Nothing that 360 owners wouldn’t have seen before but it does help build the anticipation. It really is a game that everybody has to play at least once. Now, would you kindly watch the trailer. (See what I did there) source: Kotaku Last Updated: September 9, 2008

GamerChip.com has put together a list of the games that they think will be hits this christmas as well as all the games that will fail miserably alongside the hotly anticipated titles coming out at the end of this year. While a decent portion of this list seems spot on I have to say that I disagree with a whole bunch of titles on their list.... So here is the list that they have put up I have highlighted the titles that I think are a little out of place or just plain strange. HITS: Viva Piñata: Trouble In Paradise Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway LittleBigPlanet Fracture Fallout 3 Fable 2 Dead Space Guitar Hero: World Tour Mortal Kombat vs DC Resistance 2 Gears Of War 2 Warhammer Online Left 4 Dead FAILURES: Spore Too Human S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Clear Sky Mercenaries 2 Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Crysis Warhead Silent Hill Saints Row 2 Bioshock (PS3) Rock Band (Aus release) Mirrors Edge Red Faction: Guerrilla Firstly, I find it quite strange that the creator of this list has decided to use him amazing powers of foresight to predict that games such as Too Human and Mercenaries 2 are not going to be hits after their low review scores have already come out. In fact the games are already out so I wouldn't even have them in the list, unless he expects some of these games to sell well into the holidays. In the hits list I don't fully agree with some of those titles. While Brothers in Arms is looking very decent, I still think that it is going to have a tough time getting its name in front of the new Call of Duty title (strangely not even in the list). Mortal Kombat vs DC is the type of game that we all want to root for, but deep down we know that the possibility of it being a good game and a great success is not very likely.... Even though there are many Warhammer fans out there and even though the game could be looking good, I still don't see any MMO being able to dethrone the King of the MMO genre, World of Warcraft. As far as the fail list is concerned I don't think I could ever agree with titles like Bioshock for PS3 being there. Bioshock was an amazing game and a fantastic experience and I think that any PS3 owner would be more the right to feel a good amount of anticipation for their own version of this creepy, yet incredibly engrossing experience. While Crysis was very popular it did suffer very badly from Piracy, the only reason this game would fail was if all of that nonsense had to happen again. Hopefully this time around the fans will realise that they are damaging the developer and will go out and actually buy it.... Sure its a bit different and a little strange and if you have to choose between it, Gears of War 2, LittleBigPlanet or the new Resistance then I could see it having some issues. I do however think that its new take on the first person genre is something quite fresh and different in an industry heavily flooded with mindless shooters.

It was just the other day that I was saying how good the Max Payne movie was looking. Now the producer of the Max Payne movie, Scott Faye, has said that he is working on a Duke Nukem movie with Scott Miller, CEO of 3D Realms. I guess if anybody was going to make it, Scott Faye would be the …

  I’ll willing to bet that anybody who reads this will either have experienced an Xbox issue or will know somebody who has. Be it a drive failure or red rings, most people will at one stage have had to exchange their 360’s. I am on my 5th Xbox so dealing with MI Digital has become almost second nature to …

By Philip Dunkley Oh how I love having new games to play, it’s been too long a drought, and all of a sudden, games are rolling through the door left right and centre, and it’s fantastic to be back. EA are having there busiest time of the year at the moment, with a plethora of titles being launched, especially on …

Shock, Shock, Horror, Horror, we have a story to prove that shows that Microsoft apparently knew about the defects in the Xbox 360 before its launch. While it may come as a surprise to many, it doesn't sound too crazy to think that MS would do something like this. According to reports on 1UP a report from VentureBeat's Dean Takahashi, who is the author of books such as Opening the Xbox and The Xbox 360 Uncloaked , has said that Microsoft knew about the issues the Xbox 360 was having before launch but refused to delay the release further in order to beat their competitors to the market. It looks as if the major issue came from Microsoft not only rushing the design process to get the console out first but also from the fact that once the major design was locked down, they continued to try and cram in a ton of last minute ideas, essentially making the console more and more fragile. President of Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices division, Robbie Bach thinks that being first out the door was still a good idea in the long run, saying that: "If you take the question of whether it was the right thing to try to be first, the answer to that is definitely yes," "It has given us a leg up in a number of places that are super important. It has given us a leg up with game developers. It has given us a leg up from an economics perspective. It helped us expand Xbox Live quickly. At a strategy level, if you asked if we wanted to be first again, I would say yes. It's easy for me to go back and say, if I knew what would transpire over the next two years, would I go back and do something different, I think that's an obvious answer. But the fact is, based on the data we had at the time and all the hard work we put into it, there was no way to see what actually happened." As you all know it has cost Microsoft over a billion US dollars to extend warranties for the RROD issues that many have experienced with their consoles, so Mr. Bach must really think that it was well worth it to have their console out first. Although he does admit that they would have done things differently had they known all that they know now. Good for you, Microsoft. I am glad that your business is doing well but what about all the people that have experienced tons of issues and inconveniences due to your wonderful decision.

Let me start off by saying that I fully support adult games, there should be a rating ‘R’ for games that include explicit sex and I am in no way offended by nudity… especially female nudity.. However that being said I do wonder if the latest Wii game, Captain Rainbow, is just taking things a little too far in regards …

I don't know what's up with all these developer diaries but I am glad to see more about Dead Space. This game has definitely had a boost by the fact that Resident Evil 5 has been confirmed to only be a 2009 release and also that Silent Hill: Home Coming is receiving little to no attention at all. I have had my fill of scary games lately but this is unfortunately looking really good so I might have to go and buy some more diapers. The zero gravity elements look like they can make or break this game, so they had better get it right. Dead Space will be available on October 27 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
