Cave Men spotted in Halo 3 !
A family of cave men with a teddy bears have been spotted in Halo 3.It's Funny and weird and their purpose is not clear. They appear not to do anything that affects the game at all. However, you can punch and shoot them to make them bleed.
Weird! We can only speculate what else will be discovered.

Unreal Tournament (PS)3 Impressions
Friday
Kotaku got their hand on the latest build of Unreal Tournament 3 for the Playstation 3. It looks to be shaping up more that nice with a control scheme that is lightlning fast...yes even for analog sticks."The FPS genre has slowed down in the past few years, literally. Games like Halo may be fun, but they don't have that crack on speed sense of split second intensity that the UT series has offered since its first incarnation. The major blame should probably fall on analog sticks. They just don't work as well as a mouse for extremely quick 180s to rocket jumps to sniper rifle headshots. But in UT3. the controls are extremely tight—they've clearly been given a lot of love. The razor responsive mechanics are in no way hindered by analog sticks. I don't know how that's possible—maybe we've just gotten more used to the controllers, maybe it's Epic ingenuity (and new adjustments like a rotary gun selection—but UT3 has not been slowed down and I will not be playing it with a mouse, even with that option."Watch out Halo 3. There is a new shooter in town.

BBC Confuses Halo 3 with Killzone 2 in live broadcast.
Thursday
Good ol' BBC, their "excellent" researchers have cocked up once again by showing Killzone 2 footage in a Halo 3 news report. I'm sure Bill Gates is pleased!
Also a great non-biased report on violence in games, the fact it's aimed at 15 - 25 year olds and how great the Wii is, (note the comment about that Wii Sports is beating all these "shooters" in sales, Nothing to do with the fact the game comes free with the machine at all)
But it all adds up for great journalism on a huge launch for a game for another system.

Microsoft today announced that the Xbox 360 exclusive game Halo 3 has officially become the biggest entertainment launch in history, garnering an estimated $170 million in sales in the United States alone in the first 24 hours. The Xbox 360 title beat previous records set by blockbuster theatrical releases like Spider-man 3 and novels such as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Halo 3 is the conclusion to the epic trilogy and picks up where Halo 2 left off, answering questions around the fates of the beloved protagonist Master Chief and his artificial intelligence sidekick Cortana as they struggle to save humankind from destruction at the hands of the alien coalition known as the Covenant. In addition to the rich storyline, Halo 3 continues the franchise's grand tradition of delivering innovative online multiplayer experiences via Xbox LIVE, the world's largest social network on TV.
Halo 3 has become a pop-culture phenomenon, said Shane Kim, corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios. Not only is Halo 3 setting sales records, it's also redefining entertainment.
Within the first 20 hours alone, we've seen more than a million Xbox LIVE members come online to play Halo 3 that makes September 25 the most active Xbox LIVE gaming day in history.

'Metroid Prime' Developers On Pushing The Wii
Mark Pacini, game director talks with Mtv.com about the development of Metroid Prime 3 on the Nintendo Wii.He speaks about the concerns that they had with the control system and how much detail and hard work they put into making sure that they really pushed the graphics to a never before seen level on the system.
Also he stated that as good ad Metroid Prime 3 looks graphically the Nintendo Wii still had power to spare.
Todd Keller, (Art Director) said,
"We don't have a lot of depth with shader stuff, but we can make really good color palettes." Keller, who has been overseeing art in the "Prime" series, said the system can graphically surpass the achievements of "Prime 3," noting "you can definitely do more stuff that will be way beyond that."Very interesting read.

Halo 3 Scores 10/9/9/9 in Famitsu!!!
Kotaku has reported the first scores of Halo 3 coming from Japan.Here is a snippet of the post:
"The most respected gaming magazine in Japan has put Halo 3 through its paces, and the verdict is now in. Four reviewers took the game on and Bungie's latest walked away with a score of 10/9/9/9. Relatively huge scores for the game in a country where the Xbox 360 is floundering horribly. I wouldn't look on this as Microsoft's great hope to finally gain ground in the country - after all, Halo 2 got the exact same score when it was released in Japan and the big black box didn't exactly become an overnight sensation."Is it me or does everyone seem to be completing the game rather quickly. I hope it does last more than the 5 to 6 hours of Halo 2.

Playstation 4: Is Sony quietly exiting the console race?
Wednesday
Sony may be ever so quietly exiting the console race according to some recently released financial data. ( Raw financial data often more than not is a primary indicator, long before mainstream media gets the news, of a company's projected road map. )According to recent reports TOKYO (Nikkei)--Sony Corp. (6758.TO) shares have fallen 26% since hitting a year-to-date high in late May, as investors have become wary of the company's inward-looking business stance, The Nikkei Financial Daily reported in its Wednesday edition.What does all this mean in English?
Sony's stock ended lower Tuesday, with reports that it plans to sell a
cutting-edge chipmaking facility to Toshiba Corp. (6502.TO) as early as next spring failing to impress investors.
According to news reports, Sony plans to sell manufacturing lines that make the Cell processor to Toshiba for slightly less than Y100 billion. The move follows Sony's announcement last year that it intends to reduce spending on the next-generation chip to succeed the Cell, which is used in Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.'s PlayStation 3 video game console. Under a strategy of selectively consolidating its semiconductor operations,Sony plans to beef up its image sensor business while jettisoning the Cell.
"All we've heard from Sony recently are plans to quit something," said Eiichi Katayama, an analyst at Nomura Securities Co. "The company hasn't presented us with any new growth strategies."
It means that Sony for some reason or another will be selling the manufacturing lines that make the cell chip. However the biggest nugget of information to take away from this post is that Sony is now reducing its spending on the "next generation chip that will succeed the Cell presumably for Playstation 4. With the added competition that Sony now has in Microsoft and Nintendo, the last thing in world Sony would want to do is be technologically behind it competitors on the next hardware cycle unless planning to bow out of the hardware race.
Sony may be looking to pull a Sega and go multi-platform software only.
Is this the first signs that the Playstation Brand is on its way out? Only time will tell for sure.

In the wake of the terrible reviews that Lair has earned as of late Sony has been sending out reviewer guides to game critics to reconsider the sub par reviews that Lair has earned. This is absolutely the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen or heard. Is someone inside Sony trying to kill the company?

Windows Vista being replaced. Windows 7 on the horizon.
Windows Vista has only been out a few months and is already on the list to be replaced by Microsoft according to an article published in Maximum PC Magazine October 2007 issue.The working title of the new windows is " Windows 7" but will probably be changed to a more consumer friendly title at some point. The target date for release of this new OS is 2010.
According to the Maximum PC article " Microsoft is now all about frequent OS releases: a significantly overhauled OS every 4 years, with minor updates falling in the interim years. The ultimate goal is to move users to an OS subscription model thus annualizing software revenue."
It looks like we will have to dig a little more often in our pockets to use Microsoft's OS.
