Although they just launched the browser earlier this week, 1.5% of browsers on the internet are using Google Chrome to look at the web. Not bad at all. If this rate of growth continues, everyone on the internet will be using the Google Chrome browser in only 67 days! Amazing! Chrome is the 4th most used browser on the web, and is rapidly gaining on number three, Safari, a browser thats been around for awhile. Internet Explorer and Netscape are the top two. You can download your beta of Chrome right here. Let us know what you think.

'PixelJunk Eden' Producer InterviewPosted by John Manalang - Friday, September 05, 2008 3:00 PM
Q-Games's puzzler title, PixelJunk Eden, has been out for a month now and trust us, it's one of the most unique and creative puzzle games you'll ever play. But please, don't just take our word for it... Sony senior producer Deborah Mars said in the preview below that the title is a "platformer" at it's core, yet it seamlessly blends in puzzle mechanics with very simple controls. You play as a Grimp, which is basically an organism that grips and jumps onto plant stems acquiring "Spectras" to take back to its home garden, "Eden".
PixelJunk Eden, published by Sony Computer Entertainment, is out now for the Playstation 3.

'Dead Space' Banned In Three CountriesPosted by Brian Leahy - Friday, September 05, 2008 2:47 PM
Sad news for gamers in Germany, China, and Japan as Dead Space, EA's upcoming survival horror game, has been banned due to explicit content. The game will release on October 14 for the PS3 and Xbox 360, with the PC version following shortly on the 20th. The game, which evokes memories of System Shock 2, is shaping up nicely and looks to be delightfully bloody. The dismemberment system in the game is both satisfying and effective for killing monsters. If you missed our direct-feed videos from PAX, here they are now: Dead Space Direct-Feed Puzzle Gameplay (Xbox 360)
Hit the cut for the second video.

The MMO Report: Friday, September 5thPosted by Patrick Roche-Sowa - Friday, September 05, 2008 2:41 PM
Oh, what a week it's been. I swear, sometimes public figures make it so easy to ridicule them that it makes me feel like I'm slacking off. Anyway, that's beside the point. What's more important is "The Perfect Haiku Contest" we're running, and how you can enter to win 5,000 Zen, the in-game currency for Perfect World International, which has opened their beta to the public. Here's how to enter: First, create a Perfect World International account by going to their website and signing up for the beta. You can create an account here, or just go to PerfectWorld.com and click the "Join Free" button. Next, make sure you have a G4tv.com account. If you don't have one, you can create one for free right here. Lastly, go to our submission page at G4tv.com/PerfectHaiku, read and accept the rules and regulations, and fill out all the entry fields you see before you. Bam. Easy. Remember, a haiku has 3 lines, the first and 3rd containing 5 syllables, the second containing 7. Don't expect us to be kind, though. You will be graded on how well you have completed your assignment, how creative your haiku is, and how much you make us laugh. The writers of the 5 best haikus will recieve an e-mail informing them of their winnings, and 5,000 Zen will be transfered to your Perfect World International account. You can thank us later. So knock this one out of the park, because Casey already does that for you every week, so you owe him one. This is... The MMO Report.
