You've Never Seen a Robot Drive System Like This Before [Video]

What you're looking here is a hemispherical omnidirectional gimbaled wheel, or HOG wheel. It's nothing more than a black rubber hemisphere that rotates like a spinning top, with servos that can tilt it left and right and forwards and backwards. Powered by this simple drive system, the robot that it's attached to can scoot around the floor in ways that I would have to characterize as "alarmingly fast." More »

F1 2011: The Pinnacle of Motorsport

There is something delightfully old school about the F1 video game franchise. It's largely down to the intricacies of adapting a sport as complex as Formula 1 racing to this medium. Take into account the research, reflexes and technical knowledge an F1 driver has to have running at the back of their...

Final Fantasy getting a rhythm game

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy for 3DS to require screen taps in sync with music pulled from long-running RPG series.

 

Apart from being a big role-playing game franchise, the Final Fantasy series has been known for its music, compositions, and live orchestra tribute performances like the Dear Friends and Distant Worlds concerts. In that context, it seems fitting that Square Enix is creating a rhythm game based on the Final Fantasy series' music is in the works for the Nintendo 3DS, according to a recent issue of Japanese magazine Weekly Shonen Jump (translated by Siliconera).

Final Fantasy has long been known for its music.

The game will be called Theatrhythm Final Fantasy and is labeled as a "theater rhythm action" title. Players will have to tap the 3DS touch screen in accordance to the beat of a selected song while the top screen displays field scenes and side-view battle scenes set in Final Fantasy locales. The game's art style will be colorful and reminiscent of the style used in Square Enix's mobile Kingdom Hearts titles.

A release date for the title has yet to be announced. For more on the music of Final Fantasy, check out GameSpot's recent Sound Byte article.

LeapFrog Announce LeapPad Explorer Tablet

Being both a gadget geek and a dad, I am very familiar with LeapFrog’s collection of gear. Their latest gadget is the LeapPad Explorer. It is a tablet designed for the 4-9 year-old set. My 4-year old loved playing with the Xoom while I had it, so I wondered what value could a kids version [...]

Hasselblad Could Make Cheaper Cameras For You and Me, Thanks to Owners' New Direction [Blip]

Some fancy Swiss/Germany capital fund has bought the Hasselblad company, and has big plans for its future—namely, that they want to open it up to new markets, most likely with cheaper ranges us civilians can afford. As CrunchGear says, this could be a simple rebadge of another company's point-and-shoots, similar to what Leica does with Panasonic Lumix cams, which would give customers the sought-after Hasselblad name, but won't do much for their reputation in the long-run.

Psn update and other game news

First of all I want to say congrats to all my fellow Norwegians, for it is may 17th, our national day! Or constitution day if you may. The weekend and monday have been slow on the game front and really buisy for me, well I've had a LAN at my apartment, so good-buisy. I've discovered some cool new games which I'm gonna write about very soon, mostly free and otherwise cheap games. I like to review casual cheap games that you might not have heard about, since the internet is flooded with information on the big ones. But anyway, I have collected some news from the week so far for you.

• First off: the PSN is back up! Not in all countries as we speak, but they are working on it one by one, so be prepared! The date was originally may 31, so this is a nice suprise from Sony.

• Ubisoft is in the process of making movies from some of their games. Splinter cell, assassins creed and ghost recon are still the only three games they are talking about, but more may come. It will be big projects and Ubisoft will be keeping sure that everything will be true to the games.

• Lots of short Modern warfare 3 teasers went up this weekend, every one of them for different countries, you can find them all on youtube of course, but here is the one for america.

 The last part is in russian, and means "One. Eliminate enemy hopes for victory."  (Correct me if I'm wrong russians).

Blogger bug

So the last two days blogger has been down and I haven't been able to even log in. The last three posts and the poll I put out the days before that has also been deleted and not even saved, so sorry for the lack of action and sorry for blogger's incompetent workers! Blogger says they are working on restoring the deleted posts right now since this have happened to absolutely everyone that uses blogger. So we'll see and hope they are able, if not I'll send an angry post and fix it myself!  No matter what I will be back soon!

