The biggest story going around today is around the Microsoft employee that went onto NeoGAF to bash Gran Turismo 5 and Polyphony Digital. Things started to heat up after it was revealed that the NeoGAF poster was a covert Microsoft employee trolling as a fanboy. The biggest irony is that Forza 3 is good enough to stand on its own merit without such antics.
In any video game discussion the two titles that are mentioned most frequently as games that all gamers must play are ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. These two games flew under the radar during launch but have since built an army of cult followers.

Need for Speed: Shift is a game that has been getting fairly positive reviews across the board. The game is definitely one of the better iterations to release in recent times.

After the release of the PS3 Slim and the price cut which accompanied it, and the Xbox 360 price cut as well, Nintendo had little choice but to act, and act fast. So from Sunday, Sept. 27, the Wii will cost $199 in the States, and supposedly will have its price cut by a similar figure in other territories as well.
A feature that is missing on the current iteration of the PS3 on the market is the lack in full PS2 backwards compatibility. The old launch models, which are not sold anymore, are the only PS3s that can play PS2 games.

The Xbox 360′s Red Ring of Death was a serious and much talked-about hardware issue that has affected millions of machines worldwide.
