How About A Quickie!
We don't have time for the long version. We want our game 411 right now, real fast. Here's the break down on whats coming out tomorrow and any other game facts we can come up with.
Get ready to scream like little girls. Bungie announces today “You haven’t seen the last of Master Chief.” Whether that means Master Chief is in Halo Reach or we have a Halo 4 in the works remains to be seen. When we know you will.
Tuesday July 27, 2010 is release day for StarCraft II. We've done the article, it's an awesome game, check out the trailer.
If you've been on your Xbox you've seen Limbo all over the place, odd but I feel a bit in Limbo here as well. What the heck is Limbo?
Limbo is a Puzzle game on the Xbox Arcade. It's a black and white nightmare where death is the only alternative. No instructions, no information, just the need to go to the right. Solve the puzzles and survive. Here's the down low.
You will never find yourself scraped up, battered, injured or wheezing. Instead, the little boy is impaled, shot, decapitated, crushed or drowned. Drowned very quickly, in fact. A puzzler, you traverse the environment in side-scrolling fashion, interacting with objects to avoid nasty, gruesome death. Most hazards are carefully hidden, in shadow or disguised within something useful. Timing is increasingly critical to solving the puzzles, which occasionally makes the floaty jumps frustrating. This is mitigated by the frequent auto-saves that keep you safely grounded at puzzle start.
It's 1200 microsoft points but we'll give you the trailer free.
A quickie bit of news for the PS3. Sony clarified the issue of content that you get with you new subscription. What you can keep when your subscription expires and what you lose. Lets read the fine print.
Sony's Jeff Rubenstein has clarified everything with the following statement on the official PlayStation blog: "Free add-ons expire if your subscription ends.
Add-ons you pay for (even if you pay at a discount) are yours to keep for good. The same thing is true for games- free ones expire if you don’t renew your subscription. Anything you pay for – even at a discount – is yours forever.Themes and avatars that are free, stay free for good.
There may be instances where a downloadable game is free and the add-on is priced at a discount. In this case, if your subscription ends, you would still have access to the DLC, but would need to re-purchase the game in order to use the add-on."
Now...that's clear as mud.
While we're on the PS3, Netflix for the PS3 just got an update.
Netflix streaming application for the PlayStation 3 just received a handy little update that enables searches for the entire Netflix library. Previously, the only way for console viewers to browse movies outside of the Netflix queue was by digging through specific genre categories and recommendation lists. As anyone who's used the service can attest, this wasn't exactly the most convenient way to find what you're looking for.
The update allows you to sift through the full Netflix catalog by letter or by typing out the title of a movie. Similar functionality should be headed to the Xbox 360 version of the Netflix app sometime in November.
That's all the quickie you get for now, if you want more I'll have to charge extra. 0o
