Prototype 2 trailer takes us to the Red Zone

A new CGI trailer has surfaced forPrototype 2, getting us all in the mood for some murderous action. In the video, Sgt. James Heller takes out a squad of baddies and some mutated freaks with his super virus powers. It’s pretty badass, all told. It’s looking good, but we’ve seen little outside of non-gameplay videos. I want to see the actual improvements to the game itself, because while I loved the first, it could have done with tightening up....

Reminder: There is just one month left until WiiWare closes up shop

Some great and quirky games are about to be lost to time One of the most concerning features of the all-digital future is the very real possibility games we enjoyed years ago will no longer accessible as technology changes.

Review: Nyrius Aries Pro Wireless HD for Laptops

Wireless HD video Connecting your PC (or game console) to your television isn’t necessarily difficult, but the cabling can be a bit of a hassle. The HDMI outputs on better laptops and most GPUs make it easier by sending both video and audio over one cable, but an optimal setup would still require Ethernet cabling as well.
