Gaming Controllers, Which Console Design is #1?

No doubt over the years we have seen companies like Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo as the frontrunners in gaming, change their controllers or make new ones to help feed this era of technology driven individuals. After stumbling upon an article about which controller is the best, it came down to the Xbox 360 controller and the PS3 controller.
Over many years of trying to remodel their controllers, I do sincerely agree that the Xbox 360 and the PS3 controllers are the best that the market has to offer as of late. Which one is better [...]

Hello Amanda,
No sweat and by the way I really appreciate knowing that as customers we are the number one priority. As I mentioned before in a phone conversation this will be my 2nd modded controller, the 1st one I obtained from a competitor (a bad experience overall... bad customer service, 1st shipment was defective so I had to send it back, 2nd shipment so far has shown poor quality- active reload works half of the time etc.) Because of all [...]

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 [...]

An Master Chief Action Figure Previews What He Will Look Like in Halo 4

Halo 4 will be the first game in the epic space marine series to not be developed and looked over by Bungie. With them out the picture, you would think that 343 studios wouldn't upgrade or update the Chief's appearance. Well actually they decided to give him a bit of an upgrade, and you can see it in the new line of Halo action figurines that will be coming soon to a shelf near you, which you can see here on this Kotaku article.

Bungie will Have 343 Cover all Halo Community Based Services

As of March 31 of this year, Bungie will no longer host any Halo services on Bungie.net (according to this article on Joystiq). All current Halo data will now be handled and transferred over to 343. When that happens, 343 will accept all responsible of handling the information Bungie will no longer be able to update game stats, player service records, host any new user generated content, or operate any more of the Bungie Pro services. Any type of replacement functionality for the community or the game will be hosted by [...]

South Korea Opens the World's First Kinect Powered Theme Park

According to Kotaku, South Korea has opened the gates to the first ever interactive theme park called Live Park. It allows visitors to experience the virtual world with interactive games and other forms of interactive entertainment. Think of video games meets Six Flags meets Minority Report (minus the Tom Cruise acting), and you would likely get Live Park.
The park, which was the brainchild of Start-up D'strict, boasts sixty-five attractions, took about two years to complete, and can hold up to around three thousand visitors at once. Each park visitor will be [...]

The Kinect is being used to monitor your elders' health.

Before we venture into this topic, I have to say this: the idea of being alone in your older years is a horrible idea to think about, especially when you are getting on your years. With technology and society changing at every second and minute, we will barely be able to keep up with everyone and everything.
However, group of researchers at Missouri University came up with an interesting idea. They are looking to use the Kinectas a vital monitoring solution for our problems as we get older. The concept of the [...]
