Xbox One is Microsoft's Next Generation Console

Guess all the rumors and speculations were wrong.  The next generation Xbox will not be called the Xbox 720, Xbox Infinity or Xbox 3.  The Xbox One will be a new era in mixing gaming, entertainment and adventure into the living rooms of many.  According to Microsoft, more to be revealed at E3 2013 next month (June).

Sony's PS4 Teaser Video

Okay with less than 24 hours away from Microsoft's big Xbox reveal, what does Sony do to 1up them? Sony releases a PlayStation 4 Teaser Video.  The teaser gives us a glimpse of the PS4 console itself, some up close shot of the system itself and a look at the peripherals.  The final box may look like the blurred out image that we see in the teaser or it maybe a completely different design from what is shown here.  I believe the close ups are real but the blurred out box is just a place holder until the final reveal is done. At this stage, it is still to early to know definitively how the final design will actually look from just seeing a few zoomed in photos but for now we can purpose some ideas.

Naruto Shippuden UNS 3 $5 Price Drop

The decent has finally begun, Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 has dropped in price. Wait, before the excitement overflows, the price drop is only by $5 USD, but that is still good news as this is the start of UNS 3 gradual decrease in price before it levels off.  This interesting news comes on the heels of Namco Bandai announcing this week that Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 since its release date has sold more than 1.5 million copies.  By my calculations, that is approximately $90,000,000 dollars in revenue.  That is not bad at all for an anime type game that isn't even 3 months old yet.  The other question at this stage is whether or not he Goku DLC first run copies are all sold out at this point, or whether there are still copies available on sale.  As always, we will keep you posted on further price changes with UNS 3 and other games.

Get 500 Free Amazon Coins

Good news for all Kindle owners.  Today Amazon surprised everyone logging into the Kindle App Store.  You get 500 free coins or $5 to spend.  The question now is how to use it. The 500 coins must be used on either apps or games in the Kindle store.

My suggestion for games in the Kindle Store that you should use your 500 coin on, in no particular order are:

1. The Amazing Spider-Man (Kindle Tablet Edition)
2. N.O.V.A. 3 - Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance (Kindle Tablet Edition)
3. Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour (Kindle Tablet Edition)
4. Gangstar Rio: City of Saints (Kindle Tablet Edition)
5. Skylanders Cloud Patrol (Kindle Tablet Edition)

"Jailbreak your Playstation 4" wait... what?

A simple search for PS4 Jailbreaking and you will be bombarded with hundred of results for ways to go about jailbreaking your PS4. Are you kidding me?  The PlayStation 4 is still safely in the hands of Sony engineers and already the internet is on fire with methods, proof videos and tutorials to bypass the restrictions of your device.  It would be safe to say that when the PS4 first is launch we would see hackers swarming the console to get under hood and take control of the console.

Will OUYA sink or swim?

Will OUYA sink or swim?

Wait, what? You never heard of Ouya.  The next question you will ask is “what is Ouya?”.  Ouya is a low cost Android powered gaming console that was expected to be released on June 4, 2013 but was pushed back to June, 25.  The creators have stated that the Ouya console is not intended to compete with the other consoles in the market, namely the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360.  My opinion on the console is that if it optimized and fits into the niche that it created, and then it would be a success.  At this stage, it too early to judge the system based on the beta systems released.  At this stage, I can see the Ouya being a hit with children, families and causal gamers.  

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix - 09/10/13

Square Enix will be releasing Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix on September 10, 2013.  The game is like a remastered re-release of past Kingdom Hearts games such as Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Re:Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts 2.  The release will feature updated HD graphics and tweaks to fit the PlayStation 3 format.  I am excited for Kingdom Hearts Final Mix as the game was never released outside of Japan. Final Mix will include extra content not found in the original, extra boss battles and a few additional keyblades. I must say that this release is worth it, whether you are a fan of the Kingdom Heart series or not.  The retail price will be $40.00 USD ($260.00 TTD).  Square Enix also announced that pre-orders will come with a limited edition art book which is always nice.  The art book will showcase character designs, concept art and so on of Sora, Riku and the others.
