Quite Expected? Angry Bird Rio has hit 10 Million Downloads on Apple’s App store for iPhone and iPad and Google’s Android Running Phones.

Competition is heating up in the gaming zone. But the eternal question is, shall I go for Xbox Kinect or PS 3 Move? Both are equally appealing and offer varied games and gameplay options. So which one is actually better?
I’ve had my friend who bought PS 3 Move over Xbox Kinect. He’s got some reasons to tell you why. Here’s Nikhil, take over.
There are so many options for 3D gaming today that it has become difficult to choose what to buy. XBOX Kinect and PS3 Move are all very good but they have pros as well as cons.
Lets start with XBOX Kinect. It senses the direction in which your body moves and thus is very advanced but the single main problem with it is the absence of button(s). It brings down the agility with which you perform the moves and also brings down the variety of moves that you can perform. Moreover, it’s quite slow at recognizing your actions. You also need to be fit in order to use it as your whole body needs to be used while gaming with it. Another big problem is that you require a large drawing room, a minimum of 2-3 feet distance between you and the kinect sensor for a good gameplay experience.
Playstation Move on the other hand is much like Nintendo Wii. It is much more accurate than XBOX kinect but then the main problem with it that you can only use your hands for 3D gaming. So games like football cannot be played in 3D using a PlayStation Move but when it comes to shooting games like killzone or sports (except football), PS Move is certainly the best. The T button which is in the back of PS Move is also very useful. The buttons are in comfortable positions which make it better then Wii. There is a large variety of games available for Move compared to Kinect. So Happy 3D Gaming with Move!
So PS Move is what you should preferably buy as it gets the upper cut due to higher accuracy and better gameplay. What do you guys think about it?

Tron Special Edition Razer Mouse
Tron is the latest gaming mouse presented by Razer,which is known as one of the best company for gaming apparels.
Special Features
Looks
The mouse indeed, like the rest of Razer Mouse series looks stunning. It has a Disney logo on it. The design of ‘Tron is inspired by the World and Vehicles of Tron. It has been designed to be perfect for left handed as well as right handed users. The Glowing light adds to the magnificent looks of the mouse. It’s got to be the gamer’s dream.
What I think about it
It has a specially programmed button for some of games for example World Of Warcraft. The Mouse is perfect for a bigger hand and this is what most of the gamers want. It’s pricing in kinda’ high ($99.99) but it gives you great value for money as its looks with features give a deadly combination and fulfill a gamers true desire. In few words, “Gamers, Get that now!”.
We will be trying to get a hands on review soon!
Pacman, Tetris, Maria were all then. Today from Halo to World Of Warcraft, we’ve got games of all sauces and juices. The most eminent game today, Farmville. The fact is, there are more virtual farmers than actual one’s, and i wasn’t joking.
Social gaming revolved what people do online. Go to office, sit back and raise pigs! Yeah, honey!

It’s not been an eon since Nintendo last claimed it’s enemy : Sony. Big N didn’t take time calling Sony a already defeated enemy after looking at sales figures which are well above it’s Microsoft and Sony Counterparts.
Major sellers, Nintendo Wii took a 21% decline in sales, and financially a drop of about Y51 Billion while maintaining it’s supremacy over other consoles. Lastly Nintendo called the iPhone OS premature for game developments, but Nintendo’s CEO himself came over to state Apple as it’s future enemy.
This is quite visible because the developers fleeing to the app store to have their own share in the gold rush. With over thousands of gaming applications, Motion Sensing and HD support make iDevices a complete blockbuster pack for family gaming. iPad crossing a million sales in meagre amount of time could have hurt Nintendo’s sentiments because, not now but in future it obviously meant the Cupertino guys were coming to raid the gamers market too!
Nintendo is looking forward to revive the “surprise” level amongst it’s products and bring back the magic. Waiting to see what they’ve got next.

Now thats for sure that, someday, Microsoft is going to come out with this soon. We are currently don’t know what is it exactly about but here’s another piece of job posting which might clear somethings out.
This person will focus specifically on what makes gaming experiences “LIVE Enabled” through aspects such as avatar integration, social interactions, and multi-screen experiences.

In this iPhone powered world (or atleast iPhone buzzed world), we won’t make a mistake of under-estimating the iPod touch which is also a major player in the market.
Recently, when the survey was made about the most sold gaming consoles iPod Touches were high on the charts and this Christmas iPod Touch has topped a lot of things.
App Store download stats
First and foremost being the app store downloads. According to Flurry, which provides statistics about Application downloads on handheld devices, stated that Apple’s app store saw a 51% growth during Christmas and that there was about 1000% growth in downloads from iPod Touches!
This is why people around the web are telling that iPod Touch’s were the most gifted devices this Christmas (surely when compared to iPhone). It’s raining apps for Apple! [MobileCrunch]
There’s something else we had stated, referring to this. When Apple did add a video camera to iPod Nano and not to iPod Touch we said why they were doing this, so that they could sell a hell lot of iPod Touches this Christmas and then later add a camera and those who bought iPods would probably upgrade to the newer iPods soon. I am really looking forward to their January event!
Ea Sports recently unveiled Fifa Earth, the only application you need to do to keep yourself updated with the Fifa 10 fever!
First off all,the Fifa Buzz section tracks down twitter to tweets talking about Fifa 10, and shows you in a nice to fidget with interface. It also shows how many tweets have been in the last hour and represents the tweets on the Globe.
Live tweets about Fifa 10
All Worlds a Football
Fifa Earth does prove it right though. The second section of the Flash Web App, shows the ranks of forrball clubs all over the globe. Top Rankings, and stuff like that. Apart from it, it also shows the no. of Games that have been played and the number
when i am writing the post 33,811,799. Last year, over 2 Billion Games were played.
All these statistics have been collected through Xbox and PS3 network. After clubs it also ranks all the world teams too and ranks them. Well, it says that if you want your country to get the top rankings, warm up and start playing Fifa 10 now!
Recently there was some rumor floating on the web, as to Xbox may get some Social Networking features, to it’s existing service.
Well, these rumors are true now, and have been officially confirmed by Microsoft while talking to MTV. What can you Expect? Twitter, FaceBook and Last.fm integrations. This means, gaming along with Social Networking side by side is what you can expect in this Public Beta.
Sharing games your playing, checking out other users profiles, and status timelines could be the few of basic features available to the users. The update will be rolled out this month soon to some selected users, ahem ahem, i did say selected users.
It’s now. PSP go, is available all over the market, and Sony Computer Entertainment tells that it’s PSP sales have increased 300% after the launch of PSP Go.
Sony also tells that North American PlayStation Network revenue has got a significant increase and has seen a 200% increase in the downloads from the region, and this is some real god news for Sony.
With Releases of some of the most talked games on UMD, sony hopes to get the momentum on for then. Then comes, the Holiday Season, which they think will also help in giving the sales of the handheld console further boost, especially with Electronic Art’s Fifa 10! (I love that game too!).
Psp hardware sales have also shot up about 120 per cent. Most UK Retailers started selling PSP Go at the price of £199.99 and not the £224.99 price!
