This little secret has been out since the day the “New Xbox Experience” went live, but I haven’t seen any great videos on the topic. If you are still looking to add strange colored hair to your avatar, check out the following video from GamingFront.net.
Dead Space currently has my vote for “video game of the year”. The latest demo for the game titled “The Dismemberment Demo” will land on PSN and XBL tomorrow. The official EA blog has some interesting news concerning the demo HERE. If you haven’t played Dead Space yet, I’m not really sure what’s wrong with you. It’s never too late to get in on the action though…
Sure, they missed the rumored November launch for the Grand Theft Auto IV DLC, but Rockstar has put an end to that web of lies today. The first downloadable pack for the game, entitled “Lost and Damned,” will be out on February 17, 2009 (Hey, same day as Street Fighter IV!).
The developer sent out a press release with a few screenshots (one of which you can see above) and will revolve around a new character and story thread. Interesting to see them expand on the universe a bit more through a new set of eyes. We’ll see how it pans out when the first of two exclusive, 360 episodes hits next year.
We’ve been playing the CoD: World at War beta at the Kezins Office for the last couple of weeks, but now everyone is welcome to join. Activision has thrown up the game on Xbox Live waters for all to play, peruse, and criticize.
It reminds us a lot of that little game — you may not have heard of it — Call of Duty 4, but now with the added benefit of scary attack dogs shadowing your every step! Even more (easy) kills after a 7-kill streak? Tsk, tsk.

Releasing on November 11th in North America, Mirror’s Edge is a First Person shooter (FPS) powered by the Unreal Engine 3 with the addition of new lighting, developed by DICE. Mirror’s Edge aims to “convey the strain and physical contact with the environment”, according to senior producer Owen O’Brien, and to instill a freedom of movement not yet seen in the first-person genre.
With gaming season in full swing, companies are trying their damndest not to fall behind in gamers’ eyes. You guys keeping track?
Demos for Tomb Raider: Underworld and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts are now available on Xbox 360. Mirror’s Edge’s demo has been pushed up landing on PS3 tomorrow (Friday on Xbox Live) and those who pre-order Left 4 Dead can get their hands on some sweet zombie action November 6 (360/PC).
Waiting to try any games out before dropping three Jacksons on them?
Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode 2 is available next week on the Xbox LIVE Arcade, Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. 6-10 hours of play for $15 isn’t too shabby of a deal. The first game was actually pretty good and Episode 2 includes some improvements. Next week, the XBLA is looking weak as usual, so this is something I’ll more than likely pay for, unless Penny Arcade wants to supply us with a download code (hint to PA).

In this special “un-smoked on” edition we delve into the new Bioshock 2 teaser trailer making the rounds online, Portal’s trek to Xbox Live, and San Andreas will be an Xbox Original soon for those of you who haven’t picked it up. Shame on you if you haven’t. Really, its been out for a few years now (4!).
We reported on Microsoft’s upcoming “New Xbox Experience” (out Nov. 19) a few days ago and now, the company has released some details on how it will facilitate those without a PROPER Xbox 360.
If you own a “Core” or “Arcade” unit, you’ll be given the option to upgrade to a 20GB HDD for $20 at this specially-made web portal. Nice deal, considering Microsoft upsells their hard drives at high prices for “security reasons.” Continue reading »
We can give you all the specifics of free wi-fi, but we’re a gaming site. And if you happen to pop onto our site, you expect to see… “Gaming News”. We’ll, I’ll do my best to keep this post as “gaming” as possible. The FCC is expected to finalize rules this year and could begin auctioning off airwaves in early-to-mid 2009. By many estimates the free service will be available to 50% of the US population in four years.
