pasmith wrote Xbox 720 headed to Gamescom, new Wolfenstein to next gen consoles, but no Battlefield 4 for Wii U Yesterday we got word of another confirmed next gen title launching in Q4 of this year. Plus good and bad news for Wii U owners, and Sony gets even more indie-friendly.

pasmith wrote Xbox 720 always-connected rumor debunked, PS4 share button nerfed, and Wii U to get mobile apps? A trifecta of gaming news shorts today, with the most important being about the much-rumored "always connected" aspect of the next Xbox. Never fear, you'll be able to play single player games without being online.

Microsoft research is working on a proof-of-concept system that uses a projector to extend video from a game or movie to the wall around your TV. Will this be the "Project Natal" of the Xbox 720 generation?

Amazon is crowdsourcing the decision of which of fourteen original content pilots (six kid's shows, eight comedies) they'll move forward with. I spent Saturday afternoon checking out four of the comedies and here's what I thought.

pasmith wrote Analyst predicts dismal Wii U sales for March, but a system update is coming next week Nintendo held one of their Nintendo Direct events yesterday. For the most part it was focused on the 3DS, but we did get some news about the Wii U.

Xbox 720 rumor week continues, it seems. This one has nothing to legitimize it, really. But it's still interesting enough to share.

pasmith wrote Rumor: Xbox 720 has HDMI pass-thu, cable box integration features similar to Google TV A new leak talks about the next Xbox's media capabilities. Fair enough, but what surprises me is the positive reaction to stringing IR blasters across your entertainment center. Also, the new Kinect is going to be creepy.

As unlikely as it sounds (to me anyway) this rumor just won't die. Can Microsoft be crazy enough to ship a console that's required to be online in order to function?

It's not too much of a stretch to predict that Google will refresh the Nexus 7 this year, but now we have some (rumored) specs to start fleshing out what we can expect to see.
