Little Big Planet Delayed Due To Qur’an Mentions
This has got to be any developers nightmare. You finally think you have wrapped up and are ready for what looks to be a great launch and then you get the influx of drama. So yeah, Murphy and his stupid law has reared his ugly head yet again. Apparently some lyrics in the games soundtrack make references to the Qu’ran. It looks like Little Big Planet will now be released some time in November...[Read More]
Call Of Duty : World At War Beta Impressions, Video
This video is no longer available. Okay, okay this video has audio issues but I wanted to get it up. I will be sure to post better footage very soon. I was lucky enough to get an Xbox 360 BETA key from a member of this site (thanks DJ Victory!) and had the chance to snag the beta. In the spirit of full disclosure I must say that I never did become a huge Call of Duty 4 fan. I bought the game for X...[Read More]
Confirmed: Yoda, Vader Unlockable In Soul Calibur 4
In a move that’s tad bit shy of douchery (made up word), Namco has just announced that Yoda will be unlockable in the PS3 version of Soul calibur 4 and Darth Vader will be unlockable in the Xbox 360 version of Soul Calibur 4. Douchery because Soul Calibur IV director Katsutoshi Sasaki previously stated that ‘they don’t have plans’ to release the extra characters as DLC. I a...[Read More]

It’s in Brooklyn so you know I am all signed up and will be there so expect some...[Read More]
Metal Gear Solid 4 On Xbox 360?
I would categorize this as a very strong possibility. Metal Gear Solid 4 requires hard drive installs which the Xbox 360 will be able to do with the launch of the new Xbox experience. Also we have this little recent Tokyo Game Show statement from Yoshitaka Arai, a Konami PR rep: The worldwide demand for an Xbox 360 version (of MGS4) is quite high, and it is something we are currently looking in to...[Read More]

Halo 3: Recon Facts
Halo 3: Recon will be a first person shooter that will be released in the Fall of 2009 as a standalone release. In other words it will be sold in stores in disc form like most other games though there are hints that it may be cheaper than most new releases for Xbox 360. I guess it is because the Halo 3: Recon multiplayer experience will be almost identical to the current Halo 3 multiplayer experie...[Read More]
