Why PS2 Succeeded, and Why PS3 Will Fail
Posted by Rob Stevens Categories: Editorial, Features, Video Games
The Sony PlayStation 2 had a lot of things going for it when it launched in October of 2000. It would launch more than a year before Nintendo’s GameCube console, a head start that proved to extend the lifespan of the console far longer than the usual five years. Normally, launching a game console outside of that five-year cycle spelled disaster (just ask Sega), Sony managed to make it work, but …

No “Free Press” In Game Industry
Posted by Rob Stevens Categories: Editorial, Features, Video Games
Hey Dave…still want to know why there’s no real journalism in the video game industry? It’s because of stories like this, and like this, and like this.
How on earth are you supposed to have a “free press” in the game industry when the companies that admittedly support its existence are constantly trying to keep all of the news under wraps? I suspect that in at least one of these recent cases of IGN pulling content, …

I’ve positioned the wireless receiver everywhere I can, I’ve changed the batteries, and I’ve changed wireless channels. The only verdict I can come to after several months of use is that this desktop …

Posted by Rob Stevens Categories: Editorial, Features, Video Games
I’m not an expert in branding or picking product names, but as I thought about the ramifications of Nintendo’s choice of product name for their next console (Wii, in case you missed it), I’ve been thinking more and more about what a terrible choice it was.
First, Nintendo released a one-sheet explaining the name. This includes how it’s pronounced, what it means, and their …

SonyEricsson W800i Walkman Phone Review
Posted by Rob Stevens Categories: Cell Phones, Features, Portable Audio / Video, Product Reviews
While the Motorola ROKR landed with a dull thud, SonyEricsson has launched the W800 with almost no noise at all. While the this phone doesn’t have iTunes (although you can hack it to make it seem like it does), what it does have is far more features and versatility than the ROKR, and a price tag to match. Let’s get the hard part …
