firefox coming to the ps3?! please be true [rumors]

firefox-+-ps3-logos

Sony rolled out firmware v. 3.10 for the PS3 today, bringing Facebook integration to the system. Your boss will now know that you’ve been playing Pro Evo 2010 instead of writing your blog posts. Yay. Screw that, here’s something us PS3 owners can look forward to: a PlayStation Insider source who’s “very close to Sony” says…

a slightly different wonderland in alice is dead

alice is dead

Alice in Wonderland kicks off with the fall down the rabbit hole, and most games based on the adventures of the iconic young heroine follow suit. Such is the case with Alice is Dead, though from the title, you may have already guessed that things take a turn for the ghastly early on in this browser-based…

rockmelt, a facebook-integrated browser: wtf or ftw?

rockmelt-browser

Internet Explorer is still the world’s most popular internet browser, but its market share has dropped because of sweet alternatives like Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari. And if ReadWriteWeb’s “reputable sources” are to be believed, a new challenger is about to drop a metaphorical token in the metaphorical arcade machine that’s playing the metaphorical video…

the great red herring chase will wear your fingers out

great red herring chase

The Great Red Herring Chase would be notable for its name alone (how great is that?) even if it wasn’t an attractive, interesting Flash game. Luckily, it is all of those things, and maybe a few more.

In the noir-influenced Great Red Herring Chase, you assume the role of a private dick (of course) looking to track…

microsoft: it pays to use internet explorer 8

desperate-measures

This is how things are in the browser world: Opera never recovered from its commercial days, Safari is… okay I guess, Firefox is customizable, Chrome is speedy, and Internet Explorer is owned by a powerful company with lots of money. Case in point: the big M is giving away $10,000 (USD) to a lucky (?)…

morbid flash game really lives up to its name

morbid pastel games

Fans of point-and-click games who don’t mind a little pixel-hunting from time to time might be interested in checking out Morbid, the latest from Pastel Games. Morbid is an aptly-named brief adventure in a starkly-drawn landscape plagued by evil.

Morbid kicks off with a very dark introduction that invokes plague-infested Europe in times of old, and the…

trend micro offers web security for psp and ps3 browsers, no one cares.

trend-micro-logo

Anyone who owns an internet-capable device knows that browsing without a keyboard or a good keyboard interface is a pain in the ass. As a PSP and PS3 owner, I can say that that is the case with both systems, not to mention the pathetic, slow-ass connection on the PSP. But if there’s anyone out…

that’s no shooter: kissma, the kissing game

kissma party tencho game browser kissing shmup scrolling horizontal

So the vast gaming frontier is pretty well packed with shmups of all kinds. Scroll, bounce, dodge, a little running, a little gunning–whatever your preferred action, you can get it in a shooter… and now, that even includes kissing. Which is to say not shooting at all, but that’s how you gotta roll in Kissma.…

download a very early build of google’s chrome browser for intel macs

chrome4mac

A blogger/developer has compiled a very very early build of Google’s browser, Chrome that runs on a Mac. I tested it myself a couple of days ago and it’s fast alright.

It’s so fast that it left most of a browser’s functions at Google’s labs: plug-ins don’t work so it can’t play Flash videos. There’s…

opera + itunes + chrome + ??? = safari 4 beta

s4-beta-1

The beta version of Safari 4 is now available for download.  I’m actually using it as I write this post, and while it is quite stable and fast, it’s not going to replace Firefox as my default browser anytime soon. I’ll tell you why later, but if you’re a Firefox user you probably know my…
