Rumors abound - New Xbox in 2012 with ATI graphics chip
Written by Porshapwr Saturday, 17 October 2009 08:58
Rumors and speculation are running rampant this week. Are there really new Xbox and DS consoles in the works?Fudzilla is reporting "industry sources" told the website that graphics chip manufacturer AMD/ATI has already won the GPU deal for Microsoft's next-generation Xbox console, the same company that developed the current Xbox 360 graphics processor. They say Microsoft wants to allow for backwards compatibility of older titles, and using a compatible chipset will make that happen.They would continue to speculate the new or "refreshed" console could hit the market by 2012.
When asked for comment, Microsoft issued its standard response to IGN, saying "Microsoft does not comment on rumor or speculation."
There's also talk that graphics company nVidia has signed a deal with Nintendo to implement its latest Tegra System-on-Chip processor in the successor to the current DSi handheld, according to BSN's "confidential sources."
The website also states we could see the new handheld in late 2010, possibly at next year's Tokyo Game Show, and it will be backwards compatible with DS games and applications.
When asked for comment, Nintendo issued IGN a very familiar sounding response, saying "We don't comment on rumor or speculation."
The Microsoft rumor seems more likely at this point, simply because it actually makes sense. Nintendo, meanwhile, has no motivation releasing a new DS anytime soon, and certainly not as early as next year.
Borderlands DLC Announced! - UPDATE Release Date November 24th.
Written by Losthursday Friday, 16 October 2009 08:13
UPDATE:
Gearbox announces an official release date of November 24th 2009. For PS3 and Xbox 360. So get your Zombie Killing Guns ready and your looting self ready for some Dr. Ned's Zombie Island DLC. It is priced at 800
($10) for Xbox Live and $9.99 for PS3. Nothing about Level cap increase but there is promise of some great Zombie Killing and who doesn't like Zombie Killing and some more loot. Maybe we can get an awesome alien weapon called the "Dezombifier" or a Zombie weapon that sucks up zombies and then shoots them back out. Maybe I'm getting carried away.

Recently I picked up a Linksys Wireless Router model WRT54G2 to use with my home network, and soon realized that the router I bought was one of the only routers that didn’t support the feature with the Xbox 360 to stream video from a PC. My Xbox would connect to the Internet, my PC would as well, but I couldn’t connect from my Xbox to my PC to stream the video. I combed through forums and discussion boards and the problem seems to have something to do with the UNDP settings and capabilities of the router.
Gears of War 2 - Best Title Update Yet?
Written by Losthursday Tuesday, 13 October 2009 10:36
According to the Gears of War official website a new title update is on the verge of release. By the sounds of it, it seems like a pretty significant change to the overall gameplay. While this is the 5th update for the game, the updates have rarely been touted with lines like - "Get ready to experience Gears 2 like you never have before!" I'm wondering how amazing can this title update be. The hope is there, that this becomes significant, as there are multiple gameplay hiccups that need to be fixed. Now with the recent hacking exploits the game can be at times unbearable.
Maybe EPIC has it in them to crank out the title update we have all been waiting for.

Games Versus Gamers
Tuesday, 13 October 2009 08:55
Everybody knows and understands that gaming evolves. From the NES to the Wii, hell from Atari to Xbox 360. The evolution of gaming consoles and games is great. And over the years our games became more complex and challenging and it was great. The developers always kept us on our toes.
The other day something happened and it made me wonder when will gamers, as in us, you and I, max out our capabilities.

Activision has announced plans for upcoming DLC for Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2. Soon a new playable character will be added to the roster, Carnage. The redder, skinnier version of Venom has not been given a release date or price tag yet.
I hope some Achievement points accompany this DLC, otherwise I'll be skipping it personally. Anyways, take a look at the video. It does look pretty cool.
Xbox Dashboard Update Coming Soon
Wednesday, 07 October 2009 22:35
The newest Xbox 360 dashboard update is set to roll out mid-to-late October and connects us all as never before with built in Twitter, Facebook, and Last.fm. Although apps and videos will not be supported we will all be able to Tweet, and post, and hell even Face-creep our buddies all from the comfort of our couches on our consoles. Now I have a reason to buy the chatpad attachment for my controller!
This is one thing I love about Xbox 360, they are constantly upgrading and improving the core dashboard. It keeps the console fresh, new, and sleek, while keeping me happy with my choice to be an Xbox freak. Keep your eyes peeled, word is they are sending out sneak peak updates to select Gold members.

Easy Achievement Boost Sales? You don't say!
Written by Losthursday Wednesday, 07 October 2009 18:55
In an interview with OXM (Official Xbox Magazine) Gearbox president Randy Pitchford claims that games with easy achievements can undoubtedly increase a games sale margin by anywhere from 10 to 40 thousand units after its release. This isn't at all surprising, but I am impressed that someone like Pitchford came out very clearly and openly to make this claim. It makes sense though, a low budgeted game with widely known easy achievements will sell it's worth on the achievement merit alone.
