Slowly but surely the iPhone has been building a repertoire of apps that though based on real world concepts they actually enhance the experience. This is particularly true of boardgame apps, since their real world equivalents tend to take time and patience not only to setup but adjust to the rules and keep score (if you’ve ever played 13 Dead End Drive then you no exactly what I’m talking about…I want those hours of my life back Milton Bradley!). And while titles like Scrabble and Risk have been available on PCs for years, there’s something ...

The PlayStation 2 generation saw a weakened Nintendo and a new-comer enter into Sony’s looming shadow. So it would be quite the reversal of fortunes to see not only Nintendo dominating the market with the most consoles sold, but to see the up and coming Xbox brand surpass Sony as the console of choice for the ‘hardcore’ gamer. But that’s exactly what’s happened, and what’s more, things are looking up for the PlayStation nation. CNNMoney’s Silicon Alley Insider column recently referred to the PS3 as a “sinking ship.” So how fast is it headed below ...

Rock Band/Guitar Hero are quickly become as ubiquitous as the iPhone and other tip of the tongue tech toys that populate the headlines in the gadgetry sections of newspapers and websites. And like anything even remotely approaching popularity these things are subject to imitation. You know, the highest form of flattery? Otherwise known as the quickest way to make a buck. Now, it’s hard to place an emphasis on originality. One could argue that Rock Band has taken the ball from Guitar Hero and run with it and with great success; they broke the redundant cycle established by the ...

You may recall a recent post, here at GadgetAddiction.com that asked the question "What the Heck is a Gizmondo?" Well, it turns out that this question was fairly prescient as apparently, sales of a device called "the Gizmondo 2" begin in November and/or December of this year. This is all according to a blog called "The Nordic Link". In a post ...

What do you do when you're fed up with big corporations making game-systems that have the power but fall short in the software department? You open Pandora's Box and design your own handheld. This is just what seven developers did when they decided to design, manufacture and sell Pandora--a completely open-source gaming system that also ends up being a pretty powerful little handheld device. Remember yesterday's post on Gizmondo? Well, in a lot of ways, this is Gizmondo 2.0. Pandora has a 600MHz ...

The Gizmondo was, on it's surface, just another handheld gaming system. However, underneath that carbon-colored shell was a heck of a lot more than just a game machine. If you're a true gadget addict, you know exactly what the word "convergence" means in terms of portable electronics. It's the idea that eventually, we'll be able to condense all of our various handheld gadgets into one. Most devices these days have partially reached convergence--common, cheap mobile phones have cameras built-in and some low-end phones can even play music. Then there are smartphones like the Blackberry, ...

Nintendo is missing the point that Apple learned years ago that, one would have thought they'd already learned with their Nintendo DS handheld gaming system. People like colors. Apple put out their iPod Minis and Shuffles in a host of different colors. Likewise, Nintendo put out their Nintendo DS handheld gaming system in several different colors and even a color-combination or two.Yet, with their Wii gaming console, they released it in white and it has yet to see another color in all this time.This is a real shame, since back, before the thing was even ...

For just $480US (or $80 a month for 6 months) you can take gaming way too far with the Gyroxus Full-Motion Game Chair. For most gamers, dropping several hundred dollars on a gaming console system (and additional money on games) is just fine with them. Hardcore PC Gamers take things a little further by spending a grand or two on PCs specifically designed for gaming. Some of the above might even spend $100 on a dedicated gaming chair with built in speakers. But that's not enough for the people at Gyroxus.com. They hope that at least a few gamers ...

Last week we had a peek at the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3800 (http://www.gadgetaddiction.com/gaming/mobility-radeon/) so it’s only fitting that this week that the spotlight shifts to Nvidia. Yesterday the GeForce GTX 260 and GTX 280 debuted, kicking-off a new, next-gen line of GPUs. The specs themselves are quite stellar, so make sure that if you’re a technophile without cash to spare that you stop reading here, because rest assured, power has its price. The GTX 280 packs 1GB of RAM in cahoots with 240 processing cores, while the 260 has 896MB and 192 cores. $650 and $399 ...

This week at Computex, the annual computer expo held in Taipei, Taiwan, all sorts of neat products are on display and some seeing the (public) light of day for the first time. Among those first-timers is the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3800, a rebuttal to the recently announced Nvidia GeForce 9M series of laptop GPUs. The Mobility series of graphics chips is ATI’s line of laptop-specific hardware. This latest iteration, as claimed by ATI, is “tripling top-of-the line graphics performance in comparison to the previous generation ATI Mobility Radeon.” So far the Mobility Radeon ...
