The PS3 started as a promising super game machine. As a real product, it developed into a mildly accepted new game console. In a way the PS3 together with Blu-ray discs and Windows Vista are the great disappointments of recent years. The later two however are near monopolies, while Sony has to beat the Wii [...]
Let’s make it clear it clear from the start. I am not a hardcore gamer. So when it comes to violent games I am not hardened enough to ignore extreme violence and non ethical behaviour. But at the same time I recognise computer games as a full blown type of recreation and try to at [...]
A couple of days back I wrote about how the PC remains the best gaming platform. In a recent 10 year anniversary event of Polyphony Digital in New York there was demo hardware for the upcoming Gran Turismo 5 that could well be a glimpse into the future of gaming.

Further to our post yesterday on PC game piracy and the tendency towards online downloads and online gaming, EA’s confirmation of the changes to come arrives in the form of its new Battlefield iteration. Unlike the traditional model, the idea here is to give gamers the software online for free but get revenue as they pay for cool equipment and clothes [...]
