Calling all Kinect wannabe fans! Gamers will be out in their hordes this weekend, or at least that’s if our suspicions are correct. Microsoft is taking its Kinect product on a UK tour so the public can try it out. Heading around the country, these ‘Kinect galleries’ will give everyone a chance to prance around and make merry; whether it’s playing bowling or making a colossal fool of yourselves on the hurdles game (we speak from personal experience there).
Onto something for the more hardcore gamer now: Halo: Reach has had a brand new campaign trailer released along with a celebrity competition announced. The competition means that the lucky winners will get to play with or against a crack team of gaming celebs including Rio Ferdinand, Ben Cohen and Jason Bradbury. If multiplayer isn’t your thing however then fret not, check out the new trailer and bask its pure awesomeness. Finally the Nintendo 3DS will be given official pricing and a release date in September. The handheld will be hoping to wow customers next year with it’s glasses-less 3D screen, check out our hands-on video of the 3DS and see if you’re just as excited as we are.
If you like your tablets then this may well be the thing for you. Check out our review of the Archos 7 Home. At only £180 it’s hoping to take a slice of the iPad’s sales by offering a classic Archos device that’s designed for the home. However, many will be disappointed at a lack of Bluetooth, 3G or GPS, either way, read up and let us know what you think on our Facebook page. On the subject of reviews, why not find out T3's verdict on Apple's Magic Trackpad. Essentially a larger wireless trackpad found normally on notebooks, Apple has given it it's usual stylish twist and added the multi-touch functionality that has made such an impression on the touchscreen technnology of today.
For those Android 2.2 worshippers, your days of staring up at the sky and asking the mighty Google to answer your prayers are over. Android 2.2. will hit unlocked HTC Desire’s this weekend in the UK. HTC officially announced they would be releasing the update whilst those on networked handset will have to wait a little while longer whilst they finish testing. The HTC EVO 4G is to get it’s FroYo update on August 3rd. This news may not be as relevant to us in the UK, but what it does mean is that HTC is starting to roll out the software on its handsets, which can only be a good thing.
Moving to another phone which we’ll never be able to have: LG’s Optimus Z has been unveiled in South Korea. Sporting a 3.5-inch ‘Hyper HD Display’, 1GHz processor and 5-megapixel camera, this is certainly a device that we would have liked to see over this side of the globe. However all is not lost after a spokesperson did confirm that ‘similar’ devices would be heading our way.
Moving lastly to the internet, we have a small, but we think, significant piece of news for you. YouTube has extended its max video length to 15mins. The website had previously only offered the option of videos longer than 10mins to premium users. Thanks to some tweaks behind the scenes however, it’ll now be offering 15mins of fame to anyone, free of charge. If you think you have what it takes then head over and join their competition for the best 15min videos where the winners will have theirs posted on the homepage!
Previewing the upcoming prequel to the phenomenally popular, blockbuster games franchise that is Halo: Reach, developers Bungie has unveiled improved AI and co-op online Firefight capabilities.
With over 2.7 million online gamers having already tested the beta level of the latest Halo title, Reach will arguably be the biggest games release of 2010 and a potential swansong to the Halo franchise. Announced yesterday, the launch of Halo: Reach would be accompanied by a competition for the nation’s best and most avid Halo gamers to compete in a celebrity team along side Manchester United’s Rio Ferdinand and The Gadget Show’s Jason Bradbury amongst others.
Set on planet Reach, the game will revolve around the Noble squadron of Spartans, a breed of human super soldiers whose mission is to save the planet from the infiltrating group of alien races known as the Covenant. Many Halo fans will already know how Reach ends, with the planets destruction, as this is where the original Halo title kicks off.
Speaking on the new Halo title due for release in the UK on September 14th, the game’s Campaign Designer, Niles Sankey, said: “It was really important for us to make a game that would be enjoyable and accessible by anyone and I think that’s one of the great parts about making a prequel versus a sequel. It’s a self contained story, your going to be able to jump right into it. Anyone that enjoys a great story, epic combat, and a wealth of ways to play with their friends are going to find a lot to like about Reach.”
Introducing a new Call of Duty style ranking system for online multiplayer modes, Halo Reach will also bring in a credit reward system that allows users to purchase equipment from the armoury with funds garnered through successful gameplay.
Despite the obvious sales success that this game will achieve, Bungie’s Community Director, Brian Jarrard, has suggested this could well be the end of the road for the intergalactic series: “We definitely have talked about this obviously it’s the culmination of a decade, working in these games, and not only is it a send off for our own selves, the best Halo game that we’ve always wanted to play, and the culmination of all those features and elements that we’ve enjoyed over the years, but we definitely do view this as a final send off for our fans as well.”
Samsung has confirmed it will release the Samsung Galaxy Tablet before October 2010.
