Geek news, reviews & more

We saw the first glimpse of cross-platform gaming between the PS3 and the Vita back during E3 with a game called Ruin. What that showed off was the ability to start up the game on the PS3, save it and quit, and then load up that same game — along with your save file — on the Vita to play on the go. While many questions were raised by that demo, it opened up the possibilities of what could be done between the two systems. Well, now we’re hearing about a future update to the Vita that would let you play your entire PS3 library remotely. — More after the break!

Watch The Hobbit "Making Of" video blog with Peter Jackson, in case you've missed it

Lord of the Rings is something every geek far and wide holds close to them, and when the books written by J. R. R. Tolkien were brought to the big screen, the journey finally felt complete… almost like a chapter in history was finished. To much excitement, Peter Jackson has taken on the project of bringing The Hobbit to life, telling the story before the Fellowship set out into Middle Earth towards the Black Gates of Mordor. Even more awesome, Peter Jackson has decided to start a video blog to document the making of The Hobbit as it happens — Videos below (almost 50 minutes of behind the scenes footage.)

Siri on iPhone 4s vs TellMe on Windows Phone -Video

Siri on iPhone 4s vs TellMe on Windows Phone -Video

When Siri arrived on the iPhone, the world sort of stood still for a bit, wondering if it would actually perform as advertised. I mean, the service that Apple bought (Siri) was pretty breathtaking to begin with, and on the iPhone it’s even better. TellMe is Windows Phone’s version of Siri, which was available way before Apple even announced Siri — you think Microsoft would have used that time to make it work properly.

"The Kinect Effect" - Microsoft was dumb to deny developers in the first place - Video

"The Kinect Effect" - Microsoft was dumb to deny developers in the first place - Video

When the Kinect was released to the public it immediatly sparked ideas for better applications than just video games, but Microsoft did everything they could to “crack down” on 3rd party developers messing with Kinect. Developers hacked it anyways and essentially forced Microsoft to take the modding community seriously, because what they were creating was all incredible. Microsoft may not have the forward thinking required to see when something has potential, but they sure as hell know how to get us excited!
