Netflix Video Game Rental: The End of Gamefly?

Netflix is used to running people out of business. Their business model was so revolutionary and effective that they played a big part in the demise of both Blockbuster and Hollywood Video. Yesterday, they announced that they would be splitting up their mail service and streaming service, renaming the mail service to Qwikster. This new service will also start renting video games (for PS3, 360, and Wii), directly competing with Gamefly. Could Netflix yet again push another industry leader out of the market?

Resistance 3 PlayStation Move Sharp Shooter First Impressions

Resistance 3 released this week, and along with the regular retail version, Sony released a Doomsday edition which comes with the PlayStation Move Sharp Shooter. The PlayStation Move Sharp Shooter is kind of like a gun shell, where you place the PS Move and Navigation controller in the shell and it turns into a rifle of sorts. It’s built well, and most games make full use of the peripheral. So how does the Sharp Shooter work with Resistance 3? Not as good as I would have liked.

Driver: San Francisco’s Online Pass Now Free for Everyone

Companies have been “rewarding” players who purchase the game brand new with a "free" code that occasionally unlocks extra content, but most of the time just unlocks the multiplayer portion of the game. Today Driver: San Francisco released and includes one of these unlock codes; however due to a printing error many codes don't work. Ubisoft has fixed the issue and now you won’t need that code at all.
