Welcome to Game Gadgets, a regular column highlighting technology from the world of gaming and a gadget obsession that goes hand in glove with our gaming obsession.

To all those gamers out there thinking about taking their gaming experience to the next level and purchasing a shiny new HD television, allow me to make that decision just a little bit easier for you. The decision to spend your hard earned is the easy part, but deciding which type is where it starts to get tricky. The first of many choices you're going to have to make when is whether to go LCD or Plasma.

It’s time again to take a hammer to your beloved clay piggy and finger your precious pennies from his demolished body like a hyena nosing through zebra entrails. Damn now I want a kebab.

This week we take a look back at Splinter Cell: Double Agent. Our last foray with gold medal spy Sam Fisher and the only one so far to make it to next gen consoles.

Tonight on That Aussie Gamecast…

We bundle together the most exciting news to come out of the Game Developers Conference including new God of War 3, Fable and Batman Arkham Asylum details. Madworld gets its flesh-ripping chainsaw stuck firmly in our Wiis and makes us wonder if this game got rated, do we really want to play a game that doesn’t. Does Stormrise live up to Aaron’s dangerously high expectations? The already gigantic world of Fallout 3 gets expanded even further with the Pitt. Worth your Microsoft Points? We’ll tell you.

And as usual we wrap up the show with our most anticipated games.

If you're a regular listener to the podcasts, you would understand that a lot of people do not share my sense of humour. Aaron quite often nervously chastises me if I ever make a joke against a developer, and it appears everyone's favourite 'videogame news' site, N4G, share Aaron's viewpoint.

I first saw Section 8 over a year ago as some amazingly cool concept art. The game appeared at the GDC recently complete with screenshots and it's certainly looking pretty nice so far. It's a sci fi shooter that liberally borrows its color pallete and general looks from Halo 3 and Tribes. Which is not a bad thing. As atmospheric as dark and dingy shooters are its about time we got something a bit more utopian and a bit less dystopian.

Infinity Ward ended Wednesday night's Game Developers Conference Awards with a teaser that will have fans of online multiplayer drooling like St Bernards over their keyboards.

I realise this is a videogame site, but this is totally worth it...
