Internet TV is FINALLY Here

Internet TV

For Windows Vista users that have Media Center, Microsoft has released a new addition called Internet TV. This new section includes tons of TV shows, news, trailers and so much more. It’s great because it’s relatively high quality and it’s all free! Watching entertaining ads for 5-10 seconds and having the video load almost instantaneously is amazing.

Now another cool feature with this is the ability to sync with a Media Extender such as your Xbox 360. You can now watch TV shows on your Xbox 360 without paying for them.

I’ve talked about IPTV previously and as I said it totally rocks.

HP Gets Into Games

With HP’s new advertisement, it looks like they want to get into the game industry. Now we’ll be able to play cheap games – by cheap, I don’t mean monetarily. This advertisement proves that HP has no idea that gamers don’t want to pay tons of money for a handheld system even if it can do really cool things. Oh and especially when these really cool things are never going to look as cool as they do in the commercials.

You’ve already failed HP. Don’t bother getting into an industry that you don’t understand.

Halo 3 Obliterates Industries

Master Chief has gotten leaked

After only one day of being available in retail stores, Microsoft has come out to announce that Halo 3 has sold over $170 million worth of copies. This is bigger than any previous entertainment launch – even box office smashes like Spider-Man 3! In addition to that more than 1 million Xbox Live users have played Halo 3.

Say Goodbye to Bizarre Creations

To me Bizarre Creations is one of the best arcade racing game developers in the world. They’ve made everything from Metropolis Street Racer, on the Dreamcast, to the more recent Project Gotham Racing series. Each of their games has always been about improving over the previous title. However all of that could be about to change with the announcement today that Activision has now bought Bizarre Studios. Activision is known for milking franchises (a la Tony Hawk) and potentially now with PGR as well as Geometry Wars!

This is not a good thing folks. Anyone looking forward to the Geometry Wars for the DS and Wii, be forwornd that these two titles aren’t being developed by Bizarre Creations. Both games are being made by the terrible development studio called Kuju Entertainment.

If this is going to be the future of Bizarre, one where games are milked to the extreme, then I for one will not buy them. It’s very well possible that Bizarre could take Activision racing series and improve upon them, or continue to make their own original titles. Either way I hope that this previously independent studio can stay on top of its game and give fans what they deserve.
