"A few weeks ago I posted a Developer Diary about the new Premium Themes coming to Xbox LIVE with the New Xbox Experience. Well, now that NXE is here, I wanted to share some of the Premium Themes available for download. There are a ton of great ones up, from the Fable II Albion Theme to Castle Crashers and more. Check out the list below for many of the Premium Themes that you can download today, and go browse Xbox LIVE Marketplace to see all of the great content we are offering and quickly add them to your download queue."
We've previously seen what we can take off the Prometheans, but what will Master Chief's backup be bringing to the fight in Halo 4?
Quite a lot of old favorites, as well as some new vehicles and an old enemy.
Spartan 1 program was somewhat Mech like..so bout time :P
Wow though, they look so much like Metal gears. Or gekkos
I know there were going to be mechs for a while, but seeing it actually shoot at that ship is so awesome.
360 Magazine: Call Of Duty Black Ops 2, the XBox 720, the end of the console as we know it and crucial future gaming developments.
You mean 'Activision Presents: Man With Gun 2012, Starring Denzel Washington'.
Also, the new Xbox will be called the Ybox. You heard it here first.
More like Activision presents: one long cut-scene in which 'press X for controversial torture' comes up intermittently.
This is about Mass Effect 3. I always liked the series for its technical side and the dialogue trees. I never really liked the setting, the story, or the characters.
Other than the snow level in Mass Effect 1 and Wrex there's no memorable things really. Mass Effect 3 is going to be out on maxed out consoles so no technical or graphical leap there. Count me out on this game.
This being said Mass Effect 1 is a top 10 game this generation.
if that were true the xbox 360 would be Y box and the next generation xbox would be Z box.
They probably think the world will end after that.
I mean, Lynx have made a 'end of the world'edition deodorant.
When we are here 2013 all and well, i'll be playing some GTA V.
They should go straight for inox or soon there will only b one console that's more powerful than any PC and it will b made by apple. It will incorporate everything apple and they will rule the world. So its better to simply release the Ibox and prevent future world domination.
As far as cod and black ops r concerned, it will sell 10 million copies on day 1, 8 million paid for by r government as unemployment will b 14%. There wont b a new console in 2012 because activision says so. They aren't done yet and until they r forced to use some ingenuity, expect the status quo. Why invest more $ right now if ppl will fork over their last penny to u for a rehash. So, as cod goes, so goes consoles and PC's as they will b held back.
Star wars will release and sell many copies just like battlefield did, but everyone will return to wow because activision obviously has the best games and the most talented warlocks casting spells on their products. Ppl wont know why but swtor just wont feel right. Everyone will say that its a better game and its fresh and many hardcore players will b converted but the masses will nitpick things like hotkeys and menu animations to declare wow as the enduring king of mmorpgs...and then the next expansion will release and swtor will go free to play.
On November 3rd we will wake to see if we get 4 more years of misery or a Republican (what a choice...no hope or maybe some actual hope with alot of immediate suffering). But to r surprise, we will c that Bobby kotick is president and EA is under federal investigation. And then 7 days later...the cod cycle begins again.
funny article
all i read was the first part where it says
1.January 2012
Industry analyst Michael Pachter says that another Call Of Duty game will be announced this year and that it will sell “lots of copies”. He also states with unsual specificity that an asteroid 100Km wide at its thickest point will veer from its predicted trajectory and on 12 December at 0043:29, it will smash into the South Pacific Ocean near Easter Island and cause the extinction of nearly all species on Earth, including 98% of the human population.
i was like what?
Personally I like Pachter's CoD predictions, its the only f*cking thing he seems to get right. :D
Um. I'm like "Doh!" Of course they'll make a new call of duty game next year. It's already codenamed Iron Wolf.
We already got Black ops 2, it's MW3.. oh wait no, sorry.
To be honest though, my pet parrot Baba could have predicted that.
Doesn't Black Ops take place during Vietnam? That isn't exactly what I would call modern warefare since it's 40 years old.
I don't believe the next Call of Duty game will be called "Black Ops 2." Treyarch has a habit of changing names with their games.
World At War and Black Ops are different names. Iron Wolf may be a code name, but I believe the next game in the series will be different.
World at War didn't sell like black ops did. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to capitalize on the "Black ops" name.
That's right, this IS the ninth CoD isn't it...
I wonder how long they can keep this up.
Actually Black Ops had more innovation than Mw3, altough i like Mw series gameplay, maps and guns better i have to admit when it comes to innnovation Treyarch is winning the fight over IW. The emblems customization, the weapons customization and alot more were awesome additions to Cod that IW didnt put in Mw3... I wonder why
Black Ops' campaign really wasn't that good. The original Modern Warfare is still the best, by far.
@petitpipi
No it doesn't MW3 story is a joke cod4 story is still by far the best MW story.
MW3's campaign doesn't kill anything, unless you bought the game for SP, then you probably killed yourself.
@ Isujester
I bought the game for SP, MP & Spec Ops. Why else would I buy the game? What a stupid comment on your part.
@ Vag
MW3's story is a joke? And you call yourself a gamer? lmao! PLEASE send me over your GT or PSN id. I need to see the games you've played.
I agree 100%. Though arn't you sick of buying a game with no new modes in at all (multiplayer wise) BLOPS had no new game modes in competitive multiplayer and mw3 only had 3 new ones!! But I agree with the innovation side and I enjoy the maps more in IW games but I do hate the maps in MW3! I do... i try and enjoy them but I can't. I liked the crisp, clean look of cod 4 and mw2 maps to the look and feel of mw3. I also loved every map in cod 5! But hated every map in BLOPS!
I am not really defending Blops of poo, I hate the game, but I am sure it had 1 or 2 new game modes.
You had the one were you start with a single weapon and every time you kill someone it would randomly change to something else.. or something like that.
I took blops back to the shop after about 4 weeks or so, so thats why I can hardly remember it but I know it had one or two new modes.
cod4:MW has been,currently is, and will probably always be my favorite cod game
even to this day i go on and play it every now and then.

Thanks for paying for all your previous themes. We know that they no longer look good, so here are some premium themes to pay for that look awesome! Sincerely M$
why do people acutally waste money on crap like this is beyond me... its bad enough I pay for live, than pay for junk like this I just dont get
Ummmm, doesn't Microsoft charge for basically everything? Other then the occasional free and lame mountain dew/movie themes what do they mean by premium? You have to pay more? This the company that charges you for 10x14 pictures for your gamer pics we're talking about here.
If you don't like them then don't buy them... The COD World at War theme is nice.... PS3 started the Premium Themes but MS just made it better once again.... The NXE is great.. People getting RROD Death from NXE are full of crap.. it's a software update.. RROD is Hardware failure
