20 PS3 Titles From Take-Two In The Works: GTA IV, Darkness, More!
Take-Two, in an effort to capitalise on todays PS3 launch, throws out a release stating that they have 20 games in development for the new console.

PS3 + Line Waiting Foolishness = Shooting
Up until now I've abstained from posting anything about PS3 line waiting because I feel that both waiting outside in line for a week for an expensive box and writing about people who do is a waste of everyone's time.
10 people waiting outside a Best Buy in Nebraska? 100 people outside a Circuit City […]

Wii Channels Delayed
So a few of the Wii Channels that were supposed to be available at launch are going to come just a tad later. Though thankfully nothing too alarming.

So yesterday we predicted a possible Halo 3 demo coming soon and today (we thought for sure this news would come Friday but today it is!)

Halo 3 Demo Soon?
With the PS3 and Wii launching in the US this week, one wonders what Microsoft may have in mind to steal a little thunder aside from Gears of War and Viva Pinata.
Last Friday it was said that Bungie would soon be making an announcement (probably this Friday in one of their weekly web updates) to […]
