The marketing research company AYTM (Ask Your Target Market- not affiliated with the game’s parent company, Rovio), put out some statistics into the form of an infographic (who came up with that term “infographic” anyways…?). You’ll see a variety of usage statistics, devices used, and behaviors regarding the Angry Birds game. Oh, and the possible cures for this addiction.
See the ‘infographic’ after the break:

In the above video, Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson provides a trademark Clarkson-esque review of the new Warthog coming to Halo 4. Before appearing in Halo 4, however, the new Warthog will be drivable in Forza Motorsport 4.

343 Industries revealed at a PAX panel that Halo 4 is the start of a new trilogy that it’s calling the “Reclaimer Trilogy.”
Since Bungie left the Halo IP in Microsoft’s hands to go do its own thing, 343 Industries has taken over development of the Halo series. Halo fans are sitting on pins and needles waiting to see how the Halo story, or rather the Master Chief’s story, is handled in Bungie’s absence.
As a big Halo fan myself, the following video provides me with a bit more confidence in how the story will be handled. [click to continue…]

I remember the first time I played Halo: Combat Evolved at an EB Games store in 2001 – where I incidentally spilled a nearly full frozen mocha in front of the Xbox demo area while trying to kill an Elite. I bought an Xbox shortly thereafter for that one game. I bought an Xbox 360 in order to play Halo 3 and, most recently, Reach.
Bungie made what I consider the most memorable game ever. And now, it looks like Halo: Combat Evolved, the game that started it all, is coming to the Xbox 360 in its full HD glory (and maybe 3D too?). [click to continue…]

Sony dropped a couple of big bombs today on the portable gaming world. First, the long-awaited PSP2 (apparently, dubbed the NGP) was announced with a whopping 5-inch OLED touchscreen, dual analog sticks, front and rear cameras, and a touch panel on the back of the unit.
The NGP’s display sports a 960×544 resolution, which roasts the aging PSP’s 480×272 4.3-inch display. Additionally, the NGP features 3G, WiFi and GPS connectivity, along with accelerometer and gyroscrop motion sensing akin to the PlayStation Move. It’s also not going to use the PSP’s UMD media format, but Sony isn’t entirely clear just yet on what format you’ll be using to plug in games. The NGP won’t be available until the end of 2011, just in time for holiday shoppers.
The second big bomb is that the PlayStation Suite is coming to Android phones (Android 2.3 minimum req’d) this year, which will include support for emulated PSOne games in addition to newly developed titles designed specifically for the platform.
More details in the press releases below. [click to continue…]

Nintendo has added glasses-free 3D gaming to the popular DS platform with the 3DS. There are two screens on the 3DS; a bottom touch screen makes use of a telescoping stylus that is stored in the unit itself and the top screen displays 3D visuals to the naked eye. The 3D effect can be scaled depending on the gamer’s preference or even turned off. [click to continue…]
