    Wii impression thread

    Corwin - my bad regarding the cable. I was sure the 60 GB PS3 had HDMI while the cheaper had component but my mistace there. Really sucky in that case on all parts. composit really is crap regardless the console. however - it doesn't change the fact that right now the Wii's SCART and Component...

    Wii impression thread

    Well, I'm not as pleased with the Wii so far. I've been wavering regarding getting one at launch for some time and when the pre-orders were filled up I decided I could wait. By chance I did stumble over a spare Wii at a small store (a pre-order which ahd not been picked up) and decided to give...

    Changing perceptions.

    Wii: My expectations of the Wii has gone up and down and up and down. Now that I have one I'm qutie dissapointed. After being used to HD-graphics the bland low-res graphics on the Wii are off-putting (well, hopefully the component-cable can help a bit) since I think that good gfx helps imerse...

    PSP Impressions

    Well, I'm currently testing various compressions settings for it. Spider man 2 is >2 hours which makes it a bit harder to fit on a 512 MB stick. One settings (15 fps, 3784 kbps, 64 kbps stereo sound) created a 400 MB file so you'll see that this movie isn't the easiest to fit on a 512 MB...

    PSP Impressions

    My impressions of the PSP: I imported mine and got it last friday together with Ridge Racer (Value pack BTW). I also got Lumines a few days later and am waiting for Puzzle Booble to arrive. * First impression: WOW! The screen is HUGE. And yet the machine doesn't feel that bulky/big. *...

    Tests on PSP battery

    FWIW - I've had my PSP for 1 week now. So far I've: * Played Ridge Racer about 2 1/2 hours total * Played Lumines about 3 1/2 hours (damn it's addictive) * Watched 1 episode of Enterprise (40 minutes) * Listened to 30-40 minutes of MP3 This was with middle brightness (I've seen people...

    first r420 review leak

    Small comment from Bjorn at bjorn3d.com. The aceeditor that were linked to isn't our 'real' editor. It is/was a goofing-around editor that was set up to allow staff to try out a WYSIWYG editor that I converted from ASP to PHP. No live reviews were in there and staff were using it to see if it...

    Eidos: Bye bye GC, you won't be missed

    ... I skipped from page 3 here since I just can't stand all this bickering. Just thought I contribute my own experience .. I've been to a few press events the last 2 weeks for both SWAT:GTS and then for a distributor called Toptronics (swedish) and one of the first things I noticed was that...

    World Racing or Tao Feng. Which one should I get?

    World Racing .. so-so Well, I got World Racing and I think it's just a so-so game. The graphics are ok but not exceptional. The damage-modell sucks (just as in most racing games - why do car-companies have such a hard time accepting that just because your car can look damaged in a game...

    Racing Evoluzione/Apex first impression

    Dural. Let me get back to you on this one as soona s I get home and can play a bit more. I will see if I can at least make a qualified guess about the framerate also - I don't have Rallisport or PGR anymore. I do have Quantum Redshift and Moto GP demos though. I never felt the AI so far has...

    Racing Evoluzione/Apex first impression

    Well, I'm gonna be honest here to say .... I have no clue. What's the best way to find out? Hmm, i could make a movie out of it .... I can try to hook it up to my video-in card ... although that won't do much good I guess it wouldn't capture at 60 fps anyway? So - what is the best way to...

    Racing Evoluzione/Apex first impression

    Well, I picked up Racing Evoluzione today. It's the game that is called Apex in the US (according to Infogrames webpage). I've been playing it for 3 hours now and so far I love it. Of course I haven't dug deep into the game but I've been playing the Dream Mode for a while now and built my...

    Connecting the X-Box to 5.1 speakers?

    Thanks Zurich. That should mean that even the INSPIRE 5500 5.1 DIGITAL should work since it also has a decoder. What kind of sound would you get in a set of speakers like the Logitech 640 which comes with some kind of adapter for consoles? This would not give true 5.1 sound I guess...

    Connecting the X-Box to 5.1 speakers?

    Nope - not a thread about why console A is better than console B or the sales numbers of Console C vs A in UK during 4 hours on the 28th of November :). I got a question regarding hooking up my X-Box to 5.1 speakers. I got the Advanced Scart cable which includes a RGB Scart contact and a...
