There’s nothing like the first time you bought/unwrapped one of the best video game consoles you ever owned. The new plastic smell. The feel of a brand new controller.
The first hum of an unfamiliar start-up sequence. The experience of getting new video game consoles is a gamer’s nirvana. Let’s look back and fondly remember all of the video game consoles that made us smile and/or cringe upon playing them.
These are the Top 10 Video Game Consoles of all time. Read the rest of this entry »

The last rendition we saw of the GAEMS console-carrying case looked more like a giant lunch box than a solution to your portable gaming needs.
If you’re still interested in bringing your Xbox 360 on the road, the company has redesigned the case and it now supports the fat and slim versions of the 360 and even the PS3-skinny.
What’s new in this compact carrying case is the fact there’s actually room to store the console, controllers and power brick. It comes bundled with a remote, HDMI cable and power supply to power the speakers and LED screen.
If you’re road trippin’ any time soon and want this beast, you can save yourself 20 bones by pre-ordering before April 20th and you’ll receive the $300 case come June.

Admit it, you know you want one of those wild N-Control Avenger controller attachments: there’s no shame in that, we want one too!
The so-called “Exo-Suit” — which we checked out at CES — gives your Xbox controller an overhaul, and it is now officially shipping.
The little unit will run you $39.99, so you can hit up the source link if that’s what you’re into.

Say it with us, finally a PS3 firmware update that actually does something useful! We’ve grown so accustomed to Sony refreshing the software on its console just to spite jailbreakers that we almost started to believe that’s all the word “update” entailed.
But, here comes Kotaku with word that v3.6 of the PS3′s firmware will come with a neat little addition: saving games to the cloud.
This seems a very logical step toward delivering Sony’s overall goal of giving users a holistic, integrated experience. Indeed, during the NGP presentation, guest speaker Hideo Kojima specifically referred to saving your PS3 game on the console and resuming it on the Next Generation Portable.
“Online Saving,” as Sony’s reputed to be calling it, would be the conduit through which that can be realized, though it doesn’t appear like it’ll come for free. Kotaku‘s sources indicate it’ll be part of the PlayStation Plus subscription, at least initially. Still, we like cloud storage, and if it means never having to see another hard drive again, we’re all for it.

Well, it’s not exactly the announcement we were hoping for following Razer’s impressive showing at CES earlier this month, but the company has just gotten official with another product that will soon be available: its new Ferox portable gaming speakers.
Described as a “sophisticated, modern day boombox for gamers,” the speakers promise to deliver some “room-filling,” 360 degree omni-directional sound, 12 hours of battery life from the built-in rechargeable batteries and, of course, full compatibility with anything sporting a 3.5mm jack.

Peanut butter and jelly. Gin and tonic. Peaches and cream. Some strange combinations make perfect sense paired, but how about the mouse and the PC gamepad?
Those two items are what a Hong Kong peripheral manufacturer decided to combine, and the result was the Shogun Bros.
Chameleon X-1 — a gaming mouse you can flip to find twelve buttons and two miniature analog sticks on the bottom.
It works as a gamepad, sure enough, and functions as a one-handed multimedia remote too. But is it any good? We’ve used it as our primary peripheral for over a week, and after the break, we’ll tell you. Read the rest of this entry »

So you do your research, you read up on everything important about the PS3′s new Move controller, and you consider yourself well prepared for a future of wild merrymaking and multiplayer gaming parties.
And then you find out you can’t use four full sets of controllers with your console. As it turns out, the PS3′s Bluetooth module is only fit to address up to seven wireless devices at a time, which poses something of a puzzler when you consider that you need a pair of Move controllers (or a Move plus a sub-controller) to get your money’s worth and four times two is, well, a number greater than seven.
Perturbed by this, Gizmodo contacted Sony for an official response and the news gets even worse: Read the rest of this entry »

Chinese designer Daizi Zheng has created a mobile phone that uses sweet drinks like Coca Cola instead of lithium batteries.
Zheng has been working on this revolutionary device for Finnish cellphone giant Nokia, and claims he has come up with a way of using sugar-based drinks to power mobiles.
Any sweet drink, even sugar-sweetened water would be enough to keep the phone running much longer than lithium batteries. Read the rest of this entry »

Cool, but also kinda funny, because although this list has like half a dozen different Atari 2600 models, mentioning that their differences are important to a collector, it only shows one NES, while I know for a fact there were at least two versions of that console. Still, very neat.
You will see a compilation of more than 100 video game consoles. There are also computers in this series but they could play video games too and some people used them more for gaming than anything else at the time… You will find in this list portable consoles, accessories, packages…etc too! It should bring back memories even to the oldest of you.
A great list. Enjoy! Read the rest of this entry »

Following on from Keith’s PS3 festive top 10 comes the Xbox 360 list. Remember these are suggestions on what to buy this Christmas so the list is mainly focused on recent-ish releases. Anyway, let’s go. In no particular order these are the Gamesblog Top 10 Xbox 360 games to buy this Christmas…
Fifa 10 / PES 2010
Ah, the great football game debate. I really couldn’t choose between them and which ever one you decide on your footy-loving 360 owner should be happy. Having said that there are some differences. Fifa is slower, more methodical and more realistic. It also has all the right teams and players, even if the likenesses are still scarily off at times. PES has better player likenesses and animations but more importantly plays a faster more fluid game on the pitch. Fifa has more online options, PES has more exciting goalmouth scrambles. I’d still go with PES if I really had to choose but this one is too close to call. Read the rest of this entry »
