Shake It, Baby

D-BOX Technologies introduced its new GPH-120 Hybrid Motion System today at CES, and if the number of people lining up for their chance to try one out is any indication, this less-complicated, less-expensive take on the company’s classic motion control technology is going to be a hit.

PlayStation Network Games Steal the Show

Sony had no shortage of enticing gadgets and technologies on display at their CES press conference last night, but the most exciting display for this unabashed gaming nut was a pair of upcoming PlayStation Network mini-games: Flower—a trippy, relaxing follow-up to flOw—and the cute-but-controversial Fat Princess.

Our 10 Best Software Award winners.

Nothing less than our picks for the best demo material of the past year.

Who needs the movies? Some of the hottest sights and sounds on Blu-ray have their origins in the airwaves.

I hate to admit it, but I’m becoming a bit of a TV junky again, after swearing off all but a few essential shows a few years back.

I had been managing fairly well, actually. Honestly, I had.

Then Blu-ray came along.

Push your home theater to infinity and beyond with these out-of-this-world sci-fi flicks on Blu-ray

In the annals of motion picture history, perhaps no genre has stoked the imagination and stimulated the senses quite so well as science fiction. There's something about gleaming metal entities and blinding bursts of projectile plasma that gets the juices flowing—and sets subwoofers in motion—in a way that mere earthly action never will.

If you’re shopping for a new display, don’t leave home without these indispensable Blu-ray discs. 

Over the past six years worth of “Show-Offs” columns, I’ve devoted who knows how many thousands of words to one singular goal: giving you the tools you need to blow your hair back, tickle your retinas, and prove to your guests that you have the best home theater on the block.

That assumes, of course, that you actually do have the best home theater on the block.

Be the Ball

If you've never played a Wii, it's completely different experience than you'd expect with a video game.

Take a game like Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 here. You use the wireless remote to swing like an actual golf club. Our friends at Gamervision.com have taken a look at the latest outing in the series.

Sex and Drugs Sold Separately

The missus and I have never been what one would call large-scale entertainers. Parties at our house are few and far between; our modest media room seating has rarely been strained—until last year, that is, when we found ourselves the host of biweekly Rock Band parties.

Since then, every other Saturday night our home is packed with rockers-in-waiting, champing at the bit for their turn at a microphone or faux instrument.

Suffice it to say, Rock Band 2 has been hotly awaited.
