by Patrick Steen on May 18, 2008

by Patrick Steen on April 14, 2008
Fat Kid
Over this past weekend a video detailing a Playstation 3 fan test made its way onto the internetz. The test runs through the fan speeds, ending in a rocket boost to blow out as much dust as possible. Sadly, it only works on the 40GB model, so many were still left with a trusty can of compressed air, or hoover.
In an act to save all the 60GB plebs, a kid shows us how to achieve the same results. The method he demonstrates is not going to free your PS3 of dust; it’s going to kill it like a baby goat to the slaughter house. Read more…

PS3/360 Cry Engine 2 to Look Near High Settings on PC
by Patrick Steen on April 7, 2008

It almost sounds too good to be true. Almost? It is too good to be true. Could Cry Engine 2 on consoles really look any where near as good as Crysis on the PC? Crytek’s Engine Business Manager, Harald Seeley, states that they expect the console versions to “look like they’re running at high settings, or nearly high settings, on a PC.” *Shock.* Read more…

Microsoft Owns Patent for In-Game Custom Soundtracks
by Patrick Steen on March 31, 2008

Playstation 3 Am Cry?
One of the most wanted features missing from the Playstation 3 is the ability to use a custom soundtrack during gameplay. Movement has been made in this area with some games beginning to offer support, notably Super Stardust HD and High Velocity Bowling, but it’s yet to be offered for all games.
Though many expect the inclusion to come when Sony supports an in-game version of Playstation 3’s cross media bar, the implementation of this feature might just stay with the developers, since Microsoft owns a patent for this very functionality. Read more…
