Karen Matthews is a ‘Model Prisoner’, Rewarded With a PS3

Author: Vince | Date: December 18, 2008

According the the Daily Mirror Karen Matthews, the UK mum recently jailed for faking the kidnap of her daughter in order to get reward money, now has a TV, DVD player and PS3 in her jail cell.  ‘Why?’ I hear you cry, apparently Karen is a model prisoner and therefore is entitled to a reward.  A prison source is quoted as saying:-

“She has kept her nose clean and is pretty much a model inmate. As a result, she’s entitled to a PlayStation in her room and DVD player.”

EA Slapped on the Wrist for Misleading Advertising

Author: Vince | Date: December 17, 2008

EA’s television advert for Tiger Wood’s 09 on the Wii has been pulled in the UK after the ASA (advertising standards agency) deemed the ad misleading.  The ad in question featured Tiger Woods swinging a Wiimote whilst some beautiful gameplay footage in the background reacted, the problem was that it wasn’t the Wii version you were seeing.  Instead they showed the graphically superior Xbox 360 version.  The ASA said this on the matter:-

“They explained that Wii footage would not be of broadcast quality, and the originating agency had thought it preferable to use the Xbox footage, which was closer to broadcast definition, than to ‘up the resolution’ of Wii footage to broadcast quality,” said the ASA.

Review: Advent 4211 Netbook

Author: Rees | Date:

My first impressions of the Advent 4211 netbook were very positive indeed. I particularly liked the solid feel, the good keyboard and screen, and the snappy performance. I’ve been living with the Advent for a while now, so I thought I’d wrap the review up and give some more thoughts on this impressive little machine.

To recap, the Advent 4211 that I am reviewing comes with XP Home Edition preinstalled, the Atom N270 1.6GHz processor, 1GB DDR2 RAM, an 80GB mechanical HDD, and a 10″ widescreen display.

Review: Budget Gadgets ‘Small White Dog’ Webcam

Author: Rees | Date:

Introducing the ‘Small White Dog USB 5.0 M Mega Pixel Webcam PC Camera‘ from BudgetGadgets.com. If you haven’t guessed yet, it’s a webcam crossed with a cute fluffy dog, and it should appeal to children and animal-loving adults alike.

I was very impressed at the speed at which this arrived. My order from BudgetGadgets took 7 days fom start to finish, which is extremely good compared to some of their other China-based competition. Although the package was well packed with adequate padding, the dog’s box did seem to get damaged along the way, however it was easily straightened out.

Bomberman Live! is Your Next Deal of the Week

Author: Vince | Date: December 16, 2008

Microsoft’s Christmas ‘Deal of the Week’ promotion rolls on, and this week sees XBLA title Bobmberman Live! having its price cut to only 600 from today until nest Tuesday, 22nd December.

Bomberman Live! is an excellent addition to the Bomberman series and brings all the fun of the original title kicking and screaming into a high definition world for the first time (providing we forget the atrocity that was Bomberman: Zero).  The gameplay is a fast & frantic as ever and worth ever penny its new lower price.

Madworld – “Happy Holidays” Trailer

Author: Tigervamp | Date:

You think the Wii is only good for kids games? Think again!

I’ve been following this title for some time and this latest trailer, which reveals some of the narrative elements, has me more excited than ever.  I really can’t wait for this game.  Madworld is scheduled for release on the Nintendo Wii in Spring 2009.

MC Hammer in talks With Activision

Author: Vince | Date:

MC Hammer, the walking 90′s punchline and part time pastor, posted something rather interesting on his Twitter account recently:-

“I got one day to recover, then it’s LA to Activision to get a glance of a top secret project on Monday…Cannot wait !!!”

While this really means very little, we can always speculate can’t we.  My guess would be something to do with DJ Hero, either because ‘Can’t Touch This’ will be in the game or to get him in a motion capture suit for some in game hammer dancing.

Or of course he could just have friends in high places…

Taking Tattoos Just a Bit Too Far 2 – Pac Strikes Back

Author: Vince | Date:

A while back I posted this article about a chap that had his entire arm inked up in tribute to Sonic the Hedgehog, well it seems that he’s not the only one who wears his heart on his sleeve, as this young lady has gone and had Ms. Pac-Man and Inky tattooed on her head!  Certainly a brave move, should be interesting when the grand kids ask “what’s that on grandmas face?”.

Snakebyte Wii Remote XS & Wii Motion XS (Wii Review)

Author: Vince | Date:

3rd party controllers can sometimes be the stuff of nightmares, poor build quality and bad design often help you see why they cost so much less than their official counterparts, but thankfully Snakebyte seems to have avoided that with their Motion XS range for the Nintendo Wii.  The Remote XS and the Motion XS are both sturdy enough to take plenty of punishment be it boxing, sword fighting or surgery, and with a choice of 3 colours (black, white or pink) there’s enough choice for the whole family to have their own unique controller.
