No New Next Generation Xbox Unveilings in 2012 Says Microsoft

The gaming community will be disappointed to find out that Microsoft has no plan to release a new console anytime soon, according to a statement from Microsoft and this article on Mashable.

“While we appreciate all the interest in our long-range plans [...]

New Game Controller Technology Provides Feedback by Stretching The Skin on Your Fingers

While the Kinect has changed the world of gaming by allowing you to game without a controller, one person has decided to taking game controlling to a new level and fulfill the issue that is rarely addressed: a lack of tactile feedback in controllers. Beyond controllers that vibrate, there is really nothing. However, William Provancher, an associate University of Utah professor of mechanical engineering, has a promising idea for the next generation of feedback for controllers.
His team has figured out that, by installing a small, motorized piece on [...]

Famous Comedian/Actor Chris Rock Could Have Been Naughty Dog's Lovably Annoying Sidekick

So back in the year 2000, comedian and actor Chris Rock was at the height of his career and Sony was the leading force in the video game industry. Sony and Naughty Dog were betting on the success of "Jak and Daxter."
What very few people knew (until recent news about a tweet by co-founder Jason Rubin) is that when Naughty Dog was looking for voice acting for the game, they asked Chris Rock to be the voice of the overly chatty Daxter. Unfortunately, Rock turned them down. In addition, they [...]

WB Announces a DLC-Loaded Version of Mortal Kombat

According to QTE Gamers, on March 2nd, Warner Bros. will be releasing a version of Mortal Kombat containing all of its DLC content. The DLC content includes four characters (five for PS3) which include Rain, Skarlet, Kenshi, and Freddy Kruger (with Kratos for PS3 owners). So you might want to get your Evil D-Pad controller ready when this title hits the shelves in March.
Speaking of the Evil D-Pad, I particularly feel that the Evil D-Pad would be the best choice for this game. Why? Because of the precision you need with moves, it's [...]

Someone Made a Custom Joystick with Michael McDonald On It

So every once in a while, I like to take a break from the everyday video game news to bring you something you wouldn't believe. For those who don't know me, I like classic American Rock music like the Steely Dan, Chicago, and the Doobie Brothers. I also like fighting games. I just never thought I'd see the two combined.
But apparently someone else did. As seen here on Kotaku, an eBay seller who goes by the name of "grithiffthsgamesmegamart" made a custom arcade-style joystick which former Doobie Brothers member Michael McDonald [...]

The Next Microsoft Console's Code Name is Revealed to the Gaming Public

So places like Kotaku have heard from a lot of sources (which can be found in this article) that are close to the working on the next Microsoft gaming console. They found out that the code-name for Microsoft's next console is Durango. Sounds like a familiar animated title doesn't it?
Though it should be noted that this is a code-name, not the official name. Just like the code-names for the Dreamcast (Katana), the Gamecube (Dolphin), and the Wii (Revolution), it's not the name that will be printed on the console [...]
