A New Business Model for Home Theater 3D?

Brian Hoss — Fri, 13 Sep 2013 17:00:31 +0000

Recent defections by former 3D content providers like ESPN and the BBC paint a dreary picture for 3D content in the home. However, to conclude that home 3D is dead ignores some important facts, and now is as good a time as any to take a much-needed deeper look into the state of 3D. First...

Now this is more like it. Three sweet looking games in one week? Hell yeah. PlayStation owners get their hands on a must-have, and every high-def system gets a pair of absolutely stellar-looking titles. It almost makes up for the temperature outside being so low that I have to wear a hoodie. Almost. Warhammer 40000:...

The Return of Virtual Reality?

Josh Zyber — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 19:00:21 +0000

I feel like it’s the ’90s all over again. Remember the “Virtual Reality” craze, which begat the Nintendo Virtual Boy and similar failed products? Well, Sony would have us believe that VR is primed for a comeback. It seems unlikely to me, but I suppose that stranger things have happened. Once upon a time, Virtual...

One Good Non-3D Use for 3D Televisions

Josh Zyber — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 13:00:30 +0000

Think 3D TV is an annoying gimmick and want no part in it? Here’s one intriguing use for 3D televisions that you may not have considered: Multi-player videogames where each player gets a full-screen view of his or her part in the action on the same set. Would you be willing to wear glasses for...

Ladies and gentlemen, there are some days that truly mark our history. People ask “Where were you when Kennedy was shot?” or “Where were you during the moon landing?” This week we celebrate one of those events. This week, ‘Duke Nukem Forever’ comes out. Duke Nukem Forever (360, PC, PS3) A mere 14 years after...

Videogame Releases: Week of May 29th, 2011

Dick Ward — Tue, 31 May 2011 17:00:10 +0000

It’s not a bad week for videogames, but it’s definitely a little underwhelming. We get a ‘Sims 3’ expansion, the latest title from inXile Entertainment (get it?) and yet another fighting game for the 3DS. Hunted: The Demon’s Forge (360, PC, PS3) The folks at inXile Entertainment have a bit of a strange history with...

While I wouldn’t consider any of this week’s videogames to be “a hotly anticipated blockbuster hit” or any variation of that phrase, there’s still plenty of good gaming to be had, including a multiplayer ‘D&D’ game like we haven’t seen in years. Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale (360, PC, PS3) Even though you won’t find it...

Mid-Week Poll: Which 3D PS3 Game Should I Buy?

Josh Zyber — Wed, 18 May 2011 13:00:39 +0000

Since beginning my foray into 3D home theater, most of my attention has been focused on 3D Blu-rays. I think it’s about time that I tested some 3D videogames as well. The only problem is that I’m not much of a gamer. So, I’ll need your help in choosing the 3D game(s) I should buy....

This is a massive week for videogames. You can pick up a new WWE game, a new NASCAR game, and the latest Tiger Woods golf game. That’s all well and good, but this is also the week that the 3DS debuts on U.S. shores. Nintendo 3DS It’s been far too long since the release of...

Netflix and 3D Movies Coming to the 3DS

Dick Ward — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 14:00:41 +0000

Nintendo has a reputation as a fairly closed-off company. It isn’t great in supporting third-party developers, and it has historically been awful with online play. However, Nintendo is doing things a bit differently with the 3DS. At the Game Developer’s Conference this week, Nintendo made some big announcements about its upcoming handheld system. Specifically, it...

It’s one hell of a week for shooter fans, especially PS3 owners who have to pick between two huge games – both of which are shooters with amazing companies behind them. In addition, RPG fans will be able to get their hands on that time-travel game I hyped up a few weeks back. Bulletstorm (360,...

Mid-Week Poll: Is $250 Too Much for the 3DS?

Dick Ward — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 14:00:53 +0000

Nintendo’s 3DS handheld gaming console will display glasses-free 3D, take 3D pictures, and may even be updated to record 3D video. Oh, and it plays games too! Still, the $250 price tag is more than Nintendo has ever charged for a handheld system. Is it too expensive? Commenters across the internet are balking at the...
