Who needs another Mortal Kombat movie?
I have to admit that, as a kid, I was into Mortal Kombat and who wouldn’t be with all the blood and gore previously unknown to gaming. “Finish him!” became a buzz word among gamers. But many incarnations later, it suddenly lost its novelty. I have to admit that starting with the third game, I’ve grown tired of it. And also with the offshoots of the franchise. The first movie, on its own, was a big...
Genius TwinWheel F1 Set for PC/PS2

I’ve never bothered buying joysticks or gamepads either. Until today, when gamepads are required by many sports games on the PC, I still resort to using a virtual gamepad driver.

And finally, it’s based on a franchise that started in 1990, over half a decade before...

Analysts have projected cuts on PS3 prices. While this is good news for consumers like us (but I’d rather buy me a Wii), it isn’t good news for PS3 manufacturer Sony at all. According to this report from Bloomberg, the PS3 may probably give Sony it’s biggest loss in the console market. As we all know, Sony became the victor of the console wars with the Playstation and proved to be a force with the second incarnation,...
