Xbox 360 Update Triggers Red Ring Rumors
2009-02-11 05:39:00
Hysteria can make elephants out of mosquitoes, so when I say there's a new Xbox 360 "red ring of death" rumor running rampant, digest with caution and sangfroid, dear reader. The most frightening thing The panicked dispatch in question comes from a thread over at Microsoft's official Xbox forums titled "Todays [sic] Update Red Ring ed my 360?" The message was posted on February 4th by a perplexed user and reads as follows:So I just turned on my 360 tonight and it tells me there is a system update out. I download the update and the 360 shuts off...but it forgets to turn back on. Instead it decided it would be best to just pass away. Is this an update error or just a random coincidence? Anyone else having problems? I would hate to say that it's a Red Ring even though I'm sure it probably is. Just seems way too random that right after the update it died on me, it did not even start back up at all after the update, just started flashing.The last Xbox 360 Dashboard update, revision 2...

Game Pre-Orders: The 14 Best Pre-Order Bonuses
2009-02-09 06:45:00
Ah, the pre-order bonus. Just about every gamer has encountered the often lackluster but occasionally awesome pre-order incentive. To entice gamers to pre-order a game, publishers or retailers often give away a freebie of some kind. The game industry has seen many pre-order deals, most of which are forgettable. But there have been quite a few noteworthy pre-order bonuses too.Our criteria for the consideration an item was simple -- it had to be offered as a pre-order incentive, either by the publisher or by a large retailer, and it had to be an item (not a price discount). There have been countless pre-order deals over the decades -- but these are the sweetest ones.14- No More Heroes Toilet Paper (click for a larger image) No More Heroes creator Suda 51 has in the past talked about how he often comes up with game ideas while sitting on the can, so it's no wonder that No More Heroes-themed toilet paper was given away as a pre-order bonus in Japan.

Retailers Considering In-Store Game Locks By 2010
2008-12-02 21:02:00
What if a game had to be activated at the store before you could use it? What if the discs in boxes were just shiny coasters until someone at the cash-wrap threw a switch? A new anti-theft system could go into effectby 2010. Not-for-profit trade group Entertainment Merchants Association is asking those questions and others as part of its proposal for a new anti-theft system that would effectively render video games and DVDs inoperable until they've been purchased and activated by an authorized salesperson.Don't confuse "activated" here with online authentication mechanisms, where you buy a game, take it home, install it on your PC, then connect to the publisher's servers to remove the digital handcuffs. EMA's talking about point-of-sale only, and when they say "inoperable," I'm pretty sure they mean literally unreadable and unusable. I'm also pretty sure they're talking about a physical tool that would be difficult and cost-prohibitive for ne'er-do-wells to duplicate.The id...

Though no specifics are given, it says that the company has received preliminary inquiries from Electronic Arts and Ubisoft .

Quieter, Cooler Xbox 360s Spotted With 'Jasper' Chips
2008-12-02 08:08:00
So long red ring of death? That's what some are asking now that slightly (and stealthily) revised Xbox 360s are finally trickling into the market. New on the inside, anyway, though without so much as a twinge of marketing pomp or circumstance. Quieter "Jasper " Xbox 360 models make their way onto store shelves. What's new? Three things, it seems.First, the graphics processing unit or GPU has shrunk from 90nm to 65nm, which in simple terms means "same performance, less heat." Less heat means the thermal sensors won't tell the fan to whirr like a leaf-blower, which makes for an overall cooler and less fortissimo experience.Second: The power supply's dropped from 175 to 150 watts (a 65nm GPU gobbles less electricity, after all) which means it ought to run cooler as well. Probably drops the overall power footprint a hair?Finally: The new revision adds 256MB of internal flash memory (versus the original models' 16MB). That's big enough to store the New Xbox Experience locally (it'...

