Before your friday night slips away into whatever badass game you are playing, here is the latest trailer for Mass Effect 3. This trailer, titled “Special Forces”, is focusing purely on the multiplayer offering coming up for the first time in Mass Effect 3.
Just thought this would be something our readers would be interested in seeing if they’re one of the six or seven people who haven’t bought Skyrim yet, which has made headlines since its release on 11/11/11. Graphical and player count comparison after the jump along with a message from Bethesda regarding XBox users.
Last week I made a list of my top 10 Gamecube games to commemorate the 10th anniversary of that system’s launch (P.S. haters – I didn’t like Pikmin. Deal with it.) but the Gamecube wasn’t the only system to launch in November of 2001: the original Xbox is also about to turn ten. While the original Xbox was always a distant second to the PS2, it’s still a very important system for a number of reasons: it laid the groundwork for the eventual success of the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live, popularized traditionally PC-only genres such as FPS’s and Western RPG’s with console gamers, and arguably single-handedly legitimized and popularized Western game development and game design philosophy in the traditionally Japanese dominated console market.
Some users are banned permanently by the Microsoft. These banned users were claimed to have illegal access to downloadable content. Official forum of the Xbox is where this statement was posted.
According to Microsoft, in their recent investigation they have found users accessed Xbox Marketplace Live into the downloadable content illegally. According to their investigation, the access was very much intentional and not by mistake which is a clear violation of the terms assigned by that service. Microsoft didn’t reveal any information about the individuals regarding this in their announcement.
Homefront is a first person shooter which has obtained a lot of attention, possibly due to its completely refreshing setting, when compared to similar games, such as Battlefield or Call of duty. Homefront was developed by a fairly inexperienced developer; Kaos studio. Kaos studio has just one previous title to their name – Frontlines: Fuel of War – which was barely a noteworthy game by any standard, despite sharing.
The screen shots are now rolling in of Microsoft updating Xbox’s that opted-in for the new Dashboard preview and for the only screen shot we have seen so far it appears that not much has changed at all. The only notable addition is “Xbox Beta” channel, which contains three new titles: “Xbox Beta Program – Preview LIVE Update,” which inconveniently isn’t clickable yet, “New Features” and “Help and Tips.”
Almost as soon a Fallout: New Vegas hit store shelves, many respected game reviewers in the community commonly reported on two points that continue to service about the new wasteland adventure, its a great game, and unfortunately its filled with minor glitches.
Bethesda was quick to report that a patch is being put together ASAP, and should resolve many of the minor gameplay glitches.
Steven Spielberg is known for backing and producing some pretty large entertainment events over the past few generations and apparently Microsoft’s “Kinect” peripheral is being treated with same epic direction. Over 18 months ago Microsoft and Spielberg teamed up to prepare a launch plan that will end up costing over 500 million dollars on a mass marketing global level.
The Halo series gets a lot of flak; it’s hated on by contrarians because it’s popular and it’s trendy to hate anything that has any sort of sizable following, and it’s obviously hated by Sony and PC fanboys who simply blindly dismiss anything that isn’t on their platform of choice. Of course, some of that hate stems from the people that populate Halo’s online community, which seems like it’s made almost entirely of pre-pubescent internet tough guys and dudes who really love raised trucks. But all of these reasons to hate Halo are completely unfair, because regardless of what platform it’s on, or the audience it attracts, the fact is the games within the Halo series have consistently and undeniably been great, and out of all of them, the newest entry in the franchise, Halo Reach, is simply the best.
Halo: Reach fans who intended to play it on the new 4GB Slim Xbox 360 were disappointed to find out they were unable to play co-op.
As reported by several users, when trying to start co-op play with one of the players using a 4GB Slim Xbox 360, the players get an error message stating that “one or more players do not have the hard drive required for this game type.”
EA has done an excellent job on pitching their new concept for modern combat, the trailers along the way have given a variety of views into the life of a tier one operator. We have seen multiplayer, ground combat, helicopter action, and some great interviews.
Just Add Water has just added a second game to their Playstation 3 library of creations. Their first being the little known Gravity Crash which was released last December. Their most recent game, as you may have surmised from the title, is a port of the Original Xbox classic Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath. The original was developed by the fine folks at Oddworld Inhabitants and it was their last game before the studio became defunct, though they are currently working on a film entitled Citizen Siege. J.A.W. is working closely with OI to ensure that this port is a faithful HD re-mastering of the original.
