So Apple has unveiled its highly anticipated iOS 7 at WWDC. The latest iteration of what Steve Jobs once claimed to be ‘5 years ahead of any other phone’, is what Tim Cook is now calling, 5 years later, ‘the biggest change to the platform since the iPhone’. iOS 7 is a completely redesigned experience…
Dear Xbox, I think we need to start seeing other people. Well, you need to maybe start seeing other people and I need to start seeing other consoles. You’re a great franchise of consoles. It’s just, after your One reveal, then your E3 conference and then seeing Sony’s E3 press conference, I really feel that…
After the Xbox One Launch: Me: “Help me, E3 Microsoft Press Conference, you’re my only hope” Microsoft Press Conference: “I find your lack of faith disturbing” Then, I choked on sadness (and the shame of mixing of Star Wars quotes so badly). Xbox One: Is it THE One? If the Xbox One launch caste a…
Alright everyone, now that I’ve tackled the Xbox One reveal at E3, I think it’s time to move onto the Playstation 4. It seems that Sony decided to play it smart this year with their console release and took advantage of being the later of the two companies to reveal their console by taking some…
In a much-belated move timed with E3, Dell announced the entire Alienware laptop lineup is being refreshed with the introduction of Intel’s 4th generation Haswell CPUs. This is a relatively big deal, considering the M14x, M17x, and M18x (yes, there’s an 18-inch laptop out there) haven’t been redesigned since their release back in 2009. Each…
Before I get started gushing about how happy I am, I would like to let you all know that I am a twenty year old with an arguably deep voice and an entirely normal upbringing, and I just squealed like a little girl getting her first Barbie doll. Super Smash Bros. Arrives Cross-Console At E3…
In recent months it’s been pretty impossible to escape all of the sexism talk surrounding the video game culture. It seems as if the game industry really dislikes the idea of women gamers, for some reason. On a regular basis I read a story about the industry that has “sexism” in it’s title. In 2011,…
Now that E3 is here we are getting even more information about the next generation consoles, the PS4 and the Xbox One. With that plethora of information comes good will. New consoles are coming! New consoles are coming! The Xbox One, especially, looks to be turning gaming on its head with some of its features….
Earlier today Microsoft announced that they still have big plans for the Xbox 360 despite the coming of the next generation. During their E3 conference, Microsoft set aside a few minutes to take a break from showing off their beautifully presented next generation games to answer a question that has been on the tip of…
Today at E3 Microsoft revealed to us unwashed masses, the price point of the new Xbox One. How lucky we are to get such a fantastic machine at only 500 dollars! If you think the US is lucky then you’ll be jealous of me. I get to pay 428 pounds, that’s about 667 dollars at…
Have you stopped crying yet from the “Red Wedding” last week? It definitely took me some time. But Game of Thrones doesn’t leave us with such tragedy during the long off-season. Instead we got this week’s season finale, which wrapped up stories and ultimately gave us a ton of questions to mull over until next…
Samsung apparently can’t wait until its Premiere 2013 event to launch its handsets. The company is already on an unveiling spree – having announced the Galaxy S4 Mini and Galaxy S4 Active. Now, yet another handset has been revealed – the budget-friendly Galaxy Ace 3. Measuring 121.2 x 62.7 x 9.8 mm, the Galaxy Ace…
If you thought ‘Gangnam Style’ was actually a song about giant robots, then you already know what Gundam is. You might also be aware that Gunpla World Cup 2013, like Winter, is coming. In December. (Unless you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, then that doesn’t make seasonal sense). For the uninitiated, what is Gundam? Uhhh, they’re…
Security researchers at Kaspersky have discovered what appears to be the most advanced form of malware to hit the Android OS yet. Called Backdoor.AndroidOS.Obad.a, the malware is said to be capable of many malicious actions that only malware on Windows or Mac OS X have been able to pull off. Obad.a sets up a backdoor…
Another Gran Turismo game is on the horizon, and once again all the talk is of the details; ultra-realistic sun glare here, true-to-life body roll there. Standard Gran Turismo, and that’s great. But I’m torn. Gran Turismo is like my nerdy best mate, but all he wants to do these days is sit in his…
