Dark Void – Ground Combat developer walkthrough

Another developer walkthrough video just released today; this one covers ground combat options and techniques specifically. Also, can I just say that this game is gorgeous?  We had a great time with it at CES playing in 3D thanks to the use of nVidia’s specialized technology.  I’m really looking forward to both this and the DSiWare companion title we’ll be seeing this month.   {h...[Read More]

Ten full minutes of Dark Void Zero

Capcom has released a ton of Dark Void Zero footage featuring practically the entire first level, direct-feed.  You may recall our footage from CES; well, this is better. We’ve taken the liberty of combining all of the released footage into one high-quality video for your viewing pleasure.  Please enjoy! 🙂 {hwdvs-player}967{/hwdvs-player}

Alienware Area 51 ALX product demo in HD

Ever gamed with a triple monitor setup?  We have (cue Nelson HA HA soundbite).  This was all made possible by Alienware’s quite ridiculous Area 51 ALX desktop–which just so happens to be the most powerful one they offer–coupled with ATI’s Eyefinity technology.  If that doesn’t tell the story, check out our video. {hwdvs-player}id=966{/hwdvs-player} Also, here’s ...[Read More]

WCG Ultimate Gamer interview #2: Jamal!

And here’s the second interview we did with the WCG guys at this year’s show.  In case you don’t know him, this is Jamal, the smack-talking, pro-gaming contestant who took third in the first season of the hit gaming life reality TV show.  If you missed any (or all) of the episodes in season one, you can check them out at your leisure at hulu.com.  But watch our interview first!  ...[Read More]

Alienware AW2310 OptX monitor running in 3D

Among the smorgasbord of Dell and Alienware products we were treated to during our visit to their swanky CES press suite was this awesome monitor, running in 3D at the time (hence the nVidia glasses you see there in the video).  It works well, too–about as well as any of the 3D televisions we demoed at the show.  Hit up the video below for the full product demo. More Alienware coming shortly...[Read More]

World Cyber Games – Ultimate Gamer interview #1

We had the chance to ask the staff behind the WCG Ultimate Gamer reality TV series some burning questions about its upcoming season on Syfy.  Check out our interview with Director of Marketing Aaron Smolick here!   {hwdvs-player}960{/hwdvs-player} Coming up in a bit: our interview with one of the participants from season one.

Toshiba Cell TV technology overview

One really cool announcement was Toshiba’s long-heralded Cell TV, which can transform 2D content into 3D with its trivector processing.  This means television, movies, and games can all be upgraded to 3D for an immersive experience without even having to invest in specialized hardware or software beyond that of merely the television itself. It’s also got plenty of other features as wel...[Read More]
