So have you heard of the PS3’s Motion Controller yeah? It’s that Baton looking device that would look perfect if you were playing Buzz or some other trivia game.

Ta-dah! Yeah. The is the Playstation’s answer to Motion Control, much like how the Wii has the Wiimote and how the Xbox360 is going to have Project Natal. This Motion Controller was first revealed at E3 this year and at TGS this morning, more information was revealed.

Popular Seiyuu Nana Mizuki will be voicing the Japanese mascot for Windows 7; which is available for preorder in Japan starting September 24. Nana has voiced characters such as Fate from Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha, and Moka from Rosario + Vampire. Zenical is also a super fangirl of her, so now she will probably be forced to purchase a Windows 7 when it is released.
I really have nothing else to say… so here is a slightly relating video. Long live the PC!!! Death to Macs!

An animation of some sort for the the manga and PSP game .Hack//Link is currently in production. It will not be a television series, though what exactly they have planned is not explained in any detail. If I had to guess, perhaps it will be something similar to the .Hack/Liminality OVA’s that were released with the original PS2  games, or even a movie.

I am a huge fan of the original 2002 anime series .Hack//Sign. I lost interest in the spin off series which seemed to lack both …

The PS3 Slim, as mentioned will …

Well, how many of you have heard of Hetalia – Axis Powers? It’s a series of short anime episodes screened on the web, that re-imagines World War I and II. The show’s characters consists of different characters, each portraying a different country. e.g. Italia(Italy), Doiitsu(Germany) and Nihon (Japan).

The show’s first season had 26 episodes, and with the announcement of a second season, made earlier in April this year, it’ll bring the show’s episode count to 52. But if 52 episodes of Hetalia isn’t enough for you, fret not, cause there’s …

Just weeks ago, Sony showed us the PS3 Slim with a new price. Then we heard that the Xbox 360 was getting a price cut too at $299, the same price as the new PS3 Slim! And today, we have the Wii getting a price cut too. It seems that everything is getting a price cut ^_^”

The price cut will take place in US and Japan. In the US, the price cut will take effect from 27 September, 2009. The console will be selling at a new retail price of …

While it is very rare of me to say anything negative about my favorite series Rurouni Kenshin, I had never heard the Animax English dub till now. The dub which aired and was released in America was by Media Blasters and was by dub standards, decent.
