E3 2011 -- Professor Layton and the Last Specter teases your brain this fall
Okay, we know there’s a 3DS Professor Layton that still hasn’t come out stateside, so why is Level-5 going with this one on the DS? Well, Layton’s games are all story-driven mysteries, so to pass one over would be like skipping an episode of LOST or something. So before the series moves onto the 3DS, why not enjoy the Last Specter — the final chapter in the DS line of Professor Layton games — later this fall.
PS Vita will use flash based memory cards for games says official FAQ
We’ve been hearing about the PSP2 for a long time now, and with the PS Vita’s official NA unveiling we’re slowly getting to know each other better and better. Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, Modnation Racers, and Silent Hill are all making their way to the new handheld, but will they run on discs… or what? Sony wants to get you better acquainted with all the details with this official FAQ. — More after the break!





E3 2011 -- Hitman Absolution looks very pretty, also has naked shower chicks
Agent 47 has another mission to finish, and in Absolution’s debut trailer he appears to be doing it quite well; smashing people’s faces in, drowning others, and relying on ol’ fashioned headshots to take care of the rest. All done in IO Interactive’s new Glacier technology, Hatman has never looked this sexy.
Nintendo: Wii U will only support a single "WiiPad" controller
What I thought was a little off was when during Nintendo’s press conference they made mention that one person could use the Wii U controller while the other players could weild WiiMotes. Why would they have to do that, would they too get “WiiPads”? Apparently not. News.au spoke to the Shigeru Miyamoto, who confirmed that at the moment there’s only one controller per system supported at this time. — Details after the break!





E3 2011 -- Afterfall: InSanity gives us that Dead Space twitch
Survival horror hasn’t been the same since Resident Evil departed into a third-person shooter — that is until Dead Space became the new king of the genre. So when we first saw this Afterfall: InSanity trailer we honestly started feel that this was the first of many in a line of guaranteed copycats.
A Look inside Apple's iCloud data center
On Monday, Apple announced their new iCloud service during the WWDC 2011 keynote and people went nuts. It allows all iDevices to cut the cord (no more sync cable), music, photos and videos to sync across all devices and automatic backups to protect your content. Apple also introduced email, calendar and document services — but the really interesting part for us geeks isn’t the poofy, candy-coated consumer burble — it’s the tech behind the iCloud.





Performing crazy iPad magic tricks with iOS 5 - Video
Surprisingly, this video was created a day before the official WWDC 2011 keynote. Simon Pierro takes us through some of the “hidden features” coming in iOS 5 — like sharing milk through FaceTime, tearing off the homescreen and tearing off photos.
