This is not really official, and I don't think we'll see this in stores soon. As you know, designers are going for simplicity.

20 Old School Atari Games

The Atari era was fun. I remember the time when Atari 2600 was the ultimate gaming console. Those were the times when PacMan ruled the world. Good old times. Christopher Bird took several classic Atari game covers and renamed them with more accurate titles.






















Transformers: Fall of Cybertron



Enjoy this amazing trailer of the incredible new game Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. These special effects have stunned the fans gathered at the Spike Video Game Awards.



I believe that the Fall of Cybertron will be a sort of Batman: Arkham Asylum for human psychology. This game will be so good that when will be launched, all other Transformers games will be forgotten, giving the franchise the respect that it deserves. By the way, the song of the trailer is simply insane.

Next Kinect can read lips and measure emotions [rumor]



It seems that rumors began to emerge about a new Microsoft product. I've gathered the available that, and many say that will be called or Xbox 720 or Xbox Loop.

The new console will be available in two models: one for common users and one for hardcore gamers. The new Xbox will feature an extremely sensitive motion sensor and a voice recognition unit. It will be sufficiently precise that it can read lips, to follow the movement of fingers and will be able to grasp the tone of voice, thus detecting players' emotions.

The current version has undergone upgrades to improve the quality of the camera. Microsoft recently released Kinect Avatar that allows tracking movement on lips and eyebrows. There are all sorts of rumors that Microsoft aims to develop a new technology that allows finger tracking for the next version of Kinect. Probably the current will be enhanced. It is rumored that Microsoft would use Kinect Thunderbolt or USB 3.0 interface 2.

They hope the new Kinect will be released with Windows 8 early next year.

Modern Warfare 3 vs. Battlefield

I was looking for a new game for my XBox 360. It was not an easy choice, because there are so many good and bad reviews. After reading about these games and watching video reviews, I came to this conclusion:


And here is a serious comparison Modern Warfare 3 vs. Battlefield provided by IGN



Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 [trailer]

It seems that people at Activision don't want to be below people at DICE. They released the trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has a beautiful story, just like its predecessors. Even if the multiplayer does not bring anything new, the single player campaign seems to be more than interesting.

Spoilers: The French are loosing Eiffel Tower.

The Evolution of Video Games



I've been watching MysteryGuitarMan (Joe Penna) on youtube for a while. He combines his own music videos with technology-related videos and making-of videos that will keep you on his youtube channel all day.

Video description: What happened every 20 years in gaming. No cuts.
I saw the making of for this one and it was like crazy. That's why you need to watch the video twice and observe how things appear and disappear in the background.

The smallest Space Invaders machine



If you grew up in the 80s you know that this will bring back some good old memories. Back in the days arcade games were so big that everyone loved to spend quarter after quarter playing their favorite game. This Space Invaders miniature game sends chills down your spine. It could be the smallest arcade game in the world.

The measures of this small Space Invaders machine are 7″ x 3.5″ x 4.5″. The project was build using parts from a Game Boy Advanced SP, so other games could be played on this mini-arcade-machine. Are you ready to beat it?

Wii Remote hacks by Johnny Lee




I love how Johnny Lee managed to work outside the box hacking the wii remote hacks. I think we'll be seeing pretty cool gadgetds in the future. The multitouch matrix was amazong, but the 3D effect blew my mind.

History of Mobile Gaming

Do you remember the original GameBoy? That was a massive success. Did you know it had a CPU of 8-bit Z80 CMOS (4.19MHz) and 8KB of ram? Man that was a blast. I still remember me playing Tetris on that amazing mobile gaming platform. Right now I can play tons of games on my iPhone 4, or my PSP.

Kinect with Windows Phone 7 (video)

This is a demo straight from Microsoft letting us know that big things are coming in the future. You can see Windows Phone 7 connected directly to your Kinect. This comes shorty after Nokia and Microsoft just tied an agreement, meaning Microsoft is ready to take over the phone market. If this would be available to the general public, it would increase the numbers of Kinect players that are able to play in the same time.

Sudoku is so real on the iPad


Sudoku Game has a nenchanting story. "Su" stands for number in Japanese, and "Doku" relates to the individual place on the puzzle board that each number can fit into. Besides this, it implies someone who's separate—so, one way to depict the game is "Solitaire with numbers." While its name is Japanese, its ancestries are in reality European and American, and the game symbolises the best of both cultures. Contrary to several other games, Sudoku's evolution exposes it to be a true hybrid conception.

I'm a long time Sudoku fan, so I was pleased to come across this amazing app for iPad and iPhone. Sudoku Real Edition for the iPad Is not about reinventing this amazing puzzle game, it’s more or less about the feeling. When I played it for the first time it was just like actually playing Sudoku on a real book.


It features extremely detailed graphics and animations to put the iPad’s great video resolution to work. What's interesting about this version of Sudoku is that all of the important graphical elements in the game are real-life items that were photographed to supply a more naturalistic feel. Animations and sound effects have also been simulated after a real book. They aspired to absorb you even further by supplying small touches to the Sudoku game, like rather than admitting a pause screen, Sudoku Real Edition has a digital bookmark that slips into place.

All you XBox owners out there I have good news for you. The saga continues: Gears of War 3 is available for pre-order on Amazon.


Gears of War 3 is the outstanding finale to one of the most unforgettable and famous sagas in videogames history (so far). This amazing video game was developed only for Xbox 360 and it absorbs players into a agonising story of hope, endurance and fraternity. In Gears of War 3, players fight on as Marcus Fenix, the grizzled war hero and leader of Delta Squad. 18 months after the capitulation of the last human city, the war versus the Locust rages on. In the meantime, deep below the surface, an awful new menace is infecting the planet from within. With survivors confused and civilization in ruins, there is no time for Marcus and his companions as they battle to salvage the human race.

PSP Movie Dock and Music Amp

I love my PSP and I love to play games on it every time I have a break from job.But sometimes I'm on a trip and all I want to do is watch some movies on the road. For that purpose, Movie Dock or Music Amp are the best choice.


You'll find that PlayGear Amp from Logitech is not the cheapest solution, but is the best sound you'll ever get on your PSP. Some of you will notice that this sound system is even better than those you are using on your computer. The entire system folds up and fits in the carrying case which is included. Buyers from Amazon recommend this for anyone wanting to hear excellent sound from their PSP without having to wear headphones. The package includes the unit itself, an AC power adapter (the system also runs on 4 AAA batteries), the PSP cradle, one short cable, one 3 foot cable, and the carrying case.



PSP Movie Dock is the cheapest one that still included a remote. It's not as classy as Music Amp, but it will get the job done for the money! The dock itself can run off of the PSP battery, 4 AAAs, or the power/car plug. The sound quality is decent for the money, and you won't regret you bought it.
