Been doing a lot of work on future platform planning and was having a conversation with a co-worker about our " Live Anywhere " initiative. Although there are a lot of different aspects of Live Anywhere that excite me, one of the areas I've been doing...
It's been a while since I've written about Sony... mostly because there hasn't been anything really of interest to write about. The corporate puppy has been thoroughly kicked, and it appears the consumer message is finally getting through. Next-gen just...
A friend send along a link to a great post on Wired by Clive Thompson discussing what "cheating" really means when playing video games. It highlights the differences between "cheating" when playing alone versus playing online, and particularly interesting...
There's an interesting series of articles over at innerbits discussing rumored improvements to the PS3 online interface - aka the 1.60 firmware upgrade. It's a good read, and if real, will help the PS3 quite a bit toward being a gaming system capable...
I'm doing some thinking around the future of "Xbox Live". I put Xbox Live in quotes only because Live will be stretching beyond the console this year with the release of Live on Windows, and we're looking at a future where multiple devices...
That's definitely my opinion after evaluating the system a great deal . Spent several hours last night trying to make sense of the current online implementation; as I said before , Sony's online system is busted , plain and simple. And Xfire isn't...
Had an opportunity to spend the long weekend with a Japanese Playstation 3 (60 GB Pro SKU), and wanted to share some of my hands-on thoughts. Bit late, I know, but I've been traveling. For what it’s worth, the Japanese PS3 is basically identical...

News on the web today is that Xfire is suing GameSpy for how their GameSpy Comrade "Buddy Sync" feature creates friends lists. To quote: Now Battlefield 2142 is caught up in a legal tangle between rival in-game instant messaging programs Xfire...
Apologies for the lack of posts recently - it's been a rather busy time at work as I caught up from my Peru trip, and I've been traveling all over the place for a variety of work reasons. I'm actually returning from San Francisco even as we speak, and...
Some interesting news today about Xfire providing PS3 games technology to connect to their network. The best interview is from Next Generation (with a couple of key quotes): Next-Gen: First of all, a lot of gamers are wondering if this Xfire deal will...
Saw a post over on Joystiq that's talking about power leveling, or the ability pay someone real money to buff up your Gamerscore. To quote: For years now, companies have offered to level your Everquest and World of Warcraft characters for a fee. By...
... at least for Nintendo. Yes, I'm still in Peru (Arequipa, to be exact) on vacation, but we're killing a half-day hiding inside a coffee shop from the beating sun. (The Inca Trail and Machu Picchu were amazing, by the way!) Anyway, so I have...
Been some articles on the web recently about an interview Reggie Fils-aime did with USA Today where he implied online gaming with the Wii would be free. To quote the key Q&A: Q: You're not pursuing a subscription model? A: We view online gaming as...
Had a couple of emails from folks asking about this post from Shacknews about "Panorama". To quote: "Shacknews has learned from reputable sources who wish to remain nameless that Microsoft plans to introduce what seems to be a Windows gaming service called...
