The London Movie Comic Media Expo isn't known for its gaming section, with much of its attendees preferring other forms of entertainment. But all that's gonna change this year, or improve at the very least, because apart from the support of some of today's A-list publishers, the London MCM Expo is attempting to set the World Record for "largest number of people in costume for a video game."

If you thought that all the StreamMyGame service can do is stream your video games from your PC to your console, then think again.

Johnny Rotten may think of Guitar Hero 3 as a joke, but some guitar teachers would probably disagree. Dan Emery, owner of the New York City Guitar School, says that the game's popularity may truly motivate fans to learn the guitar for themselves.

Some guitar teachers, however, are worried that the game may actually kill interest in learning the real thing since people would find that playing a real guitar is harder than playing on a console. More in the full article.

Backward compatibility has been a major catchphrase of the next-gen consoles. Now, PlayStation 3 has its say on the issue.

Reed's Electronic News talked with Tom Reeves, VP of semiconductor and technology services at IBM,  about backwards compatibility testing on the PS3 and about IBM's co-designed Cell processor, used in the PS3.

When asked about how the Cell will affect backwards compatibility, Reeves said: “Sony is very concerned about quality and backward compatibility. They want to get this right. They tested game after game after game. When there were about 40 PlayStation 1 games that didn’t work properly, that didn’t pass their criteria for quality.”

The Cell will feature eight cores, seven of which will be used by the PS3. Reeves said that if one of these cores fail: “It’s just like a reliability failure on your TV or DVD recorder. If it’s within warranty, you send it back. If it’s not, your game doesn’t work anymore.”

So, maybe the PS3 will excel at backwards compatibility, where other next-gen consoles have lacked a bit. As for the cores...we'll have to wait and see.
