PSBox 360


In almost every gaming site there is a certain fight between players of the PS3 and Xbox 360, that’s for sure. Anyone who has two consoles tend not to join the fight because they are well served and play anything that is released. What about you? Have you thought about having both of the last generation consoles? And have you ever thought about having the two consoles together in a single cabinet?

This is what this modder did to
solve this problem. He built some kind of PSBox 360, where he joined the hardware of the two consoles in only one case. With the PSBox it is possible to play Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 simultaneously! Timofiend as he is known on the web, published photos of the work that took about one month to complete, and also aims to provide a step-by-step of what he did for others who have the two consoles and also want to  have a single PSBOX 360!
Now all he needs to do is Add the WII U when it comes out and get the Kinect to control everything. That’s a system I would buy.

Sonic!

Sonic 20th Anniversary
To celebrate the 20 years old of the most beloved porcupine / hedgehog in the world of games, it was released an App for iPhone and iPod Touch where you can play Sonic the Hedgehog 4 and a Sketch version of the game, called Sonic Sketchhog.




With graphics like the original game, this app is the right choice for gamers who played a lot in the old Sonic for many systems. How many rings can you get? This also makes me want to watch that old sonic cartoon.

Diablo 3! Skill tress out.

Check them out here, http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk or here.
Frankly I'm surprised at the lack of total skills compared to d1 and d2. Now granted some low level skills in d2 were only worth putting 1 point in some others say static shock, weapon masteries etc..... were a must have late game.
Now I'm not sure which game came up with the rune spell system first but, well diablo 3's recent change kind of feels like a less well implemented http://www.pathofexile.com/ (path of exile) Rip off.
I like the idea to socket spells to make them your own, but with out different effects for each socket and only having 5 sockets which all pretty much do the same thing. I doubt we will see the same variety of characters we did in d2.
The Witch Doctor does look pretty fun though I must say.
It's looking to shape up to be a nice game, with starcraft 2 well recived, can diablo 3 make the same kind of comeback? Blizzard showed us that they can make old games new and good but the latest WOW expansion was notably bad. With some many high quality games coming out for the Arpg genre (path of exile, Blizzards own SC 2 mods, League of legends, and I'm sure more I forgot that people will tell me about). Though built in from launch PVP with definitively help.

Gizmodo Rates Passive 3D TVs on top!

The Best 3D Technology: Stick with Passive Glasses
Dr. Raymond Soneira of DisplayMate Technologies separates the best smartphone, tablet, HDTV, and multimedia displays from the worst with his Display Technology Shoot-Out series. And his newly crowned 3DTV champion might just give you some major 3D buyer's remorse:"






Sharpness and Resolution with FPR Passive Glasses

By far the most controversial and misunderstood issue in 3D TV currently has to do with the sharpness and resolution delivered with Passive Glasses. Because they split the odd and even lines between the right and left eyes it's easy to see why many people (and some reviewers) conclude that FPR technology delivers only half of the HD resolution. However, 3D images have only horizontal parallax from the horizontally offset cameras, so the vertical image content for the right and left eyes are in fact identical – but with purely horizontal parallax offsets from their different right and left camera viewpoints. So there isn't any 3D imaging information that is missing because all of the necessary vertical resolution and parallax information is available when the brain combines the right and left images into the 3D image we actually see. That is the theory and fundamental principle behind 3D Image Fusion for FPR TVs—so next we actually tested it to see how accurate it is and how sharp the 3D images actually appear.

Starwars in Singapore?


The new Sandcrawler-inspired Singapore headquarters for LucasFilm is straight out of a galaxy far, far away.
Posted on the company's official website, and discovered viaGeekologie, The eight story building, expected to be completed next year, will be the location of a 100 seat theater, a public podium, various conference rooms, as well as the LucasFilm Singapore offices.
The exterior of the headquarters will have a chrome-like appearance, but will be built to allow light into the building and a lush garden will be included for those who wish to take a break from altering your favorite sci-fi movies.

3D gaming glasses


"Hoping to boost sales of its 3D televisions among gamers, LG showed off technology that lets traditional split screen multiplayer games be played full screen.
Called Dual Play, it works by making a 3D display essentially two 2D displays overtop each other: Rather than sending different images to the left and right eyes of one player, it sends different images to the left and right players. One player wears a set of polarized 3D glasses with two left eye lenses andadd the other player wears a set with two right eye lenses. That allows each player to see their own section of the game full screen, but only in 2D."
LG said the technology works with any of its Cinema 3D televisions and the glasses will be included with LW980 televisions, which will ship later this month, according to an LG spokeswoman at the company's booth. She also said that users could make their own Dual Play glasses by just swapping lenses.
The TVs can toggle between a traditional split screen view, or the Dual Play view which, without 3D glasses, looks confusing as two screens are stacked on top of each other.
Though the viewing for games is in 2D it is a lot better than active glasses. Great Job LG on this one though I suspect people have been doing this at home for a while.

Gears of war 3
Take a look at this new trailer for Gears of War 3, the game is still scheduled for Sept. 20, and shows a lot of action going on in the trailers, the game probably will be in the same line of its two predecessors.
Enjoy it!! I know I will lots of good Xbox exclusives coming out this year.

I you have not played the first two I highly Recommend them, they are great you have to play with a friends as it was made for two players. The story and the gameplay for the previous 2 are amazing it’s no wonder they had been rated in the top 5 games of the last 10 years many many times.
