There are a lot of ways to record your PC gaming sessions but most of them eat into your processing power. Nvidia says it's going to fix that with ShadowPlay and its new GTX 780 video card (or any Kepler-based card).

Tuesday's Xbox One reveal answered some questions but also left us uncertain about a number of key topics. Microsoft seems less than concerned that they've left so many potential customers rather confused.

pasmith wrote Farewell Xbox 720, hello Xbox One. Microsoft reveals its next gen home entertainment console Some thoughts about the presentation and about questions not yet answered, such as how Xbox One will impact used game sales and what the truth is about the rumored 'always connected' requirement.

Today's the day Microsoft wows us (I hope) with it's next generation Xbox. So how does Sony combat that? With an ineffectual teaser that comes across as just sad...

Ouya gets $15 million in funding, delays launch and improves their controller. Meanwhile Gamepop offers a subscription-based Android gaming solution for your TV. But many questions remain.

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.

If you've left the Wii Fit fad behind but still have the hardware, here's a way to put the Balance Board to use that doesn't involve the Wii or a television.

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?

Sony loves their DualShock 4, Nintendo doesn't love press conferences, Xbox 720 rumor re-runs and Valve gets one step closer to a Steam Box.

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.

A Sony exec offers hints around the PS4's launch price, and another completely anonymous (and perhaps completely fabricated) and crazy Xbox Durango rumor hits the web.

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.

Today we have rumors about the next Xbox's reveal date, pricing, internals, and more!

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?
