Criterion’s Kindness is Over
So far Criterion has been so kind with free Burnout Paradise updates that I have almost forgiven Alex Ward for being a total prick. The key word being almost, and now Criterion has decided it’s time to charge for updates, they’re taking it all the way, their four movie and television inspired cars will be [...]
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Get’s Price and Release Date
It’s been so long since Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD was announced that now Street Fighter IV is only a few months away, and I find my self no longer that interested. Couple that with the fact that Street Fighter II sucked hard on Xbox 360 (mostly due to poor digital pads on the [...]
80% of PS3 Owners Have at Least Checked Out PSN
Sony says that 80% of PS3 owners are, “active” on PSN. This could just mean that they have signed up for accounts and nothing else, but either way, 80% is a strong number and a positive step for Sony. Playstation.Blog
Street Fighter IV Home Version Gets a Release Date
Since arcades are completely dead in the United States, fans of Street Fighter will finally be able to get their hands on Street Fighter IV when it releases for the Xbox 360 and PS3 on February 17, 2009. Europeans will be able to join the fun just three days later, with a February 20, 2009 [...]
October Console Sales, Sony Down Across The Board
While Nintendo and Microsoft managed sales increases in this difficult market, Sony was not so lucky. All three Sony platforms (PS3, PSP, PS2) where down 18% or more for the month of October. Nintendo was up 16% and Microsoft increased sales by 6%. Time to drop those prices Sony, both the Wii and Xbox 360 [...]
Burnout Revenge Goes Back… To The Future
Criterion, makers of the Burnout series of games, have been adding free content left and right to the now one year old Burnout Revenge and while they aren’t finished yet, it sounds like they will start charging. New cars are planned to be added, including the one above, which looks just a bit like a [...]
Final Fantasy XIII Coming to Xbox 360
I’m not really a fan of eastern RPG games (I haven’t even played one since Final Fantasy VII), but as a simple fact of modern development costs, company’s like Square are forced to release their games on as many consoles, in as many markets as possible, to recoup some of the costs. This does not [...]
Project Silence Podcast 26: The Story Cast
After a short break, the Project Silence Podcast returns with a few amusing stories from the past week, reviews of Wall-E and In Bruges, summer movie discussion (Jason still loves Will Smith!), and video game news including Rock Band 2 and Playstation 3 updates that don’t quite go as planned.
10 Million Potential Red Rings of Death
Historically the first console to reach 10 million units in sales wins the generation. While this generation feels completely different, mostly because the early guy (360) continues to be plagued by hardware issues, and the late guys (Wii and PS3) either started incredibly strong, or are finally starting to come on very strong, Microsoft is [...]
Buyers Beware: Current Blu-ray Players Won’t Correctly Play Future Discs
I have been ranting and raving about this for months on the Project Silence Podcast, but no one seems to listen to, or even believe, me. Now that Blu-Ray rep’s have openly admitted it and The Consumerist has picked up on it, maybe people will finally listen: YOU PEOPLE ARE GETTING SCREWED ON BLU-RAY. From [...]
