| X-Play: Xbox Live Orientation | | 2008-04-26 19:17:14 | | Xbox Live gets us mad. We don't mean because of the dips in service that happen from time to time, we don't mean some of the exorbitantly priced content; we mean the people. We love people, but on Xbox Live social normality is thrown out the window as some gamers just need to turn on that hate.We always thought it was because some people (not all, but you've met these people too) are just straight up jerkfaces (see also, Asshats) but apparently some gamers were just introduced to Live via this orientation video.X-Play created a (sometimes) funny video that's meant to shine light on the personalities of Xbox Live and how the hate came to be. Video's embedded after the jump due to some NSFW language and crude humor, but remember the whole thing is a gag and is meant to have you shake your head in both understanding and disgust because it's pretty accurate. Unfortunately.[via THEBBPS]Continue reading X-Play: Xbox Live Orientation

| | Operation Darkness demo hits Xbox Live | | 2008-04-25 13:01:21 | | Upon first glance (and your second through seventh glances, admittedly) Operation Darkness seems like a game created by insane people.It's a squad based tactical game where you're fighting the "hidden battles of WWII," but the reason they were hidden is apparently because they were waged against skeletons. And and some point, one of those skeletons gets punched by a wolf man in a trench coat. See? Crazy.We tell you all this, not as a lead-in to dispel your presumptions about the game's insanity, but to see if you'd play the new demo on Xbox Live for us and let us know how it is. Because frankly, we're a little freaked out.

| | Xbox Live (sort of) makes a baby | | 2008-03-18 11:43:00 | | Much to its chagrin, the Xbox 360 is not literally capable of giving birth to human lives. What it can do, however, is bring two humans together over multiplayer (Rainbow Six Lockdown, if you're curious) and help them to make a love connection and produce the adorable baby you see in the pic to the right.Just to cover all out legal bases here we should mention that as cute Victoria Marie Figueroa looks here, you probably shouldn't put your own baby on to an activated 360. We do think though that parents Stacy and Mike have set a new bar for doing the towel trick completely wrong.[Via JS]PS: Perhaps to JS this is the first time this has happened, but to me this has happened quite a few times in mainly all consoles. | | By: X-Intelligence Krew | | |
| | Capcom's Xbox Live Games Exceed Size Limits - SendMeRSS | | 2008-03-14 01:49:55 | | Capcom's Xbox Live Games Exceed Size Limits Looks like those widely publicized Xbox Live Arcade file size limitations aren't set in stone after all. Two of Capcom's upcoming digitally distributed titles will be larger than Xbox Live Arcade's current size limit of 150 megabytes, said Capcom senior director of communications Chris Kramer at the publisher's office this week. During a presentation at Capcom's recent "Digital Day" media event, Kramer told the crowd that the company's upcoming games Bionic Commando: Rearmed and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will be larger downloads, to accommodate the high-res textures of the former and the 1080p display option for the latter. Kramer characterized this as Microsoft making a "very special exception" for Capcom.Ben Judd, producer of Bionic Commando, told 1up.com in an interview at the Game Developers Conference that the Xbox 360 version of the game would not look as good as the PlayStation 3 version because of the siz | | By: Online Games | | |

| | Elements of Destruction unveiled for Xbox Live Arcade - SendMeRSS | | 2008-03-03 06:24:45 | | Elements of Destruction unveiled for Xbox Live ArcadeIn the Xbox Live Arcade game Elements of Destruction you play as Dr. Edgar Herbert. Dr. Edgar Herbert was dropped in the Atlantic and left for dead, but after washing ashore near a nuclear test facility, the only thing on his mind is revenge. Now that he has the ability to transform himself into energy he can do just that. Wield the destructive power of nature as you unleash tornadoes, earthquakes and lightning storms in rural, suburban, and urban environments. If the game’s name sounds familiar, it’s because THQ released a 2D version of Elements of Destruction on DS back in January.

