Messenger Kit Hands-On

This year's Xbox 360 Spring Dashboard Update brought MSN Messenger contact-list integration to Xbox Live, but many of us have been waiting for Microsoft to release the chatpad accessory before making full use of the service. Microsoft knows that messaging isn't going to be widely used on the Xbox 360 unless the system has an input device to make texting easier for those of us who don't keep USB keyboards on the coffee table.

I cant wait for this... sick of using my USB keyboard... Going to be great for quick notes in games

this sucks, their has got to be a better way to type because right now it takes me like 4 days (ok not 4 days for real but it's long) to type a response to someone.

This looks like it will be heaven sent. For when you need to just type something real quick.

FeralPhoenix6123d ago

but I love gadgets and this one is pretty nice fit with the 360 controller, I think I just might pick this up.

PS3 already have a MadCatz typing peripheral to attach to the controller, and it sucks. It take a USB port to run and fit in the upper part of the controller, so you cant type with your thumbs... Just hope that MS peripheral is more useful. At least it already fit much better to the controller.

PS2 already have something in the like of MadCatz and MS peripheral, but from Nyko, and the keyboard come with ("glued") the controller. It's in the MadCatz way, in the upper part, and it's equal somewhat unaccessible.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos5h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis21h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.
