"FYI: The timing for the Xbox 360 dashboard update has been slightly delayed," he wrote in a morning tweet. "I’ll havea...

Reports of Skyrim players encountering severe lag, particularly on PlayStation 3, continue to roll in even after the most recent patch was said to resolve those issues. From what we know this stems from the increasingly large size of players’ save game files, a problem that may take a big investment to fix.
Obsidian Entertainment’s Josh Sawyer offered up some thoughts on Skyrim’s technical issues recently in response to questions he received on Formspring. Sawyer works as a project...

With the big Xbox 360 fall dashboard update being released tomorrow, Microsoft has shed some light on when we’ll begin to see the new slate of third-party content providers show up on the system.
Support for several dozen providers was announced in October, although it was unclear exactly when they would be coming. None were given exact release dates with the exception of the UFC app (which allows users to order pay-per-views, watch on-demand content, and more), and that did us little good...

Posted by G4TV on Dec 05, 2011 | Leave a Comment
We first heard about Obsidian Entertainment’s South Park RPG last week when Game Informer revealed the focus of its January issue’s cover story. The mag is already going out to subscribers, so it probably won’t surprise you to hear that some key details about the game emerged over the weekend via a NeoGAF poster.
The South Park RPG is built on Obsidian’s Dungeon Siege 3 engine, though it sticks with the TV series’ 2D style of animation. Your player character, a new...
Kinect Games: Real or Fake?
Posted by IGN on Dec 05, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Oh Kinect, we had such high hopes. While you continue to tantalise us with promises of being the ’future of gaming’, and tease us with the potentially-good Kinect functionality in games such as Forza Motorsport 4 and Mass Effect 3, the reality is that a lot of the industry’s Kinect-focused output has been questionable to say the least. And it doesn’t look like it’s going to get drastically better any time soon.
So, in the spirit of poking fun at Kinect’s recent...
