Oblivion content expected every four weeks
Submitted By: Pixel Gamers
25 May 2006 08:53 | Systems
The downloadable content for Oblivion has caused quite a big uproar for Xbox 360 owners. On the one hand this new content adds yet more to an unbelievably deep game and at a small cost it’s not too bad.
On the other hand the question has been asked many times; why were these not included in the game at launch?

Boob Physics

They bounce, are semi-buoyant, and young males seem to not get enough of them. They are breasts, or as some refer to them, boobies. In an odd way, the physics of breasts have become a huge factor and trend in the world of gaming. It’s quite interesting how this whole trend got started.

Doubts Over Pre-owned PS3 Bombshell
Submitted By: Moostache
24 May 2006 17:13 | Systems | Playstation 3 | Technology
A story claiming that Sony is preparing to stop the potential sale of pre-owned PlayStation 3 games is being met with some skepticism by industry insiders.
According to a UK news source, citing retail contacts, Sony is preparing to make it illegal for consumers to sell used PS3 games. The plan would involve Sony adopting a licensing system whereby gamers would agree that they are purchasing a license to play a game, rather than the game itself.
If true, such a move would be a massive boost for publishers and developers which do not profit from the lucrative and damaging retail trade in used games. In fact, many publishers are furious that they have to spend support money on consumers who have not actually contributed a dime to the company's coffers.

Bungie Testing Halo 3 Multiplayer
Submitted By: darktangent
22 May 2006 07:20 | Systems | Xbox 360
While surfing around on the Bungie site, I came up on a new employee's Blog of sorts and came across this and I quote "Paul Bertone, one of our lead designers, let us play something that blew our minds. That was single player, and from a mission very early in the game. And one that takes place before the events seen in the E3 trailer, but Lars, one of the new(er) multiplayer designers, has a regular multiplayer test in session now - that happens every day - and with surprisingly polished-looking graphics, although I'm told a lot of the textures and decorator objects are just placeholder at the moment. Could have fooled me. The multiplayer test lab is still packed full of old-school 4:3 480i NTSC TV sets, which tells you two things. One is that we're making sure this game looks awesome on non HD sets, and two, that there is always a crazy rush to get to the sets that are HD during those sessions." Maybe halo 3 is further along than we think.

During E3 Club Skill sat down with Guy Wilday, the studio director, from the new SEGA Driving Studio based in the UK (just round the corner from our very own Rob Rymond in Solihull), which is developing an all-new Sega Rally game for next-generation consoles and PC, called “Sega Rally Revo”.
The game's features include fully deformable surfaces, so the track will never act the same no matter how many times you play it, as well as is dramatically improved NPC AI - so it now dynamically adapts to the different road surfaces.

Ulanoff: Blu-ray Is Doomed to Lose DVD Format War

Blu-ray is doomed.
I came to this conclusion shortly after reading John Dvorak's thoughtful dissection of the HD DVD versus Blu-ray imbroglio.
It was right on the money in all ways but one: Dvorak didn't anoint a winner; he thinks it'll take a couple of years to shake out.
I think he's wrong.
