You might well have heard the Kinect looks kinda cool through night vision. I’ve stumbled across this HD video showing just what happens. I’m not an expert but it does seem to me as if the Kinect bathes the room with dots and then detects the motion through them. I’ve seen some demos from Rare […]
Fable III: Revolution
As computer games are as big as movies these days – if not bigger – they get professional agency treatment on the trailers. This trailer for Fable III is called Revolution. It’s a slo-mo montage of Fable III inspired images. Heck. They might even be scenes from the cut scenes. We’ll have to wait and […]
LEGO Wii Remote
Fancy building your own Wii remote? At the very least; do you fancy being able to decorate your own Wii remote? What if I said “Lego”? Interested now? There we have it – after years of increasingly clever Lego computer games (the joys of Lego Star Wars) we now have a $40 LEGO branded Wii […]
Hasbro brings NERF guns to Splinter Cell: Conviction
When I’m not being my geeky self here on Geek Native I get to my geeky self in a digital marketing company. Sometimes I get to hear about pretty cool digital marketing campaigns. This is such an example; Hasbro has teamed up with Xbox 360 to run an in-game treasure hunt across Splinter Cell: Conviction, […]

Chocobos escape Horsebird fate as Final Fantasy XIV begins to smell Chinese
Square Enix have a bit of a PR issue on their hands with Final Fantasy XIV. Suspicions that the game was written for the Chinese market came to the fore with Chocobos being re-named “Horsebirds”. Chinese characters had been popping up in the Japanese version of Final Fantasy XIV. Typically, Square would be mixing English […]
Mii slaying PlayStation Move ad
I don’t think it’s too hard to guess that PlayStation have the Wii in their targets for the PlayStation Move launch. It makes sense. They don’t want to compare the accessory to Kinect. They want it compared to the Wii. Even if the tactics make sense is it still not possible they’ll take the head-to-head […]
Mega unboxing: Looking inside the Halo Reach Legendary Edition
The Halo Reach Legendary Edition arrived, on time, at the humble flat and Rainbow One took many pictures of the unboxing. It’s a very large box. The controller game in a separate delivery! Not yet decided where/if we can put the models. They may need to be returned to the box. However, the initial impressions are “wow” […]
New Xbox 360 Dashboard for Kinect leaked
Wasn’t this bound to happen? We’ve a YouTube video claiming to be a leaked previewof the Kinect enabled dashboard (dasboard 2.0) for the Xbox. There’s always a risk with such “leaks” that its a fake but this one looks believable. My first impression is that this doesn’t look amazingly impressive. It’s just very familiar – […]
