The case against OnLive.

April 8, 2009

It’s foolish to deny that the cloud will dominate PC use in the future; dumb terminals made sense when raw computing power was unnecessary, and we’ll come full-circle as soon as broadband is ubiquitous.

A clear disconnect at Nintendo

April 3, 2009

Reggie Fils-Aime is not the man we want to see heading Nintendo’s North American chapter. That’s not to say that he’s totally off-base with his opinions and statements, but as VentureBeat’s recent interview of Films-Aimes illustrates, the man comes across as far too defensive of Nintendo, even for a President.

We bought Rock Band 2 a week after it was released, and after getting our groove on, we hopped online and ordered the ION Premium Drums, having sold out Rock Band drums months earlier. We held off on a pre-order because of the price, but who can resist the allure of a more customizable drum [...]
