The Best Gran Turismo Controller to be more than half a grand.

Okay so you threw down about sixty dollars for Gran Turismo 5 for your PS3, but you feel like racing with your PS3 controller really isn't up to par with the game. Well you got around $600 lying around? How about the best controller for the game that was requested by the game's creator itself. The Thrustmaster's T500 RS is a racing wheel controller specifically created with Gran Turismo 5 in mind. Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi himself tasked Thrustmaster with creating the device to his exact specifications. His goal was for the team was to design a precise wheel with no latency and to reproduce the feeling as if you were driving the real thing of what you are

Games / Industry News -
Warcraft Expansion to be Fastest Selling PC Game out there.

Blizzard announced that they have sold over 4.7 million copies of Cataclysm (with 3.3 million on its opening day/midnight release). While technically it isn't a full game, as it is an expansion, it did beat out the previous holder of the title. Guess what it is? No, not Hello Kitty's Island Adventure (sorry Butters), but the previous expansion Wraith of the Lich King.

This is a surprise, when an expansion is beating out full games. I guess Blizzard knows how to keep the PC people happy, by responding immediately to community demand and making us give into our addiction. Now if you excuse me, I gotta find out why I'm not geared enough for my Holy Human Paladin to get into Heroic Deadmines.

Games - Pokemon and its Generations

Poke'mon is the real deal. It's been around since 1996 and it's still ticking. I don't think people know to the degree in which Poke'mon was and still sort of is, a big deal. People have written books about Poke'mon. Written about it's ridiculous ability to pull and captivate not just single people into it's cute little world, but entire quadrants of our society.

Poke'mon started as a japanese manga and then transformed into two Game Boy games. Poke'mon Red and Blue (Green if you lived in Japan at the time of it's original release.) The core essence of Poke'mon's world was that younger teenagers left their home,

Rumors: Ghost Reporting in

A Ghost-centered Call of Duty Prequel in the works? Well that's what's being talked about rumor-wise lately. A lot of rumors with that Infinity Ward is working on the next Call of Duty which will take part in the past and focus on MW2's Ghost and how he became a member of Task Force 141. While these are just rumors, Infinity Ward's Community Manager's Robert Bowling has not confirmed but has not denied anything.

In addition it looks like that since it is Infinity Ward, it could be likely that if the rumors were true, they will build

Game Art by Ryan Shiu

Ryan Shiu, a talented illustrator, animator and graphic designer, developed Pikasm in 2009. Shiu is one of the few artists who can bring an original touch to some of our favorite and classic video games and animated characters. Many artists attempt to capture some of the most epic moments from The Legend of Zelda but none come close to the visual creativity that Shiu is able to produce. Unfortunately Shiu has not updated his website since its birth, but much of the art work he has produced continues to be making its way across the world wide web. You

League of Gaming Continues in Video Game Industry

If you've followed competitive gaming at all, then you've heard of MLG. Major League Gaming has been around since 2002 fighting tooth and nail for the legitimacy of competitive gaming. The uphill battle of bringing competitive gaming to the mainstream has since been won. While MLG doesn't necessarily bring in the ridiculous large market shares like the NFL, MLG has come a long way.

It was announced a few weeks back that MLG has raised over $50 million dollars in funding. For a company that's been around for only 8 years, that's quite an achievement. According to MLG's own research they reach over 4.5 million users a month with over 600,000 unique

Nintendo Game only Half Done

At E3 2010, announcements of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword had critics and gamers alike swooning over the newest installment in the popular franchise. According to sources then, the game would not take an extraordinarily long time to finish and would arrive fairly soon. It was stated then that production was running smoothly and it could be expected shortly.

However, Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendos head honcho, recently stated Skyward Sword was over half complete, leading people to believe that it wont be coming as soon as hoped. Miyamoto said nothing further on the subject, a total shock compared to all of the messages of the past several months, and especially statements from July 2010 saying Skyward Sword would be released in early 2011. Furthermore, Miyamoto said the game was in the final stages at E3, with a few more dungeons and final touches to add, but apparently, what pushed it back was a new graphical style that will be more colorful

Black Ops goes for a record number of

CEO Bobby Kotick claimed earlier in 2010 that Call of Duty is a networking phenomenon as it is a video gaming one. Activision decided to back that up by posting the numbers that proved so...and showed that they also surpassed Facebook's numbers. With more than 20 million users on COD: Black Ops, the game and its players have logged more than 600 million hours between its release and December 24th, 2010. Computing that, it means the average player has played around 87 minutes per day, while Facebook's per-day average usage amongst its people is 55 minutes per day.

"...more than 20 million users on Call of Duty: Black Ops logged more than 600 million hours of playtime between the

Gamer News - Don't do what this man did.

As read here:(the story of the real life frogger), a man in Clemson, South Carolina thought it was a good idea at the time to play a real life version of Frogger. He was wrong...but at least he came out alive.

The local authorities say that the man was playing the real life game in the late evening and had arrived at the hospital around 9 p.m. after he was struck by an SUV (this is where you'd insert the sound effect) while trying to cross the road. According to Chief Jimmy Dixon of Clemson, the 23-year-old-frogger-man said that he was discussing the entire event with his friends earlier in the day.

In the end, the driver of the SUV that hit

Gears of War Game Bundle

2011 might be Gears of War's best year. A few months back Microsoft and Epic mentioned publicly that Gears of War 3 had been delayed, not out of necessity, but for marketing reasons. Microsoft wanted to give Gears of War 3 the Fall season of 2011 to push the franchise forward as well as to give the game additional time in the oven. Frustrating as it was for fans of Gears of War, it was also kind of nice to know that Microsoft was behind Epic's flagship series in a way that should ensure an incredibly polished title. A win win for everyone.

Well the marketing blitz for Gears of War has begun. Early adopters of Bulletstorm have already been promised
