Microwaved Xbox 360 Elite "Artwork" Selling for $31,000

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:16:26 GMT

It's interesting to see how "art" is interpreted by different people. To someone like myself, a microwaved video game console like an Xbox 360 is not something I'd be to happy about or call "art," but to another person, it's expensive "artwork." 50% of the $31,000 the console is selling for will be donated to the "CAIR-CA, The Council on American-Islamic Relations, California."

Modern Warfare 2 Leaderboards Will Have To Be Reset

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 07:52:50 GMT

Joystick Radio Writes: "Modern Warfare 2 is going to have to have a Leaderboard reset, plain and simple. With all the boosting, glitching, and exploiting, the current Modern Warfare 2 Leaderboards are not legitimate. I'm sure Infinity Ward doesn't want to reset the Leaderboards in fear of upsetting the community, but it has to be done."

Natal Will Dominate

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 05:37:37 GMT

Motion Control was bound to expand from Nintendo's grasp. Microsoft and Sony getting in on the action was inevitable, and will bring lots both of publicity. Successful or not, both creations will be remembered, and the battle between Microsoft and Sony will get that much more heated. If what has been shown lately about the motion controllers, we can only assume that Natal will dominate.

Top Ten Most Disappointing Games Of 2009 [TGH]

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 01:33:13 GMT

TGH writes:
"2009 is almost gone, and, looking back, there has been numerous key moments in the gaming industry: Capcom has managed to revive the fighting genre single handily with "Street Fighter 4." The Wii has been receiving titles that are actually marketed towards gamers with doubledigit ages. And Star Wars fans have been drooling at the many developer walkthrough videos for the upcoming Star Wars MMO by Bioware. To say the least, in term of gaming, things are looking good.

With that being said, this doesn't necessary the gaming industry did a perfect job this year. While sale records have been broken, there have been a few games released that received a ton of hype but failed to fufill their promises. The rules for this year's list remain the same as last year: Any game that I was personally hyped about and didn't meet my expectations..."

MW2 Multiplayer Is a Hot Mess

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 23:59:28 GMT

DualShockers writes:

Infinity Ward brought us Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which many gamers were calling a masterpiece and possibly the next best thing since sliced bread, but alas it seems the franchise has taken a sharp turn into a dark region, known as the crap zone. The multiplayer on each platform is plagued with issues from players having the ability to hit their 10th prestige without earning it on the PS3, to players having speed hacks on the PC version, to just an utter loss of control of matches on the Xbox 360.

Batman: Arkham has "run its course"

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 23:37:16 GMT

Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 could not be set in Arkham at all, if comments made by the game's senior gameplay programmer, Paul Denning should be taken seriously.

Speaking in a retrospective on the original game in PC Zone magazine, Denning said the Gotham prison had probably "run its course" and other areas in the city would be "ideal" for gameplay.

"I think you're probably right in that it's almost run its course," he replied, when asked if there were other areas of Gotham developer Rocksteady would like to explore.

"We did pick a selection of buildings that we thought would fit the [original] game well," he added. "You could quite easily point out that there are various things that you wouldn't usually find in an asylum especially on an island that's supposedly self-contained.

What We Already Know About Arkham Asylum 2

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 23:36:18 GMT

That was fast. Less than four months after the release of Batman: Arkham Asylum – aka, the greatest superhero game ever made – a sequel has been officially announced. Even more exciting?

Who are the villains? Where's the setting? What's the story? Clues to each of these questions are included in the video… you just need to know when to look.

New MW 2 glitch unlimited ammo and no reloading.

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 19:33:19 GMT

Ok so last night while randomly joining a team Deathmatch game we joined this server where there is unlimited ammo and no reloading for everyone. Were pretty sure this was a server error/glitch and not somebody doing it as we had a constant stream of new people. Below is a video clip of our experience as you can see it turns into a grenade launcher war for the most part. Also in the video is a shot of the AC130 which also has NO reloading and becomes an automatic death machine.
