GDC08: GT Wheels

At GDC, Logitech unveiled the official Gran Turismo 5 wheel for your PS3 which will cost $149.99 when released. Steep price at the moment but it will be worth it once GT5 comes out. Anyway, why would you play a close-to-real-life driving simulation with a SIXAXIS or Dualshock 3?

Back USB for PS3

This is for those who fancy usb ports at the back of their PS3. I have to say, having USB ports at the front can be quite messy - especially since I always have the PSeye and a USB charger plugged in all the time. Do the following at your own risk ... btw.

GDC08: PixelJunk Eden

Have you tried out PixelJunk Monsters yet? If you haven't, a demo of the game was just released Thursday (Friday local time) for your trial pleasure. I have to say, it's a must download for strategy game loving gamers.

PixelJunk is not stopping there though with their simple 2D yet deep games (game if you don't include PixelJunk racers). Their next release is called PixelJunk Eden. Check out the following video.



At GDC08, Q-Games claims that they will be releasing their latest game in the PixelJunk series before summer. I know I'll find myself following news on PixelJunk Eden - I'm curious enough now to how this game is really played.

GDC08: In-Shirt XMB

One of the most requested feature on the PS3 is in-game XMB. It's been so long and Sony has yet to deliver. At GDC, Sony had shirts with the words in-shirt XMB printed on it, a tease no less by Sony to tell us that in-game XMB is coming. Let's hope it's close. It's been awhile since the last firmware update.

The War is Over

Toshiba has finally called it quits and has stopped production for HD DVDs. Obviously, current HD DVDs will still be around but let's celebrate for the format war has somewhat ended! And seems like Sony has finally got its share of winning a format war, what with its history of losing streaks. But yay to Blu-Ray!

Personally, I'm glad Blu-Ray won since it has the better looking disc cover.
