Welcome to Mario Kart Gran Turismo 5
I am going to go ahead and assume that the much anticipated cart racing is the reason that Gran Turismo has been delayed year after year. I mean, it is clearly the most requested feature from all the GT fans. Most people don’t take the genre seriously because it has been greatly misrepresented by these silly games with turtle shells and extremely long rainbow road tracks. It is great to see that Sony if finally stepping up to the plate and delivering what true cart racing is all about.
EA is Making a Mistake with Mass Effect on PS3
So it was announced this week that Mass Effect 2 will finally be coming to the PS3 in January 2011. EA also clarified that they have no plans to bring the original Mass Effect to the PS3. It is great that PS3 owners will finally get to play Mass Effect, but EA is making a huge mistake by not releasing the first title in the series.
EA has the opportunity to deliver the entire Mass Effect experience to PS3 owners, but they are squandering it by skipping the entire opening chapter. Mass Effect 2 is a great game on its own, but the first game adds much more depth to the characters and overall story. Skipping straight to Mass Effect 2 would be like watching The Empire Strikes Back without having seen A New Hope.
Kinect Will Absolutely Ship With Everything Required for Both New and Old Xbox 360s
Everybody needs to get on the same page and stop spreading insanely false rumors. Way to many video game news sites and blogs have speculated that owners of the original model Xbox 360 will have to purchase some sort of power adapter in addition to Kinect. This is simply not true and there is no reason for anybody to believe it. Unfortunately, the rumor has been allowed to spread without question for far too long. The bottom line is that when Kinect goes on sale for $150 later this year, all the cables that are required for both old and new Xbox 360s will be included in the retail box.