| | User-Created Zune and Xbox Live Arcade Games | | 2008-02-22 00:28:52 | | Earlier this week during their keynote at GDC, Microsoft announced many things. One of which has caught my attention. Microsoft announced that you will soon be able to create, and play games made by users like you and me (though, most likely from third-party companies) through Xbox Live and your 2nd generation Zune. To create the games, you simple pay for Microsoft's XNA game developing software, which is open for anyone to use. I believe this is a good step forward for Microsoft, having user-created content being dispersed really adds more to the functionality of Xbox Live. The XNA software will be able to create games for PC, Xbox 360 and Zune, and the games will be playable on all three. Meaning you won't have to make a different version of the same game for the Zune and PC, or Xbox Arcade; they will be interchangeable. One cool feature is the ability to play the games with other players online, on all three platforms as well. Suddenly a Zune with online games doesn't sound so bad.. | | By: Stuff Blog | | |

| | GoldenEye For Xbox Live Confirmed, Delayed Indefinitely - SendMeRSS | | 2008-01-14 10:22:57 | | GoldenEye For Xbox Live Confirmed, Delayed Indefinitely After a lot of rumors lately about GoldenEye Nintendo 64 port to Xbox Live, it has finally been confirmed that the game is indeed in development. The bad news is, as rumors suggested, that Microsoft and Nintendo are having difficulties reaching an agreement on licensing issues, and therefore the game is delayed indefinitely, until an agreement is reached.A simple solution would be to let Microsoft get the game on Xbox Live, and Nintendo on the Virtual Console. But big companies have a tendency to complicate everything.

| | Stalker debuts on Xbox Live, goes game over and gets arrested - SendMeRSS | | 2008-01-03 14:10:40 | | Stalker debuts on Xbox Live, goes game over and gets arrested While Xbox Live is obviously meant to game, chat and make friends, it’s rare you get such a good warning to be careful who you talk to. In Spokane, Washington, a 20-year-old American man was arrested on felony stalking charges after chatting to a 15-year-old girl on Xbox Live and eventually threatening to rape the girl and her sister. Joshua Stetar of Saratoga Springs, New York met the girl by playing Halo and chatting with her online since 2006. Gamerush reports he sent packages and flowers to her home, all of which her parents returned. He also began text messaging her several hundred times on her cell phone, forcing the girl's mother to change her daughter's number. Let’s not go into the freaky details how he found out where she lives, but after the crazy nut drove for 40 hours straight to get from New York to Spokane, then at around 9PM Friday last week Stetar sent a text message saying that he was driving | | By: Online Games | | |

