Latest Gadgets, Tablets and Smartphones
If you own a Kindle and enjoy playing word games like Scrabble then you’re in luck.
Scrabble now makes its way to Kindle after Shuffled Row and Every Word and with the few user reviews its received so far, its all good and has been rated pretty highly. There are a few game modes to try out such as whether playing solo or ‘pass ‘n’ play’ with a mate.
Its exactly as the title suggests… If it’s not Sony’s, it could explode. This is regarding Sony’s press release about counterfeit playstation controllers.
Sony have stated that a number of controllers, that “identical in appearance to genuine PlayStation 3 wireless controllers,” have begun to sprout around the market. The company have also said that the “quality, reliability, and safety of counterfeit products is uncertain.”
In the past we’ve written about robots that mow your lawn or guard your house while you’re away. You’d think by now, in 2010, that some bright sparks could get something to clean your windows without you too…
Well now they have, for the South Korea Pohang Institute of Intelligent Robotics or ‘PIRO’ (as we’ll call them for the remainder of this post) has done just that and have brought us Windoro the window cleaner.
“[Milo] is a technology demo that continues to exist, but right now it’s not a game that we’re planning to bring to market.”
That’s what Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg told Australian TV show Good Game in July concerning and don’t forget that ‘Milo’ was one of the highlights during Microsoft’s press release at E3.
But then Peter Moleneux said to Eurogamer last month concerning the creation of Project Milo, a simulated relationship between a young boy named Milo and the player…
“I wouldn’t be working on it if I didn’t hope that to be true, yes.”
From the little picture you see before you, there’s going to be a new update for the Xbox 360 Dashboard and a great one at that.
For a while now, Microsoft has held firm to the belief that its not all about Blu-ray but rather digital downloads instead and would rather leave the HD format all to Sony.
As reported by IGN, new information has now been gleaned from Nintendo concerning the hardware in their new ‘glassesless’ (if thats that even a word) 3D handheld console.
Well its finally arrived, the long awaited PS3 Blu-Ray 3D support update is ready to download. Unfortunately, like we said in a previous post regarding this, you still need to have a 3D capable TV set in order to truly experience what this new update has to offer as well as the few games that are also available on the Playstation Network.
Once firmware version 3.50 has been downloaded you’ll be able to see for yourself what all the fuss is about… In 3D. [Read more…]
Halo: Reach – 31 million games played since release!!!!!!!
So as of today, one week since launch day and already 31,000,000 games have been played on Halo: Reach whether it be Firefight, Online Coop, or Campaign mode. 31,000,000 games – that completely wipes out what Halo 3 did for the highest number of concurrent simultaneous players online at once which reached well over 700,000.
We posted earlier that IE 9 would not be running on Windows with XP and it looks as though 2 million people aren’t too worried about that either especially as those 2 million downloads were all with in IE 9’s first 48 hours.
There is nothing quite as bad as finally receiving your very own copy a game that you’ve been waiting for ages to get your hands on, only then to find it doesn’t even work.
With over $200 million worth of copies of the last instalment of the Halo series, this has certainly made its mark in gaming history. But this, unfortunately, has been marred by many users being unable to play their copy of Halo: Reach due to a disc read error. Forums dotted all over gaming websites (including Bungie as well) have been growing and growing with rather disgruntled gamers. Yet still, its been unclear as to the cause for this, though here at Gadget Venue, we think its more likely that a dodgy batch of games got out, seeing as such a huge number needed to have been produced in order to try and keep up with customer demand.
Its now, finally official. Its now time for the UK to get Microsoft Zune. Usually you’d have to be in the USA or happy to import the various gadgets over to the United Kingdom. This is to coincide around the same time as the release of Microsoft’s Windows 7 phone asit will come with the ability to sync itself with your Zune device.
