Gear Live Review: Motorola RAZR V3c
Posted by Mark Harrison Categories: Smartphones, Features, Product Reviews,
We just recently got our grubby little hands on a V3c for Verizon Wireless. This is the phone many a cell phone user has been waiting for - a Verizon RAZR that offers EV-DO support that also sports uncrippled Bluetooth with OBEX. What more might you ask for in this day and age? Check out our review after the jump for our impressions of the RAZR V3c.

Xbox Live Marketplace: Condemned Demo and Outpost Kaloki Fireworks Challenge
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, First Person Shooters, Strategy, Xbox 360, Xbox Live, Xbox Live Marketplace,
Finally, after a drought of about a week, more new content has been added to the Xbox Live Marketplace. First, is a demo of the Sega thriller Condemned. We have been having a great time playing the retail version of the game, and if you haven’t played it yet, grab the demo quickly. There is also a new Outpost Kaloki X challenge that looks to be free of charge, centered on creating a fireworks station. Probably capitalizing on the New Year season, we like this one. Outpost Kaloki X is like the old-school lemonade stand game on steroids.

Posted by Brandon Gribin Categories: First Person Shooters, PlayStation 3,
Yep, that’s right - according to the new issue of PlayStation Magazine, Unreal Tournament 2007 is scheduled to be a PS3 launch title. Sure, it may not be huge news (and the game certainly won’t be an exclusive) but it’s still better than no news right?

Alternate King Kong: The Game Ending
Posted by Brandon Gribin Categories: Action, Nintendo Gamecube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360,
Ubisoft recently announced that its King Kong game has an alternate (happy) ending! Possibly to help boost sales, after already dropping the price of the game, the publisher has revealed that the game contains an alternate ending where Kong survives and is returned to Skull Island. We feel this announcement has been made partly due to all the talk of the game’s low replay value. However, in order to obtain the other ending, players will have to put in a bit more time - and since the game’s only $30, this new announcement may help increase sales.
So what’s the big guy have to say about it? (No not Kong, Peter Jackson!)
“I wanted the game to be able to take the audience a bit further than what the film could,” said Peter Jackson. “And the final climax of the game gave us an opportunity to do something that the film could not do, which was to have an alternate ending - obviously everybody pretty much knows how King Kong ends.”

J Allard talks about his thoughts on a few different matters in the newest issue of Edge. First off, Allard believes persistent worlds are the future of videogames - where you can log into whether you’re on a home console, a PC, a cell phone, or a portable gaming machine. Secondly, the Microsoft VP discusses why he thinks Sony is too alienating. In closing, he talks about rising game costs and how they could be combated with in-game advertising. We certainly understand that last point and do hope more publishers take advantage of the form of advertising.

Perfect for bar-hoppers who love to put a number on everything, (Dude, I drank 22 shots. Just now.) these earrings let you check at a glance just how hot it really is. While the thermometers do actually show the ambient temperature, they’re not necessarily indicative of how “hot” their wearer is, lest one’s self esteem take the blow on a 40 degree day. They’re available for $40 from Elsewheres, perhaps for a belated Christmas gift.

Okay, actually not - but someone at Wal-Mart needs to get on the ball as it pertains to the PSP product description. According to them, the PSP has an IR remote control, uses “UMC” media, has a microphone port, and a port which you can connect a controller to. Oh, and it only has a directional pad. Still, this isn’t as bad as the laptop that Best Buy advertised as having 256 GB of RAM a couple of weeks ago.

1.4 GHz Celeron Overclocked To 4.159 GHz
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Mods / Hacks, PC / Laptop,
Notorious processor overclocker “Crotale” has just pushed a 1.4 GHz Celeron-m processor straight up to 4159 MHz. That would equate to a 197% overclock, which just so happens to be extremely impressive. No word on how long the overclock holds up, or how stable it is, but with a Celeron that fast, you can get some blazing word processing work done.