Diablo 3 news

The wait is finally over, well atleast very soon. Blizzard announced this week that the diablo 3 beta will be coming this fall. No news yet on whether it'll be an open or closed beta, but atleast it's a sign that the release is not that far away. When it comes to the actual release of the game no date has been announced yet, but blizzard president Mike Morhaime says that a 2011 release is something they are hoping for. Even though we know blizzard loves to postpone releases and tease us over and over again, they usually announce their release dates very short before it actually happens ,so the release is probably going to come as a blow to the face just when we aren't looking. I'm actually going to believe blizz this time and say that the game will come out sometime between christmas this year and february next year. What do you think? Are you as optimistic as me?

Sumotori game review

Sumotori is a casual ragdoll fighting game, and it is one of the best small fighting games I have ever played! You play as a sumo-wrestler ragdoll and have to fight other ragdolls. The game starts with you and your opponent(s) touching your hands to the floor like in real sumo-wrestling, and off you go to punch the opponent to the ground. The loser is the first one to hit the ground, but you can still play the same game as long as you want. The special and best thing about this game is how the "dolls" move, i'ts like trying to control a drunk, blind and crazy man with loose limbs and springs on his feet. The juddering wrestlers move so unsteadily that even the slightest jerk is enough to send them into uncontrollable death spins. You’re basically your own worst enemy – one missed push and you’ve condemned your poor robotic wrestler to smacking his face into the ground, tangling his limbs up with the other fighters, having his adversaries pile on top of him and technically ending the match. But that’s when the fun begins.

A very common situation.

It is for 1-2 players but if you add computers you can play up to 4 at a time. You only have two attacks which are push, and push with one hand. And you move with the arrows, while the down arrow is jump, so no walking backwards. You can choose between lots of arenas and mods, for example the seesaw arena from the picture above, and mods like football, labyrinths, slides and tons more made by players, or you can build one yourself. I recommend this game to everyone, you will laugh your ass off untill your stomach aces. 

You can download the demo for free or buy it for only 4.50 USD here.

Portal 2 Secret: turret song

So I was playing around in portal 2 collecting achievements, and just for fun I fried the turret that is caged in course 16 with the laser, and to my suprise the cage opened and decided to check out if there was anything in there. I hear a song and underneath me I see four turrets singing a lovely song. I had to find a video of it and show you, it's the cutest turrets I've seen. Maybe you have seen it but for you who havent, enjoy!

PSN update

Sony is saying that they are busy improving the security of the playstation network and that it will be up by may 31. But sony is still planning to restore online gameplay before that date. As a welcome package to the european users they have now revealed that in addition to a year of identity theft protection and a month of playstation plus, european users will get a choice of two playstation games, and two psp games, but which games are not yet revealed. Us and the rest of the world will probably get something similar, but we will have to see. Sony promised last week that the online gameplay would be up by the end of that week, but nothing happened, so can we really trust them this time? It is a long time to wait but I have my doubts.

Assassins creed release date

Ubisoft finally revealed the release date of Assassins creed revelations last week, and it seems this will be yet another game we can spend our christmas playing. In revelations Ezio Auditore will travel to Constantinople, in the footsteps of Altair, in order to further unravel the mystery between the Templars and the Assassins. It brings back the multiplayer experience first introduced in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood with "more modes, more maps and more characters" according to the official announcement. Revelations will be the final chapter of the Ezio trilogy.  It will be out this november, wich I think is a perfect time for game releases! We desperately need alot of games in the winter ( atleast here in scandinavia!) The only thing the winter is good for is that it gives us more time to play (and it kills all the bugs). It really is a good country to be a gamer in, lol.  

Four rather special teasers was released a short time ago, if you want to check it out i recently wrote a post on it where you can see the fourth teaser aswell. Check it out here.

Brink launch is near

I'm excited, and can't wait to play it! Because I don't want spoilers I haven't read too much about it, but the things I actually have read and seen it seems awesome! I'm a spoiler hater but usually I can't resist. So here is a trailer that gives you just enough info and feeling of the game to make you excited but not spoiled. Enjoy!