| | | Descarga la demo de Clive Barker's Jericho en Xbox Live | | 2007-09-27 22:50:44 | | Prepárate para hacer frente al mal antes de destrozarle la cara, con el lanzamiento de la demo jugable de Clive Barker’s Jericho por Codemasters. La demo está disponible ahora desde Xbox LIVE Marketplace, el sistema de videojuegos y de entretenimiento de Microsoft, Xbox 360 y la versión de demo para Games for Windows está disponible de forma exclusiva en Codemasters.Clive Barker’s Jericho desplega a los jugadores en Al-Khali, una ciudad de Oriente Medio. Con el control del pelotón de Jericho -un equipo experto tanto en la Guerra convencional como en la paranormal- en sus manos, los jugadores tendrán que emprender un viaje agotador, luchando en distintos períodos de la historia de la ciudad, para desentrañar la leyenda del Primogénito, el primer y abortado intento de Dios para crear al hombre y fuente última del mal.La demo, que lleva a los jugadores directamente al centro de este FPS de terror único, se ambienta en la Al-Khali del período de las Cruzadas. Un ataque salvaje a dejado al pelotón divido con mitad dhase los hombres presuntamente muertos. Al empezar la demo, los jugadores se juntan con la Sargento Billie Church, la Lieutenant Abigail Black y el Sargeanto Frank Delgado en las alcantarillas ensangrentadas y en las catacumbas de la fortaleza. Desarrollado por Mercury Steam Entertainment, Clive Barker’s Jericho desatará el ataque sobrenatural a partir del 26 de octubre de 2007 (territorios PAL) para PLAYSTATION 3, Xbox 360 y Games for Windows.La Historia El argumento de Jericho nos traslada a una ciudad de Oriente Medio, Al-Khali, erigida sobre las antiguas ruinas de otras ciudades. Bajo las ruinas, se encuentra el suelo más impío que ha poblado jamás la faz de la tierra. Un equipo del Departamento de Guerra Paranormal (una agencia estadounidense encargada de investigar la actividad sobrenatural) es enviado a investigar el fenómeno. Al llegar al lugar informan de que una gran tormenta de arena ha engullido la ciudad y acto seguido, se pierde el contacto con ellos. Es entonces cuando se envía al escuadrón Jericho para que investigue lo ocurrido. El equipo descubre que los antiguos miembros de la hermandad se han convertido en horribles criaturas. Tras una refriega, se abre una brecha dimensional que los trasladará a otra época. Concluida la introducción, es el momento de ponerse al mando del escuadrón y comenzar a desvelar, poco a poco, que misteriosa fuerza ha arrasado la ciudad. A medida que progresemos en el juego, iremos avanzando en la historia y visitando épocas temporales tan dispares como la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Las Cruzadas, La Época Romana o La Torre de Babel... El Equipo Jericho El Equipo Jericho está compuesto por siete miembros, cada uno de los cuales cuenta con habilidades diferentes pero complementarias.Devin Ross, el capitán del escuadrón. A través de un intenso adiestramiento, ha aprendido a dominar el arte de la curación. Puede sanar las heridas de los miembros del equipo caídos mientras tenga contacto visual con ellos. Sus armas son un rifle de asalto y una escopeta semiautomática, para enfrentamientos a corta distancia. Ross muere en combate, pero seguirá presente gracias a su habilidad de poseer al resto de miembros del grupo. De esta forma se justifica una característica que emplearemos a lo largo del juego: la posibilidad de saltar de un miembro del equipo a otro, controlando al que consideremos adecuado en cada momento mientras damos órdenes al resto. La teniente Abigail Black. Es una “sniper” en toda regla con una puntería perfecta… demasiado perfecta. Y es que Abigail tiene habilidades telequinéticas, que le permiten controlar la trayectoria de las balas que dispara “poseyéndolas” por un momento.El sargento Frank Delgado. Frank es el “tanque” del equipo. Además de llevar el armamento más poderoso, compuesto por una ametralladora de 3 cañones de 7,62 mm y una pistola automática de calibre 50, Frank tiene el poder de la piromancia. En su brazo derecho habita Ababanili, un espíritu de fuego que puede liberar momentáneamente para incendiar a sus enemigos.La sargento Wilhelmina Church. Es una “maga de sangre”, capaz de realizar poderosos hechizos con su propia sangre, como una especie de esfera que paraliza a los enemigos circundantes. Asimismo, Abigail es el único miembro “silencioso” del equipo, capaz de moverse sin hacer ruido y acercarse a los enemigos por la espalda para rematarlos con la espada japonesa nodachi que porta a la espalda (o bien con su pistola Kenjuu de 4,6 mm).El capitán Xavier Jones. Es un vidente, puede captar breves retazos de acontecimientos pasados o futuros o la posición de enemigos o fenómenos paranormales. Jones no es un hombre de acción, pero aun así porta un rifle de asalto Patrioteer de 5,56 mm y una escopeta ligera de apoyo del calibre 12.La cabo Simone Cole. Es la “hacker” del grupo. Gracias a su ordenador es capaz de detectar puntos débiles de los enemigos, lo que resulta de gran ayuda para el resto del equipo.El padre Paul Rawlings. Este sacerdote de 67 años sabe como tratar con toda clase de espíritus malévolos. Utiliza un par de pistolas automáticas a las que llama “Fe” y “Destino”. Si el jugador es lo bastante habilidoso, es posible obtener una ráfaga de fuego sin tregua, ya que es posible recargar una pistola con una mano mientras la otra sigue disparando.El juegoJericho es un shooter en toda regla. Lo que lo hace diferente es el hecho de que en este juego realmente estamos manejando a un escuadrón de seis personas, a las que podemos dar diversas órdenes o, directamente, alternar entre un personaje y otro para meternos en la piel del que más convenga según la situación.De este modo, para finalizar cada nivel será necesario emplear al personaje adecuado en cada momento (un poco al estilo The Lost Vikings, salvando las distancias). Eso sí, en el momento de repartir “plomo” entre los enemigos, cualquier miembro del equipo está lo suficientemente capacitado para defenderse. Y si el enemigo se acerca demasiado, un buen golpe con la culata nos ahorrará muchos problemas, ya que el juego cuenta con un importante componente de "melee", esto es, de combate “cuerpo a cuerpo” con los enemigos. Esto queda remarcado por un elemento empleado profusamente durante el juego: el de las “cinemáticas interactivas”. En algunos momentos de la partida, como, por ejemplo, cuando un enemigo agarre al personaje al que manejamos, deberemos pulsar una serie de botones en el momento adecuado en que se nos indique en la pantalla, para librarnos del peligro. Esta característica contribuye a aumentar la ya de por sí elevada tensión emocional presente durante el desarrollo de la partida. La ambientación, oscura y misteriosa, se suma a un gran diseño de escenarios y dirección artística, con oscuras catacumbas y juegos de luces, con un aspecto gráfico sobresaliente.Y es que el desarrollo de Jericho, cuya trama ha sido supervisada por el aclamado escritor Clive Barker, no es su único punto fuerte. Nos encontramos ante un juego totalmente a la altura de la nueva generación en lo que al aspecto visual se refiere, y que no desmerece en absoluto a sus competidores más directos como, por ejemplo, Gears of War, a pesar de haber sido programado por un equipo español.Fuente: Vida Extra Games Juegos Clive Baker Jericho demo Xbox Live Codemasters FPS Videogames download Juegos Clive Baker Jericho demo descargar Xbox Shooter Videojuegos

