First Nyko Wireless Wii Sensor Bar Review: Better than Homebrew

I don’t know why I keep giving IGN’s queen of the ivy league, Gerry Block, exposure. I should be doing the opposite, shielding loyal readers from his hijinx and dearth of wholesome personality. But here he is, using his $160,000 dollar Columbia education to scoop a Wireless Wii sensor bar by Nyko. GBlock, your parents…

Nintendo Wii Phone Rumor: Pure Unicorn Fantasy, but What a Photochop

T3 found a patent for a Nintendo gaming phone. Could it be a voip channel on the Wii, using the Wiimote as a handset? Maybe. I’m not getting my feathers riled up on this one, though. What is getting me randy is that photochop job on the left, based on the patent art. Me likey!…

Poppin’ Joystick Makes Cellphone Gaming Easier

One of the biggest things keeping cell phone games from being anything more than a nice distraction while you’re on the can at work is the fact that those button layouts flat-out suck for gaming. I once excitedly downloaded Mega Man to my V710 (note to self: get a new phone) only to discover it…

Guitar Hero Coming to the Wii

Activision’s CEO confirmed that the music-emulating Guitar Hero will be making its way to the Nintendo Wii. That is interesting an all, but this brings up further questions about the hardware that will accompany the game on the Wii. Surely Activision has something up their sleeve to incorporate the WiiMote into a guitar similar to…

OS X Looking to Become a Gaming Heavyweight

When it comes to gaming, PCs blow away their Mac counterparts. There’s no doubt about that. But the PC’s edge could be a thing of the past if TransGaming and Nvidia have it their way. Together, they’re working on a way to bring PC games to the Mac the second they’re released. They reckon they…

It’s not the first time we’ve heard rumblings of a new Xbox 360, but apparently this time around it’s pretty close to official. A store in Australia has confirmed that Microsoft reps have been showing a new line of black 360s with 120GB hard drives. Rumor has it the new 360s will also have HDMI.…

Pelican’s Xbox 360 Air Flo Cooler is a Port-a-Holic

The Xbox 360 runs hot, so all those silly aftermarket fans came in useful after all. But never as useful as this multiport, Xbox cooler. IGN gear’s Mohawk’d Gerry Block (He went to Columbia, which had an 8% acceptance rate, but its not a big deal to him) says the Air Flo has composite, s-video,…

Pissed Off Gamers Ready to Sue Nvidia Over Crap Vista Drivers

Last time we checked in on Nvidia, they had yet to release final (i.e. not beta) Vista drivers for their GeForce 8000 series cards. Well, it seems like the Vista gaming community is mad and tired of waiting. They’ve launched a website threatening to file a class action lawsuit against Nvidia if they don’t get…

Dell Says No to Gaming Handheld Rumors

So it looks like Dell is backpedaling a little bit today—denying earlier rumors of a secret portable gaming console. They recently told the folks at Reg Hardware that they have “no plans to launch a Gaming handheld at this time.” Wishful thinkers could interpret that as “it probably won’t come out till late Q3,” but…

Xbox 360 Gets a New, Quieter Drive

Good news if you’re in the market for a new 360. Microsoft is putting an end to all those “my 360 is too loud” complaints. They’ve stopped using the Toshiba-Samsung and Hitachi-LG drives (found inside current 360s) and have started replacing them with BenQ’s quieter VAD6038, which is based on a Philips design. The new…

Nintendo Giving the Wii a Paint Job

Seems like the folks at GameDrift got an “anonymous Nintendo rep” to confirm that new colored Wiis are heading our way, particularly in red and black. This seems to jive with earlier rumblings of new colored Wiimotes, which gets our hopes up very high. Unfortunately, the anonymous rep forgot to reveal availability, so we’ll just…

Thanks to the fact that current Xbox 360 memory cards only hold 64MB and the Xbox Live Arcade game Castlevania: Symphony of the Night weighs in at 97MB, Microsoft had to do something. That something?
