EMO Disaster Alerts to Be Tested on The Xbox 360

NYS' Emergency Management Office (EMO) has plans to test out emergency alerts on the Xbox 360. If they decide to go forward with this idea, alerts will be displayed on Xbox 360 consoles connected to the internet.

Seems like a good idea, gamers who occupy the TV and play for hours non stop will have no access to emergency service alerts. Hope the test program doesn't become annoying.

Valay5258d ago

Sounds like an odd idea to me.

Saaking5258d ago

It could work as long as it's doesn't interfere with gaming.

kaveti66165258d ago

Lol at the title, huh?

What kind of problems are these emo gamers gonna bring.

@kaveti6616

Lmfao, I didn't notice that until now. Emo suicide alerts now on your 360! Lol

EMO = Emergency Management Office

EDIT: I'll add something in at the bottom of the article so people don't go "WTF?".

Parapraxis5258d ago

Madusha, lol "Emo suicide alerts now on your 360"
You'd see them popping up every 5 mintes.

hopefully not in a red color HA!! P

Battlefield5258d ago

Lol @ disagrees.

This isn't a bad idea... users can know quickly of a disaster when their ring lights up red LOL!

KingKionic 5258d ago

It would be very weird to hear the amber alert during xbox live .

lol...might be funny for certain games .

LONEWOLF2315258d ago

Not a bad idea BUT as stated before, hopefully it wont be annoying.

Madusha5258d ago

Lolz imagine that, huge terrorist attack is in progress but unfortunately you aren't a Xbox Live Gold member.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil3d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing692d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle2d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II - PC Wore it Better

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.

dadavis19923d ago

Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.

Michiel19892d ago

there is a client made by modders and it also works online.

kevco332d ago

Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.

Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
