Broken Steel DLC makes Fallout 3 endless on May 5

by on Apr.22, 2009, under Game News, updates and events

So, you’ve taken part in Operation Anchorage and visited The Pitt and you’re still hungry for more Fallout 3 content? Luckily you don’t have too much longer to wait for Broken Steel, the third — and largest — piece of downloadable content for the game, which will be made available on Xbox Live on May 5.

Not only does Broken Steel add a new main quest line which, at four to five hours, is longer than The Pitt, but it also removes a lot of Fallout 3 fans’ major qualms with the game — the ending. Broken Steel takes place after the original ending of the game, allowing you to continue to explore the world after the main quest line is complete. It also increases the level cap from 20 to 30 and introduces some new high-level perks, armor and weapons.

The original Fallout 3 endgame has been changed, so that three companions will no longer refuse to aid you in your final task. The Broken Steel story picks up two weeks later, with you dealing of the consequences of your actions. Don’t worry, completing Broken Steel won’t end the game either. The folks at Bethesda haven’t moved the finishing line — they’ve dismantled it.

Halo Wars ‘Strategic Options’ DLC adds new multiplayer, achievements

by on Apr.22, 2009, under Game News, updates and events

If your real-time strategy needs have been fulfilled ever since you took care of business in Halo Wars, then know that Microsoft is preparing some DLC for deployment. The DLC pack will be titled “Strategic Options” and will contain 4 new achievements for 100 points and 3 new multiplayer modes.

First up is Keepaway, a CTF variant featuring 3 different flags for capture. Next up is Reinforcement, a mode that provides support in waves, disabling your ability to build armies. Finally, there’s Tug of War, which Microsoft has not divulged any info on, though our own pre-school experience with the gametype causes us to assume it will involve a rope, and take place near the jungle gym. We’re kidding: the winner is decided based on total volume of assets, including units, buildings, and resources.

The new achievements are:

  • “One and Done” (30 points): Score the winning point in a game of Keepaway against Legendary A.I.’s
  • “Pull Hard, Pull Deep” (20 points): Win and never trail in a Tug of War game
  • “Freak on a Streak” (20 points): Gain at least 15 population from a single wave in a Reinforcement game
  • “Living Loving Bug” (30 points): Obtain a Scarab during a Reinforcement game

Microsoft has not commented on a price for this DLC, but we’ve put in word to Microsoft for confirmation.

Ubisoft is adding to the H.A.W.X. fleet this week, bringing six new planes to the Xbox 360,  game that bears Tom Clancy’s name via the downloadable European Assault Pack.

The new aircraft includes the Dassault Rafale, Saab-37 Viggen, Mirage 2000N, Mirage 4000, FB-22 prototype bomber and the experimental XA-20 Razorback from Tom Clancy’s EndWar. Ubisoft also blew its DLC load a little early, showing off a hell of a lot more than it probably planned to.

Xbox 360 Console (20 GB Hard Drive)

by on Apr.20, 2009, under My band of merry men

51G9MB7NEBL. SL500 AA280 Xbox 360 Console (20 GB Hard Drive)

Amazon.co.uk Review
The Xbox 360 is Microsoft’s successor to the Xbox console, and is the first “next generation” games console to hit the market. It has three powerful core processors which pump out 720p/1080i output (translation: graphics look great), 16×9 cinematic aspect ratio (translation: it’s sort of like the cinema), anti-aliasing for smooth textures (translation: characters look less like chimps and more like people), full surround sound and DVD playback right out of the b (more…)

So whats new ?

by on Apr.18, 2009, under My band of merry men

n99 2 from dark witness 31 300x169So whats new ?n992 from dark witness2 300x169So whats new ?Another week gone by and its been good.  This week NPD showed off its march numbers.  Most of this stuff i look at on N4G, needless to say it was a fanboy fest.  360 fans were coming out of the woodwork to have a swing at the Sony fans for the poor sales numbers of the ps3 and killzone2.

I can’t say i blame them.  Up until its release it was all about how killzone 2 was going to crush the 360 and all it’s games.  The new word being thrown around was killzowned.   Seems the only thing that got Killzowned was Killzone itself.  The real truth of the matter is killzone 2 is a great game.  Its one of the best FPS games around.  Sales numbers wont change that, but it is strange that with all the hype it got it didn’t sell as expected.  So the question is this; If you own a PS3, did you get killzone 2 and what did you think of it ?  If you didn’t get it, why not ?

Some other cool stuff to surface this weekend, new screen shots of Ninty Nine Knights 2 !   Ahhhh….i know you were wondering what game the pics were from. 

Ok the first one i played a bit, it was good but could have been a lot better.  I am not quite sure what to think of the new game, but if the screen shots represent not just a graphical improvement, but an improvement in gameplay, story etc… It could be something quite special indeed.

I have also been attending my weekend internet marketing course.  It’s been great!  At the moment i am working on product creation, why?  Well, because i got something i hope is going to be useful to you guys.  Watch this space !
