Left Turn at Albuquerque

Growing up in the 80’s and having an IBM computer at home I was fond of many video games on my computer including Digger, Round 42 and Agent USA. Digger in particular was a great game. The gameplay in Digger is very similar to the game Dig Dug where one must dig horizontal and vertical underground tunnels while collecting treasures and escaping from bad guys. The game has been remade as Digger HD for PSN. It has been out since last October but will be going on sale for $4.99 starting this Thursday. View the trailer above.

Microsoft is planning on giving the Apple iPod Touch line a run for its money when it releases Zune HD later this fall. The Zune HD will feaure a 3.3 inch 480 x 272 OLED touchscreen display along with a built-in HD Radio receiver. In addition Zune integration is coming to the Xbox and Xbox Live which makes one ask will Zune HD be Microsofts answer to iPod Touch and iPhone applications?

Tonight will mark the first time you can watch The Simpsons in HD. On top of that, there will be a new show introduction which seems a bit long (see above). Of course if you’re interested in watch full episodes in SD right now, you can always check out Fox on Demand.

The only thing better than playing Puzzle Fighter II is playing it in full 1080p high-definition. Capcom released Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix last year sometime but I just got around to finally downloading and playing the full version. The addiction that took years to wear off is finally back only with better graphics. Not that this game relies heavily on amazing graphics. The addiction lies in the exciting gameplay of falling colored blocks and mezmorizing diamonds that explode. The game also features online play and high scores.

Available on Playstation Network and Xbox 360 LIVE Marketplace for $9.99.

Delayed for a month after failing seizure tests, WipEout HD is almost ready to fly onto your TV. The game will be running at an extremely fast 60 Frames per second and will sport some gorgeous graphics. The game will feature the same WipEout gameplay we’re used to from previously released wipEout games plus will add a few new upgrades in gameplay including music that changes depending on what’s going on in the race. If wipEout HD lives up to the PSP versions of the game then it will be a blast to play on the big screen. You can see more at PS3Fanboy.

Being a huge Street Fighter II fan, this news excites me enough to the point that I’d consider buying a 360 just for this game. Capcom has already released the Beta version of Street Fighter II HD on XBOX Live for the 360. Now I’m not sure how well the 360 controller will work with the game but the thought of doing hadoken’s in Hi-definition excites me.