| | Bioshock Demo Sets A New Xbox Live Record | | 2007-09-13 00:02:28 | | Today 2K Games has announced that their hit title BioShock, or rather its demo, has made a new record as the Xbox Live demo which has reached one million downloads the fastest.2K president, Christoph Hartmann was pleased with the new record, and feels it fits with the rest of the reception BioShock has received. “We are really pleased that Microsoft’s Xbox LIVE Marketplace has managed to attract a record number of gamers to its site to download and check out BioShock. The overwhelmingly positive response is not only reflected in the traffic to Xbox LIVE, but the record breaking score reported by Metacritic. We’re excited about the reception the fans have given BioShock and are honored that the game has been recognized as ‘Game of the Year’ material.” Considering the massive approval BioShock has received from public and press alike this new record doesn’t come as much of a surprise. It will be interesting to see how long the record goes unchallenged.Source: Digital Battl | | By: Online Games | | |

| | Pacman Para Xbox Live | | 2007-06-07 16:55:54 | |
Se você é virgem, tudo bem. Se não gosta de comer arroz e batata frita, tudo bem. Se você nunca visitou um site pornô, até aceito. Mas se você NUNCA jogou Pacman em toda a sua vida, simplesmente você não existe.
O Erivelton disse que não existe brasileiro que não goste de futebol. EU não gosto. Mas um ser humano, e até extraterrestre que não tenha jogado Pacman, é simplesmente uma aberração, algum tipo de doença mais grave que a AIDS.
E como tudo que é antigo é bom (tem excessões), ontem, dia 06 de Junho, fora lançada a última versão desse jogo que só não perde para Paciência e Space Invaders, para o serviço on-line do console da Microsoft Xbox Live.
