, let’s get
things rolling with that Microsoft Patent shall we? This particular patent is
somewhat reminiscent of that old Nintendo classic, the Power Glove, but it’s slightly
more up-to-date on all the latest technology.
What I’m getting from the article on Joystiq is that the armband/glove
will respond to movement, I’m guessing through sensors places throughout the
device. But there is no real way to know what it’s going to be like until we
can see a demo of it, but it is one more step towards the future of not only
gaming, but the future of the world.
Target is
finally kicking out the Amazon Kindle out of its stores, which seems like a bad
business model seeing as how it was their bestselling item on Black Friday. BUT
they will continue to sell the Nook, and I’m guessing the iPad as well. I don’t
see why they are going to sell just the iPad and iPhone, when Bestbuy and
Wal-mart sell both iPads AND Kindle, again Target, that’s a bad idea to sell
just one of them, but who am I to care, I’m not the one who made the choice to
stop selling the Kindle.
Do you want
to listen to the soundtrack for Max Payne 3 without playing the game? Well I
have some good news, the soundtrack will be hitting stores, I’m guessing online
only stores this May, on the 23d to be precise, the band that’s creating the
music for the game, Health, has created a few hundred hours of music that has
been condensed for listeners, RockStar’s soundtrack supervisor Ivan Pavlovich
said that by using a live band instead of computer generated music, they have
created a soundtrack that’s more unique, so if you want to buy the music, you
can on May 23d.
And
finally, Ubisoft is going to be making some upgrades, not foe their games
though, for their studios up in Toronto Canada, reports say that they will be
taking on aver 800 new employees over the next ten years, Now I don’t exactly
know how they’ll accomplish that goal, maybe by hiring 50 to 100 people per
year? I don’t know, the one thing that I do know however, this must mean that
they have a lot of new content coming out, thus the increase of people, only
time will tell though.
