"Microsoft evidently has taken notice, and announced during its E3 press conference that an Xbox 360 version of the movie trivia game, Scene-It is in the works. In addition to featuring new interactive features, more puzzles, clips, and questions, the Xbox 360 version will also include a new controller. The controller design is (shockingly) very, very simple. "
About time. More, I want more of this Microsoft!

"When the companies entered into their partnership in 2001, Sony, Toshiba and IBM committed themselves to spending $400 million over five years to design the Cell... In late 2002, Microsoft approached IBM about making the chip... Microsoft was interested and contracted with IBM for their own chip, to be built around the core that IBM was still building with Sony... So Microsoft actually got the chip that Sony helped design before Sony did."

"It wasn't all Zune gaming at Microsoft's GDC keynote this morning -- a lot of time was spent discussing Community Games, the new official name for XNA-based games. Amateur devs will get "creator identities" along with their gamertags, and Live members can rate, grade, and discuss your efforts. Of course, as we've heard, games can move from the 360 to PCs to second-gen Zunes, which is definitely pretty cool..."
Been a long time in the making. The 3 platform trick is pretty neat too. Gonna go try it on my 360 now...

"Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars is coming to PSP in just a few weeks: August 14th, to be precise. Sega recently sent us some screenshots showcasing some of the crazier environments you'll be driving in the upcoming PSP revival. We won't comment on the graphics this time around -- we'll leave that up to you. At the very least, we hope the game will maintain the same fun and charm of the Dreamcast originals."
I want this for my PSP! Doesn't have great graphics, but I love the gameplay.

"Parallel Processing Corp. is asking a federal court to order Sony to destroy its PlayStation 3 videogame consoles, which PPC claims infringes on its patents for microprocessor technology... The suit claims that the cell processor, developed by Sony, Toshiba, and IBM, violates PPC's patent for "synchronized parallel processing with shared memory." ... Because of the alleged infringement, PPC is seeking damages and wants all PlayStation 3s "impounded and destroyed.""
Wow, wouldn't Sony be in shit if the courts agreed lol.

A lot of their strategy hinges on the Home environment, and it is very amazing, especially the mobile phone integration where a photo taken on the phone can be sent to Home and appear on your virtual apartment's wall.
But is that what gamers want, a living-room version of Second Life?

Oooh...Super Mario Galaxy! Sometimes I wonder why I bought a 360 and not a Wii...hopefully when Banjo returns on the 360 it'll fix that.
Love what they're doing to add to the physical interaction aspect of the device with the Wii Fit.
Keep it up Nintendo!

"While some have already taken their own initiative to give the Nintendo DS a camera, it looks like the rest of us will soon have a considerably easier go of it, as Nintendo's set to release its own camera for the handheld, along with a game to take full advantage of it."
Why mobile game makers and portable console makers don't take more advantage of cameras and the ability to work in the player's physical surroundings is beyond me.
