game and help in creating the apocalypse halocast….


At least we end up with the greatest game of all time :)

Sony Limits PS2 Compatibility on PS3

February 24th, 2007 @ 20:11 by Willem

The great thing about the current game consoles is that people who have (owned) an older version still can play their games. most XBox games run on the XBox 360. Nintendo also offers great backwards compatibility on their Wii.

Sony has to be the one company who differs. The current PS3 (sold in the US and Japan) offer backwards compatibility with PS2 games (to some extend). The PS3 which will be available in Europe will have a different ‘engine’. This means that backwards compatibility is much less.

Way to go Sony. This means that the current PS2 owners have to keep their PS2 as well….

I’m stil in the orientation phase in deciding which console (Xbox360, Nintendo Wii or the PS3) I should buy, when I get my new HD-TV. I guess that PS3 is dropping a few places with this strategy, cause older games come cheap and can still offer lot’s of fun.

A study by the University of Rochester shows that playing action games on the computer improves the eyesight…. Better start gaming again then :-)

Gears of War

November 22nd, 2006 @ 19:55 by Willem

Never had the urge of buying a console. No Playstations, Xboxes or whatever for me. Always enjoyed playing games behind my desk on my 1337 gaming PC…. untill now.

There’s a new game available for the XBox-360. It’s called Gears of War, and it looks awesome. Perhaps I need to adjust my opinion on gaming consoles. The official trailer can be viewed here.
