Toy Story 3: The Video Game: The Developer Diary
You probably don't want to write off Toy Story 3 just because it's a licensed title. We actually had a lot of fun with it and the latest dev diary above shows that Disney and Avalanche are committed to putting out a quality product. It's not simply a slapped together title attempting to cash in on the movie.
There's an actual deep experience here, from the promising platforming shown in the video above, down to the unique character abilities and meticulously recreated ...
Samsung LiMo-powered i8330 leaks, to be called Vodafone H2

Another day, another leak, right? Next up we have the Samsung LiMo-R3 -powered i8330. The device will form part of the Vodafone 360 lineup in Europe, and will be known as the H2. The specs so far seem decent, with a 1GHz Cortex A8 processor, an 800
Playstation Move may be coming in July

I remember posting that the Sony Playstation Move was scheduled for release in September, but recent information has surfaced saying it is due as early as July.
I am assuming that this is made in response to Project Natal’s early release date, and perhaps the Move is planned to make such a huge splash at E3 that people will want it, badly.
I’m planning on being at E3, and they had better let me try it out. ...
Check out the ‘vue’ at this Florida Ritz-Carlton resort

With airport security so unpredictable these days, it's just not safe to travel with your consoles anymore. So why travel at all? It's a question that The Ritz-Carlton resort in Naples, Fla. has tried to answer with the introduction of its new "vue."
That's right -- it would seem that the "dazzling" views of the Gulf of Mexico just aren't engaging enough for today's vacationer, so the hotel has constructed a "virtual user experience." ...
Japanese hardware sales, April 12 – April 18: Dry spell edition

Poor, poor April. After a quarter of pretty enormous video game releases, we've seen a noticeable slowdown over the past 25 days. Normally, we'd relish the opportunity to get caught up on the surplus the past few months have brought us, but ... well, we miss the action! The excitement! The variety! The occasional disappointment!
In an attempt to recapture these raw emotions, we've been forced to seek out other hobbies with even more frequent additions. Like, for instance, comic books. There's new ...

Katie and Sebastian are just two children who love to explore. They're fascinated by creatures, plants, and their respective taxonomies. They're charming and relatable! And then there's the giant mechanical squid. I won't ruin the short for you; The Anachronism is more than worth the 15 minutes you need to set aside to watch it. It's haunting, and evokes the best elements of the Steampunk (...
Trine gets free DLC with Steam patch, Frozenbyte ‘not sure’ if it’s heading to PS3

This weekend, while you were working on the wizard outfit that will finally complete your cosplay group's Trine collective, Steam was busy updating the PC version of the game with free content. According to the Steam news page, Trine received a free DLC level named "Path to New Dawn" as a post-completion bonus this past Sunday. Additionally, a handful of minor updates were made to the game itself, ranging from new information on "experience and ...

After promising the addition of fancy day-night cycles to its dignified open-world driving game, Eden Games has delivered the cold, moonlit proof in a new batch of Test Drive Unlimited 2 screenshots. You see that shot above? There's the night cycle, clear as day. And all it took was for one of the designers to double-click on the sun and press "delete."

The User’s Manifesto: in defense of hacking, modding, and jailbreaking

There’s a trend that’s been disturbing me lately. When the topic of modding or jailbreaking comes up — say, in the wake of the iPad announcement , or Sony’s restrictive PS3 update — there is an outcry. Who am I to tell Apple what’s best for their devices? How can I in good conscience urge others to void their warranties or break license agreements? And why should anyone care when only a small proportion of people hack or jailbreak their devices? These questions are natural, because a ...
Light Beam coffee table looks ready to explode with light

The Light Beam coffee table is packed with thousands of little LED lights, lights that are able to have their colors changed on the fly. Made of reclaimed teak packed in resin, it was apparently inspired by railway sleepers. But to me it just looks like a table from the future, if in the future we want our tables to be the center of attention in whatever room they've been placed in.
There's no word on ...
