Microsoft Unveils Project Natal, Drops Jaws
Rumors of a new Microsoft accessory designed for motion-gaming has been talked about for weeks now and, at E3, they’ve not only confirmed it, but left folks excited in its aftermath.

Sony Ericsson F305 Review: Great Gaming Handset, Sadly It’s Not The PSP Phone

Will A New Large-Screen Kindle Save Traditional Media?
Print is dying – there’s no question about it. Traditional media in the form of newspapers and magazines have seen their best days come and go. For many, blogs have replaced both newspapers (as the main source for breaking stories) and magazines (for entertainment reading). Will the Kindle be able to save them? A hopeful [...]