The device, which will carry the Galaxy name alongside its smartphone companions will be packing a 7-inch display, have Android 2.2 on board, 16GB of internal memory and the rather tasty Samsung Hummingbird A8 processor.
As if that wasn’t enough, it’s touted to have 3G, WiFi and GPS which will undoubtedly make it the first real contender to the iPad since Non-Apple companies started revealing they would also be making tablets.
With Microsoft screaming to high heaven that they’ll be releasing a tablet, and of course LG confirming it will be releasing an Optimus tablet, it does seem like competition is on the horizon. However with their release dates a whole quarter behind Samsung, it seems the Galaxy will be the first into the ring.
Will you be holding off till the Galaxy Tablet? Let us know via our Twitter feed and Facebook page.
It's a Friday. The weekend is about to begin, and we thought that obviously, the first thing you’d want to know is that Deep Impact, Armageddon and Day After Tomorrow are just films. However, scientists have predicted that in 2182 we may just be on the receiving end of a 612-yards-wide asteroid, and as if to reassure us, we’ve been told there is a one-in-a-thousand chance that we’ll need to put paper bags over our heads. So for now, relish in the fact that it is an awfully long way away, and by then they’ll probably have old Bruce primed and ready to go anyway.
Ah, if only it were as silly as it sounded, in fact, now we come to think about it, it is as silly as it sounds. Unfortunately however, Paul Kane was not presented with a comically large key that would then inevitably go in a ridiculously large keyhole in the side of a wall. Instead he was given two smart cards which both contain the same share of an encryption key which would then ultimately unlock a ‘Master’ key. In Layman’s terms: A catastrophic event occurs, Mr Kane and six other chosen individuals can then ‘restart’ the internet. Sounds like something out of a film…just with ergonomic keyboards.
This quite literally has to be seen to be believed. Whilst practising for an air show Captain Brian Bews was showing off just what his CF-18 was capable of. Unfortunately, Captain Brian Bews then stalled his CF-18 sending it into a dive of literally meters. In those split-seconds he was able to eject, and has miraculously survived. The most incredible thing about it was the fact that parachutes don’t usually work as well when activated only a few feet in the air, and sideways. Well that’s one life down, eight to go.
No, we don’t mean Lady Chatterley’s Lover, we do actually mean, written erotic material. This must come as a colossal embarrassment for Jobs after Apple had erotic apps removed from the Apps store because they contained pictures of topless women. The book in question is certainly bluntly titled. ‘Incest urges of a Nymphomaniac’ by Carl East will most certainly not be everyone’s cup of tea. But what it has done is shout rather loudly at Jobs the fact that no matter how much you restrict it, the public loves a bit of the candid.
We really, really want to believe this is real, and even if it isn’t it’s a damn good forgery. A video has been released of an iPhone app that quite literally is able to pop corn, it shows the user opening the app, placing corn on the screen and….Bravo! This has done nothing but enhance our strong held belief that in the future you’ll be able to use your phone bake cakes, brownies, even a cheeky Sunday roast. Let us know what you think on Facebook or Twitter!
Bought the iPod dock for your vacuum cleaner? Purchased the iPhone speakers for your iron? Well here’s something to complete the set, a fridge mount for your iPad! This entirely baffling contraption is essentially an oversized magnet which allows you to stick your iPad to the fridge door, presumably so you can…..ok no we can’t think of anything. If you do think of a use then fear not, it’s very reasonably priced at a pound shy of £50. Bargain. Personally we’re much more impressed with this chaps use of Velcro; the video alone makes you want to buy one!
Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer HTC has officially announced it is to bring Android 2.2, FroYo to the hugely successful HTC Desire in the UK starting this weekend.
This initial desire rollout will only apply to handsets that are not operator-locked, however, as owners of network specific Desires are forced to wait until later in the summer for the FroYo update.
According to a HTC spokesperson, the reasoning behind this staggered release is because: "operator specific versions of the update are undergoing testing” adding: “we expect to make them available in several weeks' time."
For those lucky Desire users who splashed out on a SIM-free unlocked HTC handset, the news of Android 2.2’s imminent arrival will be a welcomed one further boosted by HTC’s announcement that: "As well as including the complete set of Android 2.2 features, the update will contain a few special additions of our own through the latest iteration of HTC Sense."
Expanding on these 'special additions' the comapny went on to say: "The update will provide 720p video capture, HTC's App Share widget, as well as our enhanced HTC Caller ID, and improved multi-language keyboard. Also, though the update, HTC Sync will allow HTC Desire users to sync their music with iTunes."
A tantalising array of new features, Android 2.2 will help push the HTC Desire back to the top of the mountain of Google OS touting smartphones available. Those HTC Desire users that are currently tied down to a specific network will be notified of the operating system update when network problems are resolved and their handsets automatically check for software updates.
A HTC Desire owner? Let us know if you will be turning to Android 2.2 this weekend or facing a considerable wait for network compatibility via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.
