By now I’m sure you’ll have heard the rumours regarding Project Natal launching with a new Xbox in 2010. Well, up until now, we’ve pretty much ignored them … why? Because we thought it was pretty absurd. Thanks to Aaron Greenberg, we know its not happening, and there’s nothing we love more than shooting down a ridiculous rumour.
Radical Entertainment marketing director Chris Hansell said DLC for upcoming open-world action game Prototype is being seriously looked at, but that the price would have to make sense.
“We haven’t announced… plans yet but we intend to really look at DLC and see how we can extend the experience,” he said.

This was one of those games I was not too sure about when it came out. I picked up a couple of times and put it back down not being sure if I would like it or not. Nowadays spending R550,00 on a game and not liking it will make a dent in the pocket somewhere. I had a couple of old games to trade so I made the trip to Canal Walk. There’s a little shop there that does rentals, trades and sales. Pretty cool little shop and you can pick up some real gems there, just keep going back once every 2 weeks and see what they have on the shelves. I traded Sonic the Hedgehog for Mirrors Edge and paid an additional R79,00 bucks, bargain! (Better than spending the R550,00!)

The year is 1486 and the Renaissance is booming in downtown Venice. A slightly scruffy assassin stalks the crowds dressed from head to toe in a white robe. That unknown figure goes by the name of Ezio, and with the help of his good friend, Leonardo Da Vinci, is on a mission to avenge the death of his family. Of course we’re talking Assassin’s Creed 2, I mean where else would a plot like this seem normal? Either way, Ubisoft Montreal’s showing of Assassin’s Creed 2 at E3 this year opened up a can of worms as Lead Game Designer, Patrick Plourde, demonstrated to us that Assassin’s Creed was just the beginning of something much bigger.
Xbox Live will be down for the entire day on June 16th. The maintenance by Microsoft will see Xbox Live and Xbox.com whipped offline for the day, as Microsoft readies up Xbox 360 for some of the E3 announced features such as Facebook and Last.fm on 360. You can still play offline though. Remember offline gaming? You will do on…
Meeting with Microsoft’s Scott Austin to talk about Xbox Live, there was little expectation of sexy reveals or big news, and what we saw during the briefing wasn’t flashy in any way. But there was still some really good news for Xbox 360 owners: Microsoft is getting set to update Xbox Live in a number of ways to make it…
It looks like that Microsoft have heard your pleas and complaints regarding their pretty awful Deal of the Week selections and this month, it’s a pretty damn good selection. June 8th-14th – Gears of War 2, Combustible Map Pack, 560 Microsoft Points June 15-21: Fallout 3, Operation Anchorage, 560 Microsoft Points June 22-28: Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix,…
By Chris ‘spiros za’ Hartley So, we were casually playing Gears Of War 2 (as usual) and waiting in the lobby for the next game to start when someone popped up with the question “has anyone played Bioshock?” There was an immediate reaction of great positivity towards it, even after nearly 2 years since its release. Everyone was commenting how…
The Halo universe was ripe with news at the Microsoft press conference from E3, detailing Halo ODST and announcing Halo: Reach at the same time. ODST is an expansion on the first Halo trilogy, only this time we’re playing as ODST (Halo’s version of Special Forces) Marines. While the whole campaign in ODST is co-op, an addition co-op mode called…
