Futurama is one series that was cut tragically short, although it has a large and vocal fanbase even today. Well, consider this a blow struck for internet geeks, science fiction fans and anyone with a real sense of humor; Futurama is coming back! Well, sort of. It's continuing through a series of full-length movies destined direct to DVD. Hopes are high that good sales figures may bring the show back to life, so be sure to grab a copy. Here's the trailer for the first in the series.
Sony isn't taking the lackluster response to the PS3 sitting down; they now hope to re-invigorate their ill-received console by cutting the fat. The new PS3 will have 40GB of storage (down from 60GB), 2 fewer USB ports, and zero backwards compatibility with PS2 games. Sony justifies these cuts by reducing the price point by 1/3rd. Could this be a turning point in this generation's console wars...?
Orange Box launched last night, including Half Life 2 - Episode 2, Team Fortress 2, and Portal. I've been waiting eagerly for the release and found myself sucked into the devious and addictive world of Portal late last night. The gameplay centers around the ability to create and use dimensional rips that you place throughout the environment. Looking through a portal, watching yourself looking at yourself... looking at yourself... is a little bit Escher, a little bit innovative, and a little bit unnerving. Here's a Gameplay Video.

Two new featured games for you guys...
Two new featured games for you guys today, both exploring the lighter and darker sides of city planning.
Tower Bloxx takes a cheerful view of city construction; an addictive, simple minigame wrapped in a larger macrogame, you'll need careful timing to reach for the stars with skyscrapers which stretch to the heavens. Place the buildings carefully to allow for the maximum population to inhabit your thriving metropolis.
Via Sol 2 is a trip to the dark side, requiring careful resource management to ensure that your post-apocalyptic civilization survives on a variety of harsh new planets. Be forewarned; Via Sol 2 has a steep learning curve, and meticulous play is required to survive.
As YouTube video submissions for our PTV Sandbox Contest pour in, we're keeping a watchful eye for stand-out videos; keep 'em coming!
