Now that 2010 has begun, I want to think about how I can better my relationship with gaming. 2009 had been a year of neglect for one of my most favourite pastimes. I hope I’ll be able to develop more organised and efficient gaming habits this year. More »

Unimaginable.The bundles Sony are coming up with are getting more ridiculous. First, there was the foul Hannah Montana PSP bundle (by the way, I still haven’t gotten over how horrid it is. I cringe everytime I see that lilac colour) and soon in Japan, you will be able to purchase this. More »

You know that geeky movie Iron Man? Well, there’s going to be a second one and it’s coming out May 7 2010 for you North American folk. Australians will see the release of this film on April 30 2010.

Iron Man 2 will feature new characters, War Machine (Tony Stark’s close friend, James “Rhodey” Rhodes) and Whiplash (one of the main protagonists). Hopefully, they can add the much-needed spark the second game needs. More »

From Ningin: Want to kill some time online? Geeks like me who favor MMORPGs will appreciate the comedy web series “The Guild,” which follows the on and offline lives of six gamers who play together as a guild. The ongoing story is narrated by the female lead, Syd, in-game name “Codex.” Season one opens with Codex being “dumped” by her therapist for refusing to kick her gaming habit, immediately followed by her guildmate Zaboo appearing on her doorstep to profess his undying- and unwanted- love.

From Girlybubble: And cuter! EyePet is a game on PS3 that makes use of the PlayStation Eye (a webcam peripheral, successor to EyeToy).

This game is all about having fun with a creature that’s little, cute, adorable, funny, energetic, playful… You get the point. I’m still not sure what it is (I mean, what’s a simian? And what mammal comes from an egg?) but, this thing is better than any Tamagotchi, Nintendog or Milo. More »

Walmart is all about savings, is it not? Well, their latest deal calls for a party, you know, with the extra $100 you’ll be saving. The Xbox 360 is on sale in Walmart this weekend and with every $199 Xbox bought, Walmart is giving away a $100 gift card. This means that you’ll be getting the entire Xbox 360 package for only $99.

From Ningin: Both the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii have come down in price to an affordable $200; if you’ve always wanted a new console but couldn’t afford it (or simply couldn’t justify the expense), now is a great time to buy- but which one is right for you? More »

From Ningin: As a child being a samurai was on my top ten list of occupations (along with being Batman or a dinosaur). Little did I know that I’d be living in Japan one day, and also that finding a feudal lord to employ you was near impossible. More »

Not impressed with your DSi’s poor quality 0.3 megapixel shots? Now you can take the same poor quality picture but closer! That means you won’t have to take two steps closer to take that perfect shot. Seriously, this thing is a little on the large side, but still, $25 is not too bad considering that it comes with a few filters. It won’t fit on the new DSi LL though. This ingenious device is manufactured by Nyko. More »
