Hidden Missing COD4 training sequence

By Gavin Mannion

I always thought the run from killing the watermelons to the obstacle course in COD4 was a little long and pointless, well I have found out why. The game shipped without two extra training sequences that filled this gap. The above video was taken by a PC gamer who apparently found it somehow. No I don’t think we really missed …

So for the last week we have been running a competition where the only way to enter was by leaving a comment. Thankfully this coincided with a story going big and therefore leaving me with the unenviable task of shifting through a pile of comments from people outside of the DLC… But I have to say I was impressed with …

Castle Crashers Online Fix Coming Soon

Great news for Castle Crashers fans. Behemoth have posted an update on their sites blog saying the following: "We just got off the phone with Microsoft and we had a great talk about updating Castle Crashers, YES!! Looks like we’re on our way to getting this title update out and the bigger issues like saving and online connectivity resolved, in addition to other bugs that have been reported." They suggest that anyone currently experiencing issues should try and host games instead of join them, although that didn't work for me when I tried it out. So when can we expect the update? "We just got off the phone with Microsoft and we had a great talk about updating Castle Crashers, YES!! Looks like we’re on our way to getting this title update out and the bigger issues like saving and online connectivity resolved, in addition to other bugs that have been reported." Well even though we don't know when it will be available it looks like it will be ready fairly soon and then we call all finally enjoy a 4 player online experience.

‘Max Payne’ Theatrical Trailer @ Yahoo! Video Everybody knows the saying, “movie/game adaptations are always bad”, and for the most part they are. However watching this third trailer brings a smile to my face, almost every line brought with it a nostalgic feeling. It was a promising movie from the moment they got a recognised actor to play Max Payne …

Xbox 360 Is All For Smoking

XboxSmoke.jpg This isn't the first time I have reported about something like this. You may remember that I posted an article about an Xbox 360 setting fire to a house in the United States back in April of this year. Well, this isn't quite as bad but it still leaves Xbox 360 users something to think about. The Cochrane Times in the UK report that an Xbox has caused a family to evacuate their house after not being able to locate the source of a burning plastic smell. After choosing to evacuate his wife and children, homeowner Cliff Chudleigh called the fire department to come and do their thing. It seems that the source of the smoke was an Xbox 360 console inside a cabinet. Luckily there was no fire as it was only an electrical short, but it still makes me a bit nervous to think that my console might do the dance of fire when I'm not home. As always, it is a good idea to unplug all of your electronic equipment before leaving the house, especially when you are going to be gone for an extended period of time.

Activision announced today that that the multiplayer betas of COD:WAW are going to be hitting the Xbox 360 and PS3 in October.

If you are an Xbox 360 user you can go now to www.callofduty.com and register to be apart of it all. There are currently no more details on the PC beta or when and how you will register for it. You may also be wondering where the PS3 beta is. There is no news whatsoever about the PS3 version at the moment. With no indication of whether or not it will actually become available. When asked about it, Activision said: "We'll have more details on the betas in the near future." What exactly is that supposed to mean? I guess we will just have to wait and see.
