We have recently posted some news about the so called PlayStation Phone, which is also known as the Sony Zeus Z1. This has been followed up by some videos and then details of a few photos which have been revealed of this keenly awaited gaming device. The fact that Sony hasn’t made any official announcement about it yet hasn’t stopped rumour after rumour sweeping the web, and the question is working out which ones to believe and which to disregard for the moment. At this time, the most believable sounding piece of “information”...
We mentioned a couple of days ago about how a preview video of the alleged new PlayStation Phone had increased speculation over the existence of this device to new levels amongst gaming fans. The people are Sony are still keeping tight lipped about whether this machine actually exists or not but a new development which has caused a sensation is the appearance of a Chinese language review of the phone with lots of photos. As well as the photos there are plenty of details on the site but what isn’t clear is whether it is the same PlayStation...
Nintendo recently caused a bit of a stir with its health warning on the new 3DS gaming machines which are due out shortly. They advised that children under 6 should refrain from using the system’s 3D feature in order to avoid potential damage to their eyes. This has led to a fair bit of criticism being aimed at the Japanese console giant, already reeling from negative public opinion on the device’s recently announced battery life, and their CEO Satoru Iwata has just come out to defend the company’s stance on the matter. Iwata’s...
The Nintendo 3DS is due to go on sale in Japan next month and March for other places. The many people who have been eagerly awaiting its launch have just been given a rather bitter pill to swallow, first came the 30 minute usage time warning and now the revelation of short battery life. The battery life on the new machine is the issue which is going to surprise a lot of people. The original DS gave you between 10 and 14 hours of play time and the DS Lite 15 to 19 hours. On the basis of these figures we all really expected a similar sort...

The Nintendo 3DS is set to hit the shops next year after a long wait with families all over the world hoping to get their hands on the latest handheld gaming device. However, parents who thought they might purchase the 3DS for their children need to be aware that it carries an age restriction and a few choice usage warnings – what a way to start a marketing drive. Nintendo issued a statement on their Japanese website that explained children under the age of six should not use the 3D mode on the 3DS. This is due to their eyes not being...
The brand new Nintendo 3DS might only be months away but that doesn’t mean the rumours around the handheld, glasses free 3D gaming device. The guys over at Kotaku have leaked some info that they sourced direct from Macronix – the company who manufacture the game cartridges for Ninty. They speculate that the 3DS cartridges will have up to 8GB in storage, perhaps to cope with the complexity required to produce 3D or maybe the games are just bigger – time will tell. Kotaku did also reveal that the ‘maximum’ capacity of 8GB would...
Ubisoft has said that the level of demand for 3D gaming is such that it predicts every home will have 3DTV installed by the year 2013. However, research has shown if this is the case then a reasonable amount of them will be largely unused as 12% of all Brits are unable to see 3DTV in all its glory. What’s more, according to a report in the Telegraph, Samsung announced a couple of months ago that its 3D TV sets (and 3D TV in general) could be harmful to those suffering from epilepsy as well as pregnant women, the elderly, and children....
A new PC from Acer designed to entice the hardcore gaming crowd has been launched and the aptly named addition to the Predator range is certainly not for the casual user. The new Predator shares the admittedly garish case of its stable mates, complete with a hinged front panel that resembles an alien battle mask and covers the bright orange face plate in a more reserved black. Inside an Intel quad core i7 processor running at 2.8GHz lurks and its partnership with 12GB of DDR3 RAM and an NVIDIA 470 GTX graphics card make it suitably powerful...
