In a sneeky swipe at gaming rivals Nintendo, Kaz Hirai the president of Sony computer Entertainment has branded the glasses-free 3D technology that Nintendo have used in their 3DS handheld console as ‘imprecise’ and limited.

“In in-house research, naked eye 3D for portable machines is not high and there are presently limits for it.”

Although Mr Hirai hasn’t actually had his hands on a Nintendo 3DS yet, it looks as though Sony are setting out to undermine the 3DS before it gets close to release and perhaps with good reason as Sony are sure to have invested time and money into researching the technology themselves.

SouthPeak Games has announced that Dementium II will be released in North America on February 16, 2010 and in Europe on March 5, 2010. I gotta say after playing the first one on my DS I am not looking forward to this one. Not because it’s bad but because it’s creepy!

Here’s a summary of Dementium II from SouthPeak Games:

“Dementium II continues to push the horror experience by melding FPS action and puzzles with a story and ambience that will have players on the edge of their seats. New wrinkles to gameplay, all new weapons, dual wielding items, improved interface and save system, and mind-boggling environments promise to engage gamers and spawn fear the likes of which some never thought possible.”

I can’t wait to see what rating this game is going to get.
