Though we have previously reported that Crysis is coming to the Xbox 360, publisher EA and developer Crytek are stating that neither Crytek, nor any other developer is making Crysis for the Xbox 360. Oh well.

Yes, the rumors have been confirmed. Crysis, the highly anticipated FPS is coming to the Xbox 360 as well as the PC. However, since the PC version is running on DirectX10, and the Xbox 360 version on DirectX9, some compromises had to be made in the physics and graphics department, but nothing major. No news whether there will be a PS3 version though. If there isn’t, this could be another huge slap in Sony’s face.

Dragon Quest IX for the Nintendo DS will be released this year, according to SquareEnix president Yoichi Wada. Don’t get to excited, because unless you speak/read fluent Japanese, you’ll have to wait for 2008, when the English version is released.

iPhone coming

January 11, 2007

The rumors are true; Apple, the folks behind the computers with no video games and iPods, will be bringing out an iPhone. The iPhone will feature a revolutionary mobile phone, a touch screen iPod (4 or 8 GB), and internet communication. It’s quite interesting how techonology is advancing. iPods within phones? Sounds like a good deal to me. You can learn more about the iPhone on Apple’s website or this video on YouTube.

Editor’s Note: This is totally not gaming news, but still cool.

No new Xbox 360 coming

January 11, 2007

Microsoft denies that a new Xbox 360 is coming. Chris Satchell, head of game development said to Gamespot that there won’t be a new Xbox 360… for a while. He said, that if customers will demand such an “update” than they will certainly consider it.

[i]Editor’s Note: This goes in line with the whole “we don’t comment on rumors” type of response. If they admit it or not, I’m sure something is in the pipe.[/i]
