We all know that Microsoft has motion control games, Mii-like avatars and Wii-mote-like controllers up their sleeves. A new rumor has surfaced that the new Arcade bundle headed to shelves this fall will probably include motion controlers and mini-games that use the technology. For now, I’d set this rumor as questionable. Various game blogs have been throwing up motion control rumors for months and they usually turn out to be false. This time, the rumor came from Xbox 360 Fanboy. They have been credible in the past with rumors, but this one is just worded a little funny. According to the site, they got this rumor from ”a tip from a source close to Microsoft’s marketing department,”. Believe it if you want, but there’s really not much behind this one.
Just when we thought thongs were out, the maximum push-up control thong brief is discovered. We have no idea if this product works or if anyone in real life has one, but it certainly looks interesting. We discovered the product while surfing Perez Hilton’s blog.
Go undercover with a license to “shake what your mama gave you” with our new Double-O Collection! The “OO-Brief” provides maximum push-up effect with minimum booty coverage.
This design combines popular elements from our existing collection to create a Brief that enhances the lift, shape and volume of the derriere while also flattening the lower tummy and shaping the thigh. Features a pretty lace detail at the base of each leg piece.
Constructed of an inner and outer medium-control layer made of a Nylon/Spandex blend that creates a smooth seamless look under clothing. A high-compression latex middle layer provides breathable and flexible slimming of the tummy. A creative solution for those who want the illusion of slim and trim thighs, a tummy-tuck and a butt-lift without the use of padding.
Many people believe that the U.S. pretty much has the gold medal in men’s basketball wrapped up, but I feel it’s still too early to evaluate how strong the team is. So far, they have yet to play from behind or deal with their big men being benched for fouls. The true test of a team is the ability to overcome obstacles. So far, they haven’t faced any legitimate tests. Their 119-82 dismantling of Spain was impressive, but also makes me wonder if we have seen the team peak. Peaking too early or gaining too much confidence could be their undoing. Spain’s undoing basically came down to ball control. When you turn over the ball as many times as Spain did, you simply cannot win a game against anyone. Spain had what I would call an “off day” and I expect them to come back strong in their next match.
At this point, I’d say it’s premature to consider the American team to be sure champions. We have to keep in mind that they are not even close to the skill of the original 1992 “Dream Team” and the rest of the world continues to get better each year.
Nine new screenshots have been released by EA for NBA Live 09. This game series has come a long way since ‘Lakers vs. Celtics’ was released in 1989. 09 features Tony Parker on the cover and is set for an October 7, 2008 release. Some of the new features include “pick and roll control”, “signature playcalling”, “NBA Academy”, “lockdown control” and “Quickstrike AnkleBreakers”. According to EA, the AI has also been upgraded. I haven’t actually played the game yet, but from what I’ve seen, it looks like it is a considerable improvement over NBA Live 08.
Playing Blitz: The League on the PS2 was ok. But now with LT, you can bet someone’s legs are going to break on PS3 and X360. That’s right, Lawrence Taylor will be appearing in Blitz: The League II playing on the good ole’ New York Nightmare’s.
As the only videogame with a story mode exploring the darker side of pro sports, Blitz: The League II puts the player in complete control as he ventures through brutal on-the-field competition and entertaining off-the-field drama in his quest to reach the League Championship. Peter Egan (Playmakers) returns to pen the most entertaining Blitz storyline yet.
Microsoft has decided to do some house cleaning and reduce the number of crap titles on XBLA. Its a good measure that lets us know there will be some kind of quality control to where we spend our hard-earned monies.
In an exclusive interview with Marc Whitten, Xbox Live’s General Manager, Next Generation got some info on what criteria Microsoft would use to delist games:
* 6 months on Xbox Live
* Metacritic Reviews under 65%
* Less than a 6% Conversion Rate (meaning how often gamers who try the demo upgrade to the full version of the game)
Also, Microsoft will be funding a first-party studio focused on original XBLA titles and “putting our money where our mouth is,” said Whitten.
