This is good news, earlier the PS3 was a Blu Ray Player, a Media center, an awesome gaming console as well a Linux operating hardware, but now it has another feature, its also a Nintendo Wii (almost). There is no doubting the Nintendo Wii and its commendable performance, but the Wii has limitations.
The PS3 on the other hand has loads of features and with an apparent Break-apart controller on its way, it will add yet another unique attribute to its list. As per a report on gameindustry.biz:
Sony Computer Entertainment is working on a new controller for the PlayStation 3, which features the ability to ‘break apart’ into two separate units, each of which contains an accelerometer for ‘Wiimote-like’ motion-sensing functionality, GamesIndustry.biz understands.
It’s not clear when the pad will be officially announced, but it is believed that working units have already been supplied to certain developer partners, according to sources.
The potential for new game types to be developed with the additional motion-sensing functionality should open up the PlayStation 3 to the sorts of gaming audiences that the Nintendo has been so successful at gathering with its Wii console.
Check out the Wii in action below:

You know the situation, when something so stupid happens, you don’t know if you should laugh or frown. The following story will put you in a similar dilemma. Rev. Richard Patrick believes that all games are behind crimes and making criminals outof the youth, and that they should be burned.
I can imagine him standing over a heap of video games, shouting out to the dvds below,” Burn in hell, you spawn of Satan”. You know why don’t we read his own words:
We are considering having something similar to a rally where parents and children can bring CDs and video games that they consider are destructive to the mind set of our youth and have a burning, just like they had a gun buyback last year…
Young people are being influenced by what they see and what they hear. They are being influenced by television … television and videos are telling young people a vision but something that’s not reality…
[Violent media] has a tremendous influence on young people and violence. That’s basically all they see. Most of them try to emulate what they see, when in reality, the people they see don’t even live in those communities. Some of the rappers they see on TV portraying crime don’t live in the urban areas — they live in the suburbs somewhere. It’s all a facade.
I will not defend our community nor will I debate over the influence of games on young minds. My question is that were people not killing each other in the early sixties, were young people not turning to drugs before. Video games present an alternate reality, where anything is possible, but its up to you, you can take it positively or go stealing cars because Niko Bellic does it. Debates aside, this will be one expensive camp fire.

Yes you read right, the scourge of gamerkind has finally been smite down by the holy banhammer of the law. Being the verbose bulk of fail that he is, he stormed out of court during his disciplinary hearing as the Judge refused to hear him recite his LOTR -length objection letter as well as arguing about the position of the podium. The court recommends the disbarment of his career for 10 years.
Let me give you a moment to process that, a forty-ish something lawyer arguing about the position of the podium. For more laughs, check out his sincere objection letter here.
Don’t worry Jack, we in India need someone to rein in the censor board. Go for it.
Awhile back we posted the news about developers BioWare using copy protection methods on the PC version of Mass Effect that were the virtual equivalent of telling users they were damned criminals. Luckily PC gamers are the vociferous type and BioWare has heard their voice (and perhaps the sound of money they’d miss out on).
According to BioWare’s FAQ:
Q: What is the difference between the old PC disc authentication solution and the new online model?
A: Two things have changed:
• First, authentication of discs has now gone from the physical format to the online format, freeing the need for consumers to have a disc in the drive at all times.
• Second, with online authentication consumers now connect to the Internet the first time the game is launched and are required only to reconnect if they are downloading new game content.
While it’s great to see the consumers come up on top this time, we wonder if Will Wright’s highly anticipated Spore will follow suit.
We all love the PS2 and we love playing as Kratos on the PS2, the lead protagonist from God of War is an icon for PS2 gamers worldwide. it looks like Kratos will soon have some competition, a game on the original Indian superhero aka Lord Hanuman is currently in development. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, as many Indian studios are developing games with local content. As per a report on Angrypixel.com:
Pyramid Saimira and Aurona Technologies (in collaboration with Sony Entertainment) are up for the task, and they’ll be summoning the Monkey God himself, Lord Hanuman. According to AnimationXpress’ Money Sharma:Pyramid Saimira with its gaming arm Aurona, will develop game on Lord Hanuman, titled as ‘Hanuman’. Currently in the development stage, the game will portray some part of epic Ramayana and is slated for late 2008 release. The action adventure game is a role playing game and is being worked at Aurona’s Hyderabad studio with close to 60 artists working on it.
… Aurona Technologies Business Development Director Hetal Bhuva shared, ‘Our objective behind having collaboration with Sony is to explore the Indian gaming market and Indian content. The Hanuman game will be targeted at kids of age group of 6 – 16 worldwide, who are familiar with the Indian culture and mythology and can easily relate to it.’
Lets hope that this game does well in the market, as it will lead to better games with local content, GTA Bombay isn’t far away.
This is a very unusual story and one that needs to be shared with the world. We all keep hearing about how kids get engrossed in games and don’t do thier household chores, a very common scenario. But I read this interesting story on Descrutoid.com and had to share it.
“The boy was expected to perform chores, but he had other ideas. Rather than do something to earn his sordid keep, he decided instead to break the vacuum cleaner so he didn’t have to do any work. Well, his mother decided that an eye was worth an eye, and is now selling his Xbox 360 to pay for it:
“My son seems to think everything should be handed to him on a silver platter, so the XBOX is going bye bye. I do have an assortment of games as well, that I will sell for $15 each.
Price is firm, must replace vaccum that he broke thinking that would get him out of having to do chores.
As if that wasn’t bad enough for the hapless spawn, his mother has also informed the world that she’s busted him for looking at porn sites. His Internet access is now safely locked behind a password and his mother also apparently put a picture of Snoopy on his MySpace. Is it just me, or does this woman sound like the most kick-ass mother in the world”
now thats called discipline, lets hope we hear similar stories, as they make a great read.
The Nintendo DS is a very successful handheld Console and has sold millions of units worldwide, but if rumors are to be believed, there is a new DS in the works. According to a report on Shacknews.com
“Recent comments from Hirokazu Hamamura, president of Japanese magazine publisher Enterbrain, have ignited a wave of speculation that Nintendo may announce a new version of its wildly popular Nintendo DS handheld at this year’s E3 Media Summit.
The offerings of Enterbrain include the gaming publication Famitsu, which is typically among the first to report on new games and details.”
The DS is already a hit product, the newer version could include better hardware or improved features, I guess adding an MP3 player will be great, lets wait till E3.
