"Entirely New" Pokemon Series Coming This Year -... →
Very exciting and I’ll have something else to play on my DSi XL
iPad Thoughts
The iPad is an interesting device. It is incredibly easy for a lot of sceptics to label it as simply the iPod Touch XL which is valid to a point, but there are a number of things which do help to distinguish this device from it’s smaller cousins, while also avoiding being too simplistic to make it valid as a netbook alternative. I would say that for Apple, this is certainly not a guaranteed...
Happy iPad Day.. or not
To say I’m sceptical about this new device would be an understatement. I just don’t see where the market is, even at a medium to low price for something like this. Even if this thing is a hit, it’s still a niche product in my opinion and will never have anywhere near the appeal of an iPod type product.
Apple have to have some kind of special screen technology akin to e-ink to...

New Pokéwalker™ accessory brings Pokémon training... →
In the past I may have dismissed this as a gimmick, but now I have to say that it is a very good idea for getting people (especially kids) to get more exersize.
The allure of getting extra XP and the ability to find and catch extra pokemon may prove too hard to resist for a lot of players and that’s a really great thing.
Especially for a handheld where a lot of people will have it with...
Editorial: Why I Bought a PS3 - at IGN →
I would say that this is quite a big deal because I remember Ryan Geddes being one of the guys who constantly put Sony down and made fun of the system, it’s many firmware updates, it’s lack of games and huge price tag.
Right now I’m not exactly the biggest Sony fan but I do love the PS3 as a whole and I appreciate what they’ve been doing to improve everything over the last...

Rumor: Apple Tablet Ships in March For $1000? -... →
I think if this thing is $1000 then it will have no chance to be a mass market device and will go all the way up to the high end like the MacBook Pros and the desktops. Even the MacBook is high end now. I feel like they should just not bother making it at the price they’re currently selling it for. It seems like they just flat out refuse to acknowledge the low to medium end market, even if...
British Sales Charts: Just Dance! - Sales Charts -... →
It’s always sad to look at the UK charts because you always know the deal. The market here just seems to not move forward and all you see are old Nintendo games which probably cost them such a small amount to produce, and games like “Just Dance” which in my opinion isn’t even a game, beating sales of amazing games like Uncharted 2.
The fact that Wii Play and Mario Kart Wii...
Scott Pilgrim
I just read the first chapter of the first volume of Scott Pilgrim and I really enjoyed it. It’s one of those comics which pulls you in straight away and really gets you engrossed in the story.
