Halo Reach Beta - All Good Things Come to an End

May 3rd- May 19th, yes only 16 days of Reach. wow what a short beta period, thats the worst news i've heard in a while, i was expecting this for at least a month, i guess Bungie really must have a fairly fine tuned machine already. There will be different playlist and maps available at different times during this short period, so make sure you get on everyday or so to get the full Reach experience.

Tiger Woods Sex Scandal Game

South Park makes fun of it in one of their recent episodes, going as far to have an xbox game based on the scandal, so the idea is not new but D-Dub Software has actaully made a playable game based on it. Tiger Woods Affair Tour 2010, a explicit game that allows you to play as Tiger and bang pornstars and cocktail waitresses. 


"earn points and additional lives by scoring with different women and giving orgasms, and bonus points are earned for certain sex acts. If you're not into sleeping with everyone woman in sight, you can also blow off some steam by going to town on your bodyguards with a golf club."


"We play off of what goes in reality and whatever we think is funny," Marketing Director for D-Dub, Max Baptist VIII, said, adding that the company came up with the idea just one month ago and worked quickly to get the game ready.


You can download the game at Ebaumnation but word of warning, the site is quite graphic and may not be suitable for the workplace. 

Infinity Ward vs. Activision Part 2

Well since the firing of the two studio heads at IW for whatever reason Activision  had, and there whole legal situation which is still going on. With the count now up to 26 employees that have left IW because of this mess, many if not close to all who have joined Respawn. Many of the employees at IW that are still there, and several that have left have started up there own law suit against IW for $54 Million in Royalties owed. They are also seeking between $75-500 Million in Punitive Damages. Their lawsuit is based on Activisions inability to pay all of them their royalties for delivering Modern warfare 2 on time which is a breach of their contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and a violation of the Califonian labor code.

TV for Xbox 360

Since its release you have been able to sync your Xbox to your PC and watch live and recorded TV on your Xbox. Now Microsoft is in the works with the head of Fox Broadcasting to bring a dedicated channel directly to the Xbox via XBL. they are only in the talking stage of this right now, so its possible it may never happen, but there is a good chance there will be a full programed, with both new and re-run shows aimed at a "young, male target audience" Xbox Live Channel. We just hope that if they do start up this service for XBL Gold members that there wont be an extra fee or any of that malarkey.

Crysis 2 - First Impressions

The trailer for cyrsis 2 looks very promising and unlike its predecessor is multiplatform. Apparently the code is much more effeinct in this game and can run the amazing graphics on an Xbox 360. If its anything like the first one it should be stunning and considering the fact they have acclaimed sci-fi writer Richard Morgan writing the script for the game, i could only assume the storyline will be that much better. If you still haven't played the original Crysis, and have a fairly decent gaming computer, then you should definitely give it a play through. Check out Dan Webbs very thorough and in depth first impressions at X360A.
