Dell XPS 1710 Gaming Laptop Review

Another article written for 2OLD2PLAY:

Dell XPS 1710 Gaming Laptop Review

It happened just the other day. That nauseating feeling you get when your laptop will no longer play the games you want. My Alienware held up well. Two and a half years for any laptop is admirable. The inevitable occurred, while playing Guild Wars, the laptop overheated 3 times. The kiss of gaming death! The Alienware will now find a place at my office running my business software and typing letters. Time to buy a new laptop! This time it’s a Dell XPS 1710.

Madden 2007 Development Manager Interview

This was posted in the sports forum as well...

I just secured an interview for 2OLD2PLAY with a person that was/ is a development manger for the Madden Series. Here are some of the things he does.

 "I'm Development Manager at the Tiburon Studio of EA in sunny Maitland, Florida. My team for the '07 product worked on the XBox360 version of Madden, and we are currently working on getting the PS3 version ready for ship. My team (or Pod as we call it) consisted of 7 developers and 2 producers. My pod was mainly responsible for:

Sony is in Deep doo doo with the PS3 limiting online usage

There is a vicious rumor circulating the net. But it smacks of Sony's arrogance so I thought I’d pass it along. The original article is at http://www.aeropause.com/archives/2006/09/more_ps3_rumors.php.

Sony PS3 in big trouble? – Part 2

This is a continuation of my blog post on 9/08/06 which is a reprint of a June article that appeared in our 2OLD2PLAY magazine. One point in that article talks about Sony needing a press makeover. Today I’m going to talk about that point and see if things are any better just 2.5 months before their launch date.

Sony PS3 in big trouble?

I wrote the article below for the magazine and submitted it on June 19th. I thought I reprint it here today and then in my next blogs talk about any progress Sony has made.



What can Sony do to recover from the bad press at E3

Sony was unprepared for the competition this E3. Both Nintendo and Microsoft have their sights set on the leader and can claim a victory in the prominent E3 public relations war. To recover from the E3 fiasco, Sony is going to need to address a few issues.

I wrote this news item several months ago but I thought I'd start posting some of my reviews here on my blog as well. Some are news articles and some are from the magazine. Eventually I'll have all my writing in one place. So lets start with the SlingBox review:
