Looking around the web today i noticed people saying that the store has something new. Aside from it currently not working due to EA/DICE and hereby making it impossible to play any map that was VIP only (thats over half of them). Map pack 5 is/was listed!
Adding 2 new/old maps like all the others, including White Pass Rush, Nelson Bay Conquest. Seems like it is supposed to be out the 28th. But no official word on Map pack 5 or the broken store.
Another day, another EA server fail
*Update*
Seems like the store and servers are working again
Do you need a new Xbox 360? Do you want an Xbox 360 Slim? Are you getting Reach? If you answered yes to the ladder two, or all of them, you could just got get yourself the newly announced Halo Reach Slim Bundle. Its 399.99, comes with a custom Xbox 360 Slim, 2 custom controllers, and of course the game. It looks very cool, and quite tempting, but I just can’t spend 400 bucks when it comes out. I am trying to save up for the Legendary Edition, but looking at the cost of that, and comparing it to buying two games and some change, I am not so sure anymore. What are you doing? Did I mention it launches with the game on September 14th?
Rockstar has obviously had enough with the online cheating going on, and is sending out it’s own team to stop these cheaters.
A message on the company’s website reads in part, “…to ensure we preserve the integrity of gameplay for all online, we are actively working on new features to counter against the isolated incidents of abuse that go on. They also went on to announce a patch for the game (hopefully out within a month or two) will fix some of the nagging issues with online play. This patch will fix some of the bullying going on in free roam, by letting players choose where they want to spawn if someone keeps going after you. They also said that if anyone gets a six-kill streak in Free Roam mode will instantly attain “Most Wanted” status and the NPC law will get after them.
Rockstar has had enough, and if you are cheating; you will get caught and punished. Glad to see a developer cleaning up such a fun game with such fun online play.
Do you want to have a voice in the outcome of the next Carmine character (known as Clayton Carmine) in Gears of War 3? For those of you who have played the last two games, you can pretty much guess on the fate of the next member of the Carmine family. But if you are hoping to finally see things change for the family, then you will have a chance to voice your opinion by buying an Avatar t-shirt that tells the world what you think should happen. The t-shirt that sells the most will decide who Gears of War 3 gets written for the character.
And the good news about this is that Epic is not just trying to milk you all out of more money. Proceeds from this will benefit Child’s Play Charity.
So which shirt will you buy? Voting begins July 29th.

Microsoft today confirmed the release of a $200 redesigned Xbox 360 is on the way.
The new Xbox 360 model will feature the redesign unveiled at E3 last month which includes built-in WiFi and a proprietary plug for the Kinect motion sensor and a matte black finish. (Old Xbox 360′s will use USB for Kinect)
The new model, which will replace the $150 Xbox 360 Arcade model, will also include 4GB of internal flash memory. The model will have an empty hard drive slot, but Microsoft’s product manager Aaron Greenberg tells Kotaku there are still no news on hard drives for the new Xbox 360s. Continue Reading…
Microsoft’s Kinect add-on for the Xbox 360 will be $150 and come with a copy of Kinect Adventures when the motion controller hits stores in November, the company said today. Kinect games will sell for $50 each.
Microsoft’s news today confirms rumor about the price of the add-on that have been making the rounds since the date for Kinect was unveiled at E3 last month.
The Kinect kit will come with both the proprietary cable that works with Microsoft’s latest Xbox 360 and a USB cable and power cord that will work with the original Xbox 360s. Continue Reading…
So I was thinking today about all the games that I want to buy, and probably won’t have the money for, what is your list? For my reference and yours, I have mine after the break. Continue Reading…
In case you needed yet another game to run your wallet dry, here we are with RB3 getting the go ahead for October 26th. That is all, refer here. I know what I will be doing on October 26th.
PopCap Games, the worldwide leader in casual video games, today announced plans to release Plants vs. Zombies™ for Xbox LIVE® Arcade (XBLA) this fall. With an anticipated launch in early September, Plants vs. Zombies on XBLA will deliver more game content than any previous iteration of the franchise, boasting seven game modes, including two all-new multiplayer modes, 12 unique achievements and 21 mini-games. Upon its release, Plants vs. Zombies for XBLA will be available for 1200 Microsoft Points (US$15.00). Continue Reading…
We thought would start off our new 100 set of episodes with an early release and a shorter than most show. 101 is now available.
Did you watch the Video Game Awards? Did you marvel see this game trailer? Well now you can play it even though it isn’t set to release until next year thanks to 2K’s beta sign up form here. They will be accepting applications throughout the beta so make sure to get yours in, and if it starts, don’t worry they will continue to grow the population until they announce on the site that it is closed to new players. So go ahead, sign up, so we can do an FNL!
For those of you interested in Breach, the XBLA shooter, that was supposed to be here last month, it has been officially delayed until January 2011. Atomic Games (the developer) could not meet their June 2010 release date, so they have been pushed back to 2011 due to the XBLA releases till the end of the year being completely full… Bummer. Even though they are done with the game, they will be adding a Hardcore mode while we eagerly wait for the game. Sad day.
Good news for Xbox 360 owners, the Xbox 360 was up 88% in June moving a total of 451,700 units, and taking top honors beating the Wii (422,500) and thrashing the PS3 (304,800). Good job 360, but the only reason was the Xbox 360 Slim which for some reason is hugely popular…
So most of us knew that Gearbox set up a twitter account for General KnoXX. After his death on twitter (dated: 7:17 PM Mar 14th) There has been no word of him. Untill now, 18hours ago from now this appeared: tap. tap. is this on? had to turn my tweetergramming machine back on. just got some new orders. (sent from the future.)
So what could this mean? More DLC? Or a Borderlands 2 announcement soon? Only time will tell!
Even though we already know the unannounced Kinect price, Microsoft wants to make sure you know exactly when its announced by one of two ways. Option 1: Go here and sign up for the still named “Project Natal” newsletter. (someone should change that to Kinect by the way) Also, if your more the on the go type, you can get txt message alerts by texting KINECT to 30360. I don’t know about you guys, but I want to know when the fantasy pets pack 1 for Kinectimals goes on sale!
Title says it all, in case you were already bored of NCAA 11 (which you will be by then). I personally can not wait for Madden. For other reasons than just to play it.
So, lets go on a road trip! Well, Kinect that is, so is Kinect coming to your town? Check the jump for a list of towns. Anyone going to test it out? I won’t be checking it out at the Texas State Fair. Continue Reading…
