Why Xbox Live Isn’t Free
by vipeness on June 21st, 2008
Until recently, Microsoft could brag about how Live was by far the most feature-complete online service on any platform, with a unified Friends list, the best online shop, voice and video chat as standard and a consistent and stable online experience. But in recent months there’s been a shift in the market, and even bigger changes are coming…

Now this is a Zelda Tattoo!
by vipeness on June 20th, 2008
Tonight, my sister got a tattoo from the Zelda series from Nintendo. Pimp this huge LINK with tri-force tattoo below. It took about 3 hours to get done and you can tell the tattoo just got out of the burner so it’s a little bit raw. I need one now! The tattoo is about 1 1/2 feet in height and 1 /14 feet width. The detail on the tattoo is just amazing. Check out the image below.

Lego Indiana Jones bundle deals
by misty on June 2nd, 2008
With the much anticipated release of the Lego Indiana Jones video game many stores are also giving away additional items.
At Best Buy for a limited time, you can get a perfect complement to the Lego game by purchasing one of the blockbuster Indiana Jones movie on DVD for $4.99. Keep in mind you can only purchase 1 of the movies at the discounted prices but you do get a choice of which one. Available Tuesday June 3rd.
Circuit City is offering in limited quantities free unlockable Lego Belloq character and T-shirt with purchase. Unfortunately the code does not apply to DS version of the game. For Circuit City the game will not be available until after 2pm on Wednesday June 4th.
Target is giving away exclusive unlockable treasure magnet with the game and also with the purchase of Lego Indiana Jones you can save $5 on Lego Star Wars II or Complete Saga. The game is available Tuesday June 3 at 8am.
Before heading to the stores I recommend calling and confirming they actually have the game in stock. I know for quite awhile now games that are given a release date on Tuesday are now coming in on Wednesday which just gives you a headache when you go down and are told to come back another day. Also although the Lego series are more for timid gamers or for non-gamers I would not be surprised to see this game go quick I know I’m looking forward to it.
Reminder: Gamestop’s Game Days sale
by misty on June 2nd, 2008
Quick reminder today is the start of Gamestop’s Game Day sale many titles are being significantly reduced including accessories. The best part is you are looking at some, but not all, titles and accessories on sale for up to 50% off which makes the sale worth checking out you never know if something you want is included in the sale. Also check out Gamestop’s website for a list of games for all systems.
Rumor: Wii-like PS3 controller used in focus test
by misty on June 2nd, 2008
According to ps3fanboy.com Playstation Lifestyle is claiming that a Wii-like PS3 controller was the subject of a secret PSU focus test. An e-mail sent back in January invited a few members of Sony’s invite-only group to join them for a paid focus test in ****** ****, California. (We’re assuming it’s Foster City, home of SCEA.)
The PS3 controllers were motion-sensitive and required use of a "mini-tripod that stood about 12 inches high." Mini-games, such as fencing, paintball and tennis were supposedly demonstrated. The devices were said to be "incredibly responsive and accurate."
While Sony does regularly conduct paid focus tests throughout the country, there simply isn’t enough tangible evidence to verify the authenticity of this rumor. If true, we wonder if PS3 fans really want more motion control in their lives … or does the SIXAXIS suffice?
XBLA Wednesdays: Aces of the Galaxy and Roogoo
by misty on June 2nd, 2008
According to teamxbox.com Microsoft announced today that this week’s Xbox Live arcade releases will be Aces of the Galaxy and Roogoo, which will be available this Wednesday, June 4, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. GMT (1:00 a.m. PDT) for 800 Microsoft Points each.
3-2-1 blast off! Launch yourself into the intense space-shooter Aces of the Galaxy™, a non-stop, old-school arcade thrill-ride for the twenty-first century and beyond. Utilize an impressive arsenal of upgradeable weapons including high powered missile launchers, devastating torpedoes, and the ever-reliant chain gun to annihilate the ships of the wretched Skurgian Empire. Save planet Earth cooperatively at home with a friend or join up on Xbox LIVE®.
Roogoo updates the square peg in a round hole premise to a whole new level. Help the Roogoo defeat their enemies, the evil Meemoo, in Roogoo, a new and innovative action-based puzzler. Players line up multiple platforms on different levels to allow shaped blocks to pass through and once enough of them stack up, that particular shape closes off. A simple premise becomes more complicated as Meemoos begin to obstruct players’ paths, and butterflies attempt to steal blocks away. Players must swivel, roll, and boost their way through 45 puzzle-filled levels alone or with up to four friends in cooperative party mode play. For those with a more competitive spirit, Roogoo offers a two-player multiplayer mode over Xbox LIVE® where players battle to solve the same puzzle and can build up attacks to thwart their competitors’ efforts.
Age Of Conan Girls Get Accidental Boob Job
by misty on June 2nd, 2008
From kotaku.com as a result of the latest patch for Age Of Conan the female characters bust area have been altered. AOC forum user Gust even went as far as to provide photo evidence, seen above. No need to worry though folks, as Funcom promises things will soon be back to abnormal.
Funcom can confirm that some of the female models in the game have had the size of their breasts changed. This is due to an unintended change in data that was introduced in an earlier patch, data which controls the so-called morph values associated with character models and the size of their respective body parts. We are working on a fix for this and your breasts should be back to normal soon.
