Are you a Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition king who wants to share your numerous victories and health-draining combos with the rest of the nerd world? If so, Hauppauge has the solution for you in the form of the $199 Hauppauge HD PVR. The box records video feeds from a PS3 or Xbox 360 to a computer’s hard drive in a compressed H.264 format (PS3 records in the .M2TS format, while the Xbox 360 records in .MP4). You can connect the console (or numerous other boxes) via component video, S-video, or composite video, and record in 480i standard definition all the way up to 1080i high-definition. If you’re ready to rock, here’s how to record PS3 and Xbox 360 gameplay videos.

I’ll show you how to increase storage by upgrading my PS3′s 60GB HDD to Western Digital’s WD Scorpio Blue–a massive 1TB drive which you can purchase from Western Digital for $120. Here’s what you’ll need.
Captain America: Super Soldier is a HYDRA-bashing good time, even if the game is way too easy.
I lament modern AAA games’ over-reliance on guns as a vital gameplay mechanic, but all that pseudo-intellectual critical analysis went out the window when I had the opportunity to test drive Lightbox Interactive’s Starhawk. A third-person shooter slated for release in 2012, Starhawk is the spiritual successor to WarHawk, but with a focus on single player combat. But oh, Starhawk is no ordinary shooter.
Today, Sony announced new prices for its PS3 console, which officially reignites the console (and fanboy) war.
Once every couple of years or so, an anime video game comes along that completely blows away everyone who plays it, from the hardcore fans to the casual gamers. Bleach: Soul Resurreccion isn’t that game. The PS3-exclusive title serves up some decent fighting action, but ultimately, the overall experience is a bit flat.
Dungeon Siege III is a good (but short!) action-RPG with an excellent soundtrack and ho-hum visuals.
It’s GoldenEye 007 enhanced. In HD. Nuff said.
KOF ’95 and Baseball Stars 2 grace PS3, PSP.
