I’m very disappointed with GameTap.
If you don’t know what GameTap is, it’s a subscription-based gaming network for PCs. It features tons of classic games - currently they’re boasting over 600 games. It’s $9.95 monthly.
I have more than enough system resources according to their minimum requirements, as well as bandwidth (minimum 384k download speed [...]

Red Octane, makers of Guitar Hero, are suing a third party - The Ant Commandos - for making and selling a wireless Guitar Hero controller. Red Octane says that The Ant Commandos are confusing people by using their Guitar Hero trademark.

Seen here are cute USB thumb drives featuring Egyptian hieroglyphs. I love it!

Just a bit of free publicity for my favorite cell phone strap store. Strapya has these cute Nintendo DS phone straps featuring a mini DS and a mini game, like Nintendogs or Super Mario 64 DS. They’re very detailed - the DS screens even show pics of the games! They are on [...]

According to Gamespot, via Sony themselves, your old PS1/PS2 game saves will work on the PS3, with a catch. You’ll have to have a memory card adaptor to copy the saves onto a virtual memory card on the PS3’s hard drive. The article says it’s unclear if Sony themselves will release an adaptor, but it [...]
