Win a Hummer!
Posted by Kiki Lewis in Contests, I thought this was cool, PAX, Xbox on August 23rd, 2010
Well, okay, maybe not a full size one.. and definitely not one of the type you nasty minded peeps were thinking of, but something just as cool!
Built by Chris “Omega” Ruble from Gamer-Grafix.com, the Xbox 360 has been modified to resemble a modern day military humvee, and was inspired by Fun For Our Troops.
The Xbox 360, enclosed within the Hummer’s shell, is entirely functional and features its own built in monitor, as well as a 250 GB Hard Drive. Chris has fused his passion for supporting the troops with his love of art and video gaming to shape one of his most impressive pieces of work to date.
Halo: Reach Multimeda Madness!
Posted by Bogeh in Conventions, News, Xbox on July 22nd, 2010
Halo fans, rejoice with me in celebrating all the awesomeness that Bungie released today!
First off, take a look at the unboxing of both the Limited Edition and Legendary Edition of Halo: Reach…followed by the unveiling of a Reach themed Xbox 360! Available September 14th for $399, the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Reach Bundle includes:
- All features of the New Xbox 360 (250 GB HDD, built-in Wi-fi, etc.)
- Limited Edition Reach themed wireless controllers
- Standard Edition of Halo: Reach
If you want to check out some hi-res images of the Reach console, head over to Major Nelsons’s flickr account and check them out. Hawtness, for sure!
Now, me introduce to you Forge World. Remember when Bungie revealed Blood Gulch and “outside the canyon”? Well, you probably weren’t expecting to go this far out of the canyon. Forge 2.0 is without a doubt, the most badass feature that any developer has come up with for the 360.
And lastly, thirty-eight new screenshots of Firefight Versus and Forge World are hot off the press for you drool over. Take a look!

LIMBO- First Impressions
Yesterday, the first game of the Xbox LIVE Summer of Arcade was released. You can purchase this game for 1200 Microsoft points ($15). I’m about 30% through and here are my thoughts.
After reading about this game on Xbox.com, I bought this thinking it would be some cute platformer where you ran around trying to find your sister. Man was i wrong! When I started the game, under the logo it said you can turn the gore filter on in the setting menu. When read that I was confused, I mean gore? In a game where the point is to rescue you sister?
When the game started all I saw was black and gray, and a dark figure with white eyes rise off the ground. There were no directions, nothing. All I knew was the only way was forward. I continued through the game, swinging on ropes. Then as I was running all of a sudden a trap snapped shut squashing my player. All I could do was watch the life drain from the kid as his eyes slowly shut.
I continued on, figuring out challenging puzzles while moving along. Then after slowly making it out alive after a spider tryed to stab me to death I saw and older man, just sitting there. I walked over hoping I would finally find another human to talk to or something. as I got closer the floor drop out from under him, and he was hung by his neck. On the corner of the screen I saw some guy running away, so I tried to catch him. Then after he tried killing me multiple times with traps, it became clear he didn’t want me to make it out alive.
Gears 2 XP Event – You’re Needed!
If you were like Pogre or Scratch when 8x XP hit Gears of War 2 last week, you barely let your hands off your controller as you were frantically playing to get achievements. Well, now it’s up to you to help with how much XP you’ll be earning for the next event. Rob Fergusson, the Executive Producer of the Gears of War franchise and man in charge of XP, is bribing you on Twitter. Fergusson, @GearsViking, states:
Ok, here’s my bribe. The SDCC XP event will be # of my followers divided by 500. So 4000 followers means 8x XP.

Ancients of Ooga New Release Date
Posted by Scratch in Arcade Feed, News, Xbox on June 9th, 2010
Our friends at NinjaBee have just announced that their spiritual successor to Cloning Clyde will be released on June 30th. The game was originally set to be released during the week of E3 on June 15th. I think the slight delay may be partially due to the buzz surrounding E3. It’s not a huge delay so relax, enjoy E3 and before you know it you’ll be saving the Ooganis and kicking Boolis ass.
If you read this and wonder what the hell I’m talking about then check this out.
Basically if you’re a fan of the newly appointed Xbox Arcade Hit Cloning Clyde then you’ll want to be sure to give this a look. It has nothing to do with Cloning Clyde in terms of story but it offers the quirky comedic action and unique gameplay that made Cloning Clyde the popular game it is.
In this game you’ll be helping other Oogani tribes uncover lost powers and tribal leaders in a mystical world in order to lead a revolt a ruler who is less than democratic. It’s up to you to lead the way and apparently eat a lot of things while you’re at it. The best news is that this will only cost 800 MSP. Change the date, keep the price…..that’s cool with me.
You can check out all the hype by following Ninjabee on twitter and Facebook. You can also dress your Avatar in some pretty cool NinjaBee stuff. Everything else can be found on the official NinjaBee website.

The Force Unleashed II Collectors Edition Contents
Did you enjoy being a complete badass with the Force in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed? If you played this game anything near to how I played it, you used ever power to the most destructive way imaginable. The whole “with great power, comes great responsibility” ideology was thrown out the window once I had the chance to be a Sith/Jedi.
Well, this fall The Force Unleashed II will be released and the Collectors Edition has some pretty sweet goods coming with it. The steelbook that comes with this edition looks mighty sexy. Click the linked image to the left to read more about what you’ll receive if you pick up the Collectors Edition.
