Samsung Super AMOLED explained in pretty moving pictures (video)

Using “super” to describe your new display technology just begs for criticism. Especially when the word is affixed to a handheld display technology as notoriously difficult (if near impossible) to see in direct sunlight as OLED. Fortunately, Samsung’s Super AMOLED appears to have licked the outdoor readability issue while bettering the features that made us fall in love with AMOLEDs in the first place.

Medal of Honor 'not necessarily pushing the genre forward'

You’d think that EA would be doing its best to separate Medal of Honor from the pack in a very crowded first-person shooter market. The team at EA Los Angeles is, indeed, working to make the game stand out, but the experience is not likely to be the most innovative shooter you’ve ever played. Executive producer Greg Goodrich explained that the intent is to build a highly polished game:
What we’re focusing on is making a great first-person shooter. [If we don’t] put out [a game] that revolutionize[s] the genre, so …

Well, the console wars are officially over. Electronic Arts has announced that cynical “me too” fitness game, EA Sports Active 2.0, is coming to multiple platforms, but will skip the Xbox 360 for some reason. The Wii, PS3, and even iPhone are getting a version, but Microsoft has been left in the cold. 
The PS3 version looks like it’ll be the best, since EA has also revealed that players will get to download new workouts via the PSN. This news comes after EA announced that PGA Tour 11 would support Sony’s …

Steambot Chronicles 2 is (still) in the works

Yes! Irem has officially stated that the sequel to Bumpy Trot (known as Steambot Chronicles to western gamers) is in development for the PS3!
Well, still in development, at any rate. Y’see, Bumpy Trot 2 was first announced at the Tokyo Game Show…in 2006. After another quick trailer shown at TGS the following year (you can see it below), Irem went dark regarding the game until a magazine scan showed up in 2009 (also visible below).
Now, after some fevered prodding from ScrawlFX, Irem representative confirmed …
