We posted the commercial video of Ridge Racer 7 several weeks ago. Now our friends at IGN show us an uber cool video review of the game. What makes Ridge Racer 7 so special is the 1080p resolution graphics running at 60 frames per second. It also features 5.1 surround sound and free online gameplay. The game has around 40 cars, with each car having around 200,000 different modification possibilities. There are also 20 courses available to drive through forwards or reverse. Find more pics and watch the video review after the jump.

There’s an entire army of Skype phones that can make calls on both the Skype network and the regular landline, but the RTX Dualphone is the first that can do both without a PC. It comes with a charging dock, a base station, and a handset (duh!). The base station can connect into both your ethernet network and your landline, giving you freedom to take the cordless handset anywhere in the house (and your neighbor’s house). It will set you back £109.99 (around $205), so it’s not exactly cheap. The price for technology, mister.

It’s been going around that for some strange reason the Zune doesn’t like Windows Vista. Well Windows Vista is not even out yet, so I don’t know why anyone would bother. But just for the sake of satisfying that inner geek inside of all of us, there’s now a solution. We’ll tell you this much, it involves your Zune CD, WinRAR and a MyZune.msi patch. And if that doesn’t work you can always try a what Andre de Cavaignac did with a Microsoft-made disassembler for MSI, but don’t blame us if it turns your Zune into a brick.

Ubisoft has confirmed that Rainbow Six: Las Vegas will be delayed on the PlayStation 3 and PSP, until January 30, 2007. However, there is no specific reason has been given for the delay. It has been assumed that the delay was caused to add online play feature to the game, while the Xbox360 version was released yesterday, with online multiplayer support. So far, the game has received raving reviews by the few sources that have gotten the chance to try the game out.

I can’t believe it! The Nintendo DS will soon be able to play music. How is this possible? Using a special cartridge that can accept SD memory cards, the console will locate and play MP3 files. The player will come with a 512MB SD card, but you can use larger capacity card. Unfortunately, video files are completely incompatible.
This special function will also be available for the Game Boy Advanced and the Game Boy Micro, and looks like it will lead to a complete repackaging of the DS as we know it.
