While it has a bunch of fantastic emulators, Google’s Android platform is sorely lacking when it comes to modern games. OpenFeint sees a huge opportunity in the Android gaming space and has raised four-million dollars to take advantage of it. According to PaidContent: The Burlingame, Calif.-based company said it will duplicate its iPhone network, which … Continue reading “OpenFeint Raises $4-Million to Bolster Android Gaming”
Here are a bunch of pictures of the Motorola Droid X, Verizon’s upcoming Google Android phone. Like the HTC Evo 4G, this is a large phone with loads of great features. I’m going to be putting it through its paces over the course of the next week and will go over its features on a … Continue reading “Motorola Droid X (Verizon) Unboxing Photos”
T-Mobile has done a decent job rolling out it’s high-speed HSPA+ network, but it only has one product that supports it — a USB connection stick. It looks like that will change in September. According to Light Reading, T-Mobile and HTC are teaming up for an Android “superphone” that takes advantage of the network: T-Mobile … Continue reading “T-Mobile Serving Up HTC Phone with HSPA+ in September?”
In the last ten days I spent two hours waiting for a PSP game to download and four hours waiting for an Xbox 360 game to download. In both cases I was annoyed and agitated that it took so long to download a relatively small amount of data. Six hours for a little over six GBs?!? That’s a step above cavemen banging two rocks together to start a fire!!! But you know what? It beats the crap out of the alternative.
Sony made a bold move at E3 2010 with the announcement of PlayStation Plus. A premium addition to its PlayStation Network service, PlayStation Plus launches tomorrow, June 29.

As brilliant as E3 2010 was, there were a few things I was hoping to see that didn’t make it. In some cases, perhaps they were just rumors. In other cases, the publisher wanted to save the game for another trade show. Whether the product is too early or the development team is in disarray, I was still bummed not to see the following.
It’s impossible for one person to see all the cool games at E3, but this year’s show was exceptionally difficult. Most of my friends at the show agreed that E3 2010 was much more interesting than E3 2009. It’s great for the gaming business, but bad for a single attendee. Here’s a list of things that I wish I saw at this year’s show.
Activision threw one of the most ridiculous E3 parties I’ve ever been to. First off, the company held it at the Staples Center — you know…that place where the Celtics are going to beat the Lakers later today. Secondly, the sheer amount of talent that performed was frickin’ crazy! Kicking things off DJ Hero 2 … Continue reading “E3 2010 Party Pics: Activision Takes Over the Staples Center”
