Dave: "Rockstar are creating a Grand Theft Auto 4!! "Stan: "wooo hooooow wick....Hang on....didnt we allready know that?"Its amazing how so little can become such big news.To be honest I wasn't really expecting to find out anything about GTA4, but hey...if they want to get me all excited about a game thats over a year away there aint nothing I can do about it..........BAS***DS.

The number of industry professionals attending E3 dropped from 70,000 to 60,000 this year.If they want to send me a ticket next year, ill be their friend!According to games industry biz this was intentional, as last year was considered over crowded so steps were put into place to try and cut attendance this year. Giving the booth babes more clothes to wear....that kinda thing!!!Source =

The EU is looking at having all new cars fitted with a new product called eCall.Which is hoped, will cut Road deaths by 2,500 a year across the EU countries.When a car fitted with eCall is in an accident, the device contacts a call centre with the location, details about the modal of the car and the severity of the crash. The operator in the call centre can even speak to the driver of the car to

On the 12th of April the power company that supply some of the servers for Blizzards life sucking game World of Warcraft, had themselves an employee strike which resulted in several servers shutting down.As way of resolve, Blizzard will be giving gamers on the effected servers a days credit to say sorry. Now if only they could stop Stormreaver from lagging and kicking me out or atleast give me a

We love high powered gadgets. But not all gadgets are about being bigger, stronger and faster....some are just about being down right pointless but cute. Like the solar powered nodding head people.The walkie bits are little turtles that swagger there way across your desktop with a happy little sway that says "hey, you may have a load of paper work to do, but put down the staple gun.....its not

Now living in Bournemouth, its about to get to that time of year when everyone jumps in their cars and invades the beaches. Lets face it. When the sun comes out we have to rush to get as much as we can. Now Im not about to go all medical on you because we all know we should not spend to much time in the sun and that we should cover up. It can be a little hard to judge though, how much protection

If you are heading to any Theme Parks over the next few months I would recomend some of these: With all the water rides and heat there where swarms of Mosquitos and bugs about and as you will be spending most of your time in line waiting, do yourself a favour and get a pack of repelant wrist bands. You can get them HERE. They are only £5 for 5 and better than being bitten the crap out of.

Last week the Gadget Monkey took a trip to Thorpe Park to try out the new ride, Stealth.Now its a little known fact that when the Gadget Monkey wants to relax, he likes to strap himself to massive industrial machines and have himself fired through the air at break neck speed. It was WICKED!For those of you whome dont know about Stealth, the main attraction is the fact that it does 0-80 mph in 2.3

Now here at Gadget Monkey we love a bit of wine and we know a bit about it. Well we like to think we do anyway. However with so much choice out their its hard to know what to buy. Probably why big brands like Hardys and Jacobs Creek do well. They are safe, well known brands. Shame they dont taste to great, in our opinion.If you however would like to try something different then there IS help out

Angl-Italian dance group "Planet Funk" are soon to be the first group to create a single that will be distributed via mobile phones. A first for Britain. Although that F**king crazy frog was available on phones, the song was available on cd. WHY?? we dont know either!!The tune will cost 99 cents and is to be called "Stop me". Im sure we will try.Its worth noting that 3's audio sales now account

Got $525 to spare? why not get one of these shipped in from Korea.The Samsung SCH-V870 has just been unveiled and is a credit card sized mobile phone.A good idea, but it has to be housed in a special wallet style case to carry a spare battery due to the fact that a thin phone means thin battery which in turn means crap battery life.I just hope that if its in your back pocket it doesnt snap, like

Back in days gone by, when microsft was showing of their Xbox 360 console, there was a charging device that kept poping up during promotion, apparently.

Ok weve seen them before. Only once though and they were going second hand in a GAME shop, but TV glasses/Visors keep being made.The glasses will give you the same view as if you were watching a 30" screen from a distance of 2 metres. The idea is to give movie/games/TV watchers there own personal viewing environment, but at $520 (about £300) you might aswell go buy a 30" TV that your mates can
