    Summer Atheletics Video

    By Shane | July 22, 2008

    We’ve got a video that compliments the Summer Athletics preview we posted yesterday. Look for this title from 49Games and dtp on the PC, PS2 and Xbox 360, too. I do like the fact that it will get you off the couch if you own the Wii version.


    Velvet Assassin Preview At Gamecock 08

    By Joe Haygood | July 22, 2008

    One of the surprises I saw while watching all the E3 coverage this past week was a new title I had not read much about, but became more intrigued as I learned more about the concept.  Velvet Assassin is a stealth/action game set in World War II.  I know, it sounds cliched, but believe me, it puts a new spin on the WWII game, while introducing us to a new protagonist that feels very real, and less plastic then a normal female lead in a video game.

    Halo 3 Porn

    By Shane | July 22, 2008

    If there’s a will, there’s a way. Xbox Live Gamer “xLustrous” on Halo 3’s file sharing figured it was more entertaining to share porn pictures on his Bungie account than artistic Halo 3 screenshots.

    Rapture on HushedCasket:

    Yesterday while playing in Halo 3 matchmaking, I was placed on a team with someone who insisted that I visit his file share as our game was starting. Figuring I didn’t have time to do this, I decided to wait until the game was over to look at his amazing Halo 3 screenshots. After the game was over, I navigated to my “recent players” menu and viewed the file share of the gamer.

    I’m not surprised that someone has figured out a way to get images of this nature on their account, but what surprised me was the fact that they’re currently still there. HushedCasket links to the Gamer’s account on the Bungie website, which is surprisingly still active with the message: “* This file has been reported for violating the code of conduct. Click arrow to view at your own risk”

    Xbox 360 Fall Update 2008, Questions Answered

    By Shane | July 20, 2008

    Major Nelson and co-host “e”, which I think is his actual Gamertag, answer questions about the upcoming Xbox 360 Experience update coming this fall – to which we have a video for here. To give you an idea of how far the Dashboard has come since the Fall 2007 update, check out all the old updates, compared to the new (in the video link above):

    Xbox Originals game download service, Family Timer parental control feature, and expanded social networking experiences. Xbox 360 owners can also look forward to enhanced navigation, profile, and video features and Xbox LIVE® Arcade Hits.

    Notice I highlighted “enhanced navigation”.

    Legendary Preview at Gamecock 08

    By Joe Haygood | July 18, 2008

    Yesterday, Spark Interactive’s John Garcia-Shelton was nice enough to sit down with us and talk about their upcoming title, Legendary.  Of course I had to start off with asking him why they droped the colon title, Legendary: The Box, and John told me it just did not go over well in testing, so we now have Legendary.

    The game puts you in the shoes of Charles Deckard, a renowned thief, who has been hired by a shady character to steal an ancient artifact, Pandora’s Box.  However, the full story has not been revealed to Deckard, who has been manipulated into opening the box, not stealing it, so it will unleash its contents upon the world.  The evils of hell escape and it is now up to Deckard, who has been empowered by Pandora’s Box, to stop the end of the world from happening.  Get ready for a long day.

    Don’t Ignore Your Girlfriend!

    By Shane | July 17, 2008

    Most women don’t like it when you give them little to no attention; when you go off with your buds and play Call of Duty instead of spending time with your sweetie, giving her that TLC she needs. Tessa let her boyfriend and her boyfriend’s friends know, in a rather delicate way, that she comes before Call of Duty, you noobs: *NSFW: Swearing and mild attention deprived angst.


    Halophax

    By Shane | July 17, 2008


    During a recent visit to a local Amp Your Game tournament, I met the guys who run Halophax. Halophax is an Atlantic Canada-based competitive console gaming organization with focus on Halo of course. The “phax” comes from Halifax which is where they’re based. Their goal is to seek out the best Canadian gamers, while providing an entertaining and competitive venue for all.

    Owners Craig Kennedy and Ryan Staples:

    What began as an event based initiative, quickly grew into an online gaming community. From the beginning, our goal has been to mimic the gaming style and atmosphere achieved by successful gaming giants such as MLG . By studying the details that our audience expects from a gaming venue, we are able to implement a similar concept on a local level. The attention to detail and quality of our event “product” has been the key to our huge success in such a short history.

    Check out Halophax as they might be in a city near you this year.


    Activision Says Rock Band Instruments Compatible with World Tour

    By Joe Haygood | July 17, 2008

    One thing that I have harped on with Guitar Hero: World Tour is that I did not want to have to buy a new drum set to play their game.   When the first shots of the drum kit for Guitar Hero: World Tour came out, many people immediately saw what I did - there’s an extra pad.  This immediately meant that my drum pads from Rock Band would not work with this game.

    Well, that may not be the case.  Today, Activision announced that all the instruments from the first Rock Band will work with Guitar Hero: World Tour.  Basically, the drum notes will combine the two cymbals into one, when it detects the Rock Band pads. 

    Two caviats - first is that this is only confirmed for the 360, PS3 owners are still in the dark on this one, and two is that the Rock Band 2 equipment has not be certified, because it has not come out yet for testing, so it may not work.  Time will tell on that one.  Still, this news allows me to get more out of Guitar Hero: World Tour when I rent it (yeah, it is still not a buy).
