eT-Shirt Is Supposed To Have Some Medical Value (Video)

Posted: 26 Sep 2011 11:25 PM PDT

Medical value? Can it cure disease? How foolish to assume so, of course it can’t. What the prototypical eT-shirt does much better is monitor the wearer’s vitals. It also has a built-in GPS tracker and thermometer. Currently tested in a Madrid hospital, the eT-Shirt is showing promise.

Panasonic Outs HOSPI Communications Assistant Robot

The whole name is HOSPI-Rimo and by “communications assistant” is meant delivering messages to other people. Wait, don’t phones do that? Correct, but if the HOSPI-Rimo’s owner is incapacitated or bedridden (think old folks) then its HOSPI-Rimo to the rescue.

PlayStation Vita Hands On: PSP The Way It Was Meant To Be

Posted: 26 Sep 2011 06:15 PM PDT

The first thing you notice about the Vita once you get past the whole comical milk carton thing of lifting it way too quickly because it's much lighter than expected, is not any particular aspect of the hardware. It's the confidence that the unit exudes. Sony has learned how to make a proper portable games machine just in time to make the last great one that won't double as a smartphone.

Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Hands On: Look Ma, Both Hands

Posted: 26 Sep 2011 05:39 PM PDT

While it may have recently laid claim to one of the industry's most storied studios and revived one of the most cherished RPG series in existence, Bethesda will always be the house that Elder Scrolls built. As well as the house that built Elder Scrolls. And seeing how very few studios can manage a proper single-player RPG these days, much less a sweeping epic with fully explorable vistas that make your knees wobbly, there was no way we were going to miss a chance for some quality time with Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim at Eurogamer Expo.

Battlefield 3 Hands On: Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Headshot

Posted: 26 Sep 2011 05:31 PM PDT

Battlefield 3 is not a religious experience. But at times it can be spiritual. During the fifteen minutes we spent with it at Eurogamer Expo, there were perhaps five when we didn't feel like a confused young man caught up in madness he hadn't signed up for, but steeling himself to see it through. Slightly unusual for your run of the mill Deathmatch game, that.

Mass Effect 3 Hands On: Giant Mechs & Frisky Krogans

Posted: 26 Sep 2011 05:19 PM PDT

It was going to be incredibly hard to improve upon the towering achievement that was Mass Effect 2. Combat mechanics that sang, sharp level design, interesting side-quests that amounted to a lot more than the RPG default fetch or kill, astounding texture work, we were fairly certain not even Bioware could top themselves when we first picked up the controller to put the Mass Effect 3 demo through its paces at this year’s Eurogamer Expo.
