Hell’s Highway Hand’s On at Gearbox Party

I got invited to Gearbox Software’s Victory Party to celebrate their two upcoming games Brothers In Arms: Hell’s Highway and Samba de Amigo (Wii).  There’s nothing like a little gaming mixed with some music, women, DJ Jazzy Jeff and partying.  I had VIP status so I got to chill in the VIP room and get some [...]

E3 2008 Highlights Recap

The sun has set on this year’s E3 and it’s now time to name the winners, losers and what the best of the show was.  All this of course is according to little old me.  So let’s start this week off with a look back to what July 14-17 brought to the gaming world. Microsoft [...]

June NPD Sales – PlayStation 3 Soars

I suppose an eye patch wearing hero can indeed make a difference in hardware sales much moreso than any foreign gangster could.  Metal Gear Solid 4 helped the PlayStation 3 pull off its largest monthly win to date over the Xbox 360.  MGS 4 was the highest selling game for the month. The PS3 managed [...]

NPD Sales May 2008

Because I know you all like numbers so much, here are the latest NPD sales for hardware and software for May.  I shall make no ill statements concerning the Nintendo Wii.  I’ll just accept the fact that it is a monster and there are apparently a lot of gamers interested in getting fit. And as [...]

Call Me An Analyst – What Lies Ahead?

How much more do these “analysts” know than the average gamer?  Are they paid on what they can “predict” or are they paid on who they get to listen?  Who pays these guys anyway?  Anyone can predict change in the industry and I’m willing to bet that it doesn’t take any fancy degree or any [...]

NPD Sales April; Wii is Mind Bottling

Okay, honestly. What the (insert choice 4-letter word) is going on with the Nintendo Wii’s hardware sales? Who is still buying this thing and when is Nintendo going to stop with the “we’re low on supply” response?  It’s completely mind bottling!  The Wii continues to do it’s best Incredible Hulk impression by seriously crushing the [...]

Microsoft prepares Xboxmote to beat Wiimote?

I’ve heard and read some strange stories coming out of Microsoft before but this one is a real doozie.  According to sources at MTV News, Microsoft has been developing its own answer to the Wiimote for the Xbox 360.  No it’s not called the Xmote or Xboxmote but it’s supposedly going to offer all the [...]

NPD Sales February 2008

While the supposed shortages continue, the Xbox 360 still manages to perform well in any other area beyond hardware.  For the second consecutive month, the Xbox 360 remained last in consoles sold with 255,000 in February.  However, that didn’t stop the software machine from dominating another Top 10 in software sales. Microsoft also shared their [...]

NPD Sales January 2008

Prepare for massive amounts of “what the hell” as January’s NPD numbers make their way around the interweb with a surprisingly last place finish for the Xbox 360.  Yes that means that the PlayStation 3 outsold the Xbox 360 during the month of January by an amazing 41,000 units.  As it turns out just about everything outsold the Xbox 360 last [...]
