Engineers at NeuroSky Inc. have big plans for brain wave-reading toys and video games. They say the simple Darth Vader game -- a relatively crude biofeedback device cloaked in gimmicky garb -- portends the coming of more sophisticated devices that could revolutionize the way people play.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "While not carrying the same heft it enjoyed long ago, last year was one of the adventure genre's most commercially-successful years in this century. A Telltale-esque adventure eclipsing 3 million sales in three months would be the talk of the town were it not for another adventure game hurdling over 10 million sales in two. Though not all finalists reached those heights, each did share a greater amount of spotlight compared to similar titles within their respective sub-genres.
Past any sales thresholds and popularity contests, 2025 also deserves credit for its creativity; the last time our entire shortlist consisted exclusively of new IPs was for Best Adventure Game of 2020. An impressive year for the genre, with even greater potential ahead."
Bandai Namco announced today that its popular flight simulator-lite Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has passed another sales milestone.
In One Man’s Trash, the junkyard isn’t just a heap of discarded relics; it’s a labyrinth of lost dreams, hidden treasures, and satirical secrets waiting to be unearthed. Armed with a souped-up vacuum cleaner, players plunge into a pit of chaos where every discarded console, cursed cartridge, and relic of pop culture tells a story. This isn’t just about digging; it’s about obsession, fortune, and the absurd pursuit of a hard drive worth millions. Step inside the pit and discover whether fortune truly lies in the refuse.

hey, maybe those PS9 commercials they had during the PS2 launch weren't as farfetched as we thought. Now that they're getting the first step done, reading the brainwaves, they'll soon be able to do the opposite and transmit brainwaves. Think about it, it was best said in the matrix that our 5 senses do nothing more then send information to our brains and that's what we call reality. All that's needed to be done is find a way to create those waves that our senses create, and before we know it, full immersion virtual reality will be here.
i used to think of such as impossible, but after following technology the last few years, i started to think differently about it. things like nanotechnology and how computers have advanced in the last 10 years made me think that it's really possible for virtual reality to be made within our lifetime. every year, the possibility grows with new advancements in technology. if anything, a true virtual reality would be the next great thing since the computer, as it would change the way we'd live life as we know it. everyone would benefit and use it, much like the computer as the applications for VR would be endless. I wouldn't be surprise if DARPA hasn't already been pushing for this since it would provide the ultimate combat simulator, one which soldiers can consistently train in situations otherwise impossible to recreate without being in war. i could go on forever with what can be done with VR, but all I know is that it's a cash cow waiting to explode and the first one to get it will make bill gates look like a bum.
Imagine....me using "the force." :)
