Contra 4 Review

Before we start, we received the game in the mail, and we need to review it.

The Contra games have been some of the most addictive shooters of our times, since it's launch in 1987 in our local arcades. That was back when machines were only 5 cents. It's always nice to see our old school times being brought back. Thats exactly what Konami did with Contra 4 for the Nintendo DS. A great way to celebrate their 20th anniversary.

Assassin's Creed: Ubisoft Doesn't Know The Problem

If you don't know by know, the PLAYSTATION 3 version of Assassin's Creed contains many glitches. One of these glitches is the in-air freeze. Altair jumps from a building and freezes in mid-air. You can move the camera around, but no matter what, everything stays still.

The way to beat this glitch? Reboot your PLAYSTATION 3 and hope it doesn't happen again. But of course, that isn't good enough.

Popular Mechanics spoke with Michael Beadle, Ubisoft’s senior public-relations manager. He explains that Ubisoft doesn't exactly know what the problem is, but they are trying to find it and continue to work on a patch. So there you go, when we find more information on the patch, we will update you.

Jack Tretton & The PLAYSTATION 3 Comeback

Jack Tretton of Sony Computer Entertainment America sat down with MSNBC for an interview discussing Sony's strategy for the PLAYSTATION 3 for 2008. Jack describes the PLAYSTATION 3's first year as "the first inning of a nine-inning baseball game ... You're not going to win many baseball games if you panic when you're down 1-0 in the first inning." He talks of how the price cut boosted sales greatly, the upcoming exclusives, and other stuff we already know.

Tretton says the system is designed to last a decade, and by then, everyone will love what the console has to offer.

He ends it speaking about the arrogance that has been said about them on the internet, saying that they aren't arrogant. He says that bloggers and press started the idea, so it stuck with people.
