Microsoft revealed earlier this week that qualifying Core and Arcade owners can receive either a free Xbox 360 Memory Unit or Xbox 360 Hard Drive. Unfortunately this seems to only apply to Xbox 360 owners in the US and Europe. But fear not. Craig N, our very own Microsft MVP has just posted on his blog that Microsoft Xbox South …
The Castle Crashers patch is finally on its way, I’ve held off playing the game too much because of the bugs and the fact that I can’t play with my friends. But there is hope. According to a recent post on developer The Behemoth’s blog, they’re hard at work putting the finishing touches on the game’s first title update. Last …
Ah, the Nissan Skyline R34. Either you love it, or you really love it. This video shows the Skyline doing its thing in the streets of Los Angeles and while we all know that Midnight Club: Los Angeles is using the same marvelous engine that was used for GTA IV, I still can't say that I am truly sold on the visuals in this game. Will the visuals hold up compared to other racing titles out there? Who knows? What I do know is that if the game is really fun to play and a blast with friends, then who the hell cares.

Legendary has been bubbling around under the radar for a couple of months now and every now and then it pops up and teases us… I don’t know much about the game to be honest but after reading a few press releases it all sounded pretty interesting and it was firmly wedged into the ‘Beady Eye’ folder..

Taking a look at the Metacritic scores for the two big survival horror releases this quarter, it is undoubtedly obvious that the Silent Hill franchise is in a spot of trouble. While hardcore fans of the series still linger on the good old days of Silent Hill 2, they are now left with very little to quench their thirst for another Silent Hill title that could match its quality. Enter Dead Space. While I have personally only seen small amounts of footage from this game and pretty much know very little about its story and gameplay mechanics, it is fantastic to see that there is a new cowboy in town that is willing to take on the the big boys at their own game. A quick glance at the scores on Metacritic reveal that Dead Space has raked in a current average of 88/100, while the new Silent Hill title, Homecoming , has only mustered up a measly, yet relatively decent 73/100. Has the Silent Hill franchise seen its glory days come and go already? With strong titles like Dead Space joining the fray and the remarkable looking Resident Evil 5 coming next year, one must wonder if Silent Hill will ever be able to pull itself back out of the deep hole that it has been digging for quite some time now. Could Homecoming be the last Silent Hill title that we will ever see?
