Sony recalled their firmware update from the internet yesterday. They received several calls and emails from PS3 owners whom had various problems with the update. Only a small percentage of people had issues. The recall was described as temporary. The 2.40 firmware will be available when the problems are completely addressed. Those who did not get the download are going to have to wait.

If you read any good list of the best RPGs ever made, it’s guaranteed that Square Enix’s SNES classic Chrono Trigger will be on it. This holiday, Square is giving everyone quite a surprise, a remake of the game for the Nintendo DS. The remake will also be “revamped,” according to Square, featuring a new dungeon and wireless game modes.

Just a reminder to everyone, the 2.40 update for PS3 is now available on your system. Start getting those trophies!

The upcoming Lucas Arts title, The Force Unleashed, may look like another light saber, open ended Star Wars game. Which may be enough of a drawing point for some, but the game appears to offer much more than just appeasement of the Star Wars fans’ lust for laser blades and force abilities. The game is setting the bar for physics engines in a way the industry has yet to see. The game combines three well known physics engines: Havoc, DMM and Euphoria to create a pioneering graphical experience.  Read more

Did you think Capcom was going to let it’s soon to be popular Mega Man 9 tay by itself on the Wii? I actually thought they had secured the exclusitivity… I was wrong. Capcom announced today that the game will also be available via Xbox Live Arcade and PSN.

[Update] This was originally a mistake by the original site that posted it. Capcom commented on this and said that Mega Man 9 is only coming to Wii Ware.

I’d say it’s about time Blzzard finally made a sequel to it’s popular dungeon crawler Diablo II, a game which people still play to this day. At their latest conference in Paris today, Blizzard let the wraps off Diablo III and hd a full cinematic trailer, and a long, in-depth gameplay video for everyone to watch. Didn’t make it out to Paris for the event? No problem, Blizzard has both videos, along with more information, all up on their official Diablo III site here.

Greetings, fellow gamers.  I am the newest member of the Following Revolutions crew.  I go by the name Cosmic Hippo and feel I can offer some good insite and information on video gaming and related technologies.  I dabble in a little of everything game-wise.  I own a DS, Wii and a PS3 as well as all the last gen systems.  I prefer games that offer competition.  I mostly play fighting and puzzle games.  I try and stay competitive in several fighting games: Super Smash Brothers and the Tekken series to name a few.  I also endeavor into a number of single player games.  The Metal Gear Solid series has always been a favorite of mine.  My passion, however, is for classic games.  My gamer’s heart will always lie with the NES.  I play more virtual console titles on my Wii than Wii games.

I recently graduated from college with a Computer Science degree.  I took a few graphics and gaming classes and will use that knowledge to talk about the technical aspects and graphical enhancements of some of the upcoming titles.  I’ve also been a gamer for quite some time and look forward to writing about some classic and retro titles.  My other area of knowledge is gaming competition.  I can give some good insight into various competitve gaming communities.

I am excited to be part of the FR team.  You can look forward to some in depth reviews and interesting articles from my end.  You keep reading ‘em and I’ll keep writing ‘em.

If you’re like me, then you have been waiting for a new Mega Man game or a while. A good Mega Man game that is, not another battle network or something else. From a recent leak from the next issue of Nintendo Power, Mega Man 9 will be coming exclusively to Wii Ware with a big catch - the game looks like one of the original NES Mega Man games. Itrigued? You can find out all the information we know about the game so far, including screenshots, here.

We have a new member here at Following Revolution who goes by the name of CosmicHippo! He will occasionally post an article here on the website, and you might even get to hear him in a future podcast!

Have you ever bought an xbox live arcade game or purchased a video and bought a new 360 (or got it replaced) and found that you couldn’t access your paid content when you were offline? It was a big problem with the 360 because individual downloads were tied to specific systems when an internet connection wasn’t present. This has personally given me a lot of problems, especially with owning 3 360’s so far. Microsoft finally has a fix for everyone with a tool online that can transfer all of your DRM (digital rights management) to your latest console. You need to be at your computer to do it, and have access to your 360 with an active internet connection. You can find the new tool here.
