Earlier this week, Sony sent us an oddly timed media bulletin, trumpeting the PlayStation 3′s value versus the Wii and Xbox 360. It also accused Nintendo and Microsoft of “peddling add-ons.” What say you, Microsoft?
3D gaming is huge at CES 2009. It’s a great gimmick that blows the mind of the buttoned down conventioneer glassy-eyed from looking at television monitors and cell phones that are 0.01% different this year.
Miss Sony’s PlayStation press conference? You’re not the only one. Fortunately, G4 was there, cameras in hand, lens pointed directly at the stage, moments captured, off-screen video shot.
Games! Or, I should say, games. Mostly older games, but games nonetheless. CES isn’t the place for four year-old tech like the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. But that doesn’t mean they’re totally absent.
Sucker Punch pulls no punches in this new trailer for their upcoming PlayStation 3-exclusive free-roaming superhero game InFamous, which displays an outstanding disregard for public transportation, and the public in general.

This detailed glimpse of a bit of Halo War gameplay does more than show off the snowy terrain and unit design. We also get a chance to see how simplified they’ve made unit selection and description. I’m not sure if I love or hate that when you select a unit it tells you, clear as day, what that unit is good for.
Couple of new Killzone 2 clips from the CES showroom floor (so excuse the quality). The first one, showing the game’s ragdoll death physics, is good for a chuckle. The second one? Shows some bugs.
Radical and Activision brought a newly previewable build of the open world game Prototype to CES, showing it off in the THX booth. THX? Why? Well, Prototype is THX 7.1 certified on the Xbox 360.
Good news, girls. You’re getting new pink things! Technology is moving forward for things that girls like and we have proof from this year’s Consumer Electronics Show. Remember when all this stuff was white?
Sony dedicated one of the PlayStation 3s at its CES booth this year to show off its new partnership with Electronic Arts. The publisher’s newly announced space in Home, the EA Sports Complex, was playable.