Uncharted 2 Finally Confirmed And Named
2008-12-02 02:02:00
"Among Thieves" finds Nathan on the trail of Marco Polo.From the Game Informer story, the new game adds a free climbing mechanic and stealth gameplay to the existing run-and-gun exploration style of the original. In the video, Drake trudges through deep snow to retrieve an ornamental dagger lamenting that maybe he should have quit while he was ahead. Not much more can be gleaned from watching it, but along with the note from GI that the new story revolves around the voyages of Marco Polo it's a relatively safe bet that he's somewhere in Tibet. Polo spent many years in China during the legendary reign of Kublai Khan, Mongol ruler and founder of the Yuan Dynasty.And while the snowy wilds of the Himalayas definitely hold plenty of potential adventuring fodder, hopefully the sequel keeps to the globetrotting of the original and includes more of the lush jungle environments it did so well.

Grand Theft Auto 4 On PC Carries SecuROM DRM
2008-12-02 01:56:00
Traces of SecuROM will be left behind even after uninstalling GTA. The annoying SecuROM DRM returns with the PC release of GTA IV Many would claim that DRM is bad, and perhaps rightly so. But it's unfortunately a necessary evil in the videogame biz (at least it is if you ask almost any company this side of Sins of a Solar Empire publisher Stardock). SecuROM in particular is frequently employed by developers in order to prevent pirates from illegally playing their games. This tends to lead to backlash from the community, as we saw illustrated quite well with Spore, where a class action lawsuit was filed against EA and Amazon customer reviews took a nosedive -- and that didn't stop the game from being pirated, either.In spite of that, Rockstar has decided to use SecuROM with this week's release of Grand Theft Auto 4 on PC. Calling it "the most effective form of disc based copy protection," Rockstar provided details to IGN on how the game's DRM will work.Steam will be among the di...

2008-12-01 22:07:00
Ten years after the game's release, fans update the original Half-Life to fully take advantage of the Source engine.Been looking for an excuse to get back into the first Half-Life, but find yourself no longer capable of stomaching the decade-old graphics? Then you may want to keep an eye out for Black Mesa : Source, a gorgeous looking user-developed mod that dresses up the Half-Life we all know and love with the visuals and physics of Half-Life 2. As evidenced by the shockingly well-made trailer above, this thing goes far beyond previous attempts to update the classic FPS -- including Valve's own Half-Life: Source.The mod is scheduled to release sometime next year, and -- because the Black Mesa team created the game's assets from scratch -- all you'll need to play it is a Steam account and any one of the numerous Source engine games.

Owners of both a 360 and PS3 will face a hard decision when RE5 releases in March. Each console's Resident Evil 5 release will get their own exclusive content specific to the platform. Namco Bandai dared you to pick between Darth Vader and Yoda when it split the two up for the initial release of Soul Calibur 4 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. And while they've since (unsurprisingly) patched up that quandary for gamers with a downloadable content release, gamers in Japan with both a PS3 and 360 are going to face another this-or-that decision come March when Resident Evil 5 releases. You'll be finding yourself with some different exclusive goodies depending on which console you decide to play the game on, according to translations of a Japanese Capcom site (via CVG). We've contacted Capcom to find out exactly what their plans are for the North American release and were told they "will be announced soon."For those of you in Japan, don't get too worked up -- we're not talking about...

Burnout Paradise To Introduce New Island Next Year

"Big Surf Island " as large as Downtown Paradise , emphasizes big jumps. You are encouraged to jump higher in the new Burnout Paradise expansion Among its other planned downloadable content for 2009, Burnout Paradise is preparing to unlock an entirely new island. Dubbed "Big Surf Island" for its massive jumps, the area is said to be about the size of Downtown Paradise. The island will be the ultimate destination of the incomplete suspension bridge off the coast of east downtown. Big Surf Island is centered around long drifts and jumps larger than any of those in Paradise City. The most recent Crash TV also has an inside look at the new area from the developers, if you want to hear the direction of it straight from the horse's mouth.Like the other announced DLC for 2009, this pack won't be free. Though pricing isn't confirmed, adding a large area to the map is likely to be more expensive than additional cars, even if those cars are famous among geeks. We'll let you know more about...
