GamerTell @ CES 2012
GamerTell will have a presence at CES 2012 starting later today. I will be in Las Vegas later this evening and you can be sure I’ll be running myself into the ground to bring you as much news, photos and videos as I possibly can.
CES 2010: Disney shows off arcade style racer Split Second
Disney Interactive is burning up the Xbox showroom floor with Split Second, a racer that is poised to provide a unique take on a well-represented genre.

A year later Sony and Blu-ray still have not garnered that much anticipated victory. One of the biggest obstacles is…
