PS3 Backward Compatibility Problems Arise

The BBC is reporting that the PS3 may have more kinks to work out than we hoped as many of the older PS1 and PS2 games thought to have been backward compatible are in fact not.

Bloomberg reports today that Nintendo's marketing push for the Wii will be their largest ever clocking in at a cool $200 million clams.

Itagaki In Hot Water For Sexual Harrassment

The man responsible for the popular Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive games, Tomonobu Itagaki, is being sued in Japan for sexual harrassment by a former co-worker.
