Shadow Complex Breaks Sales Record On Xbox Live

Shadow Complex has sold 200,000 copies since the game went live August 19, making it the most downloaded single-player title in Xbox Live Arcade history. The game has garnered rave reviews since its release and has been compared to the likes of Super Metroid and Castlevania. Plus at only 1200 Microsoft Points ($15) it’s easy to see how Shadow Complex has become one of the most popular games of the summer.

Playstation 3 Firmware v3.00 Now Available: Whats New?

Just in time for the launch of the PS3 Slim, Sony released PS3 Firmware v3.00 that offers a breadth of new features including a redesigned XMB for improved navigation and personalization features.

The biggest change is what Sony calls the “What’s New” section, which replaces the “Information Board” previously available. Located under the PlayStation Network icon, the addition displays the latest news and videos broken up in screens. Click on one of the screens and it will take you directly to its source. If there is a video featured, the video launches immediately upon selection. It will also display games last played on the PS3 for easy launch. Other shortcuts include the PlayStation Store icon, which now also appears underneath the Game and Video icons as shortcuts to games and videos featured in the store.
At the upper right hand corner of the screen you’ll now find an indicator bar displaying your user icon, a friend icon displaying the number of your friends online, a mail icon that displays when you receive new messages, and a scrolling news ticker underneath. This makes it easier to track activity on the PlayStation Network as it is no longer buried in the XMB.
With the firmware update comes more options to personalize your PS3. There are finally more avatars to choose from. This includes free and premium avatars available for download. In addition, dynamic developer-created themes are available that feature full movement of characters in the theme, as well as backgrounds changing based on night and day. Both avatars and these new dynamic themes are available through the PlayStation Store.
Finally, the update gives game developers the ability to modify the way trophies are displayed. Base and add-on game trophies will still be combined into a single list so you can gauge where you stand in a game as a whole. You can also break these lists into base and add-on trophies to separately track your progress in add-ons.

Make Money On Twitter

Make Money On Twitter:

Let me tell you this program works! It is set up to be non-spammy and you wont lose followers either. The company that runs it is very professional as you will see when working with them. It is set up so that the more followers you have the bigger offers you are going to get from advertisers. This is not some get rich quick scheme, but if you are looking for a way to put extra cash in your pocket this is the ticket. You will have lots of fun making money on twitter as I am! I have been with Sponsored tweets since their debut about a month ago and now receive offers from advertisers everyday. You will not find yourself sitting at the computer for hours trying to figure this thing out, they email you or direct message you on twitter when you have an offer. Give it a try and please post a comment here on how it works out for you. 

P.S. When setting your price don't be greedy(If your price is too high you won't get any offers). Get yourself established first with some offers. Don't go with their "suggested" price, you will wait a long, long time before getting any offers if you do! ;)

Brett Favre, Michael Vick to be added to Madden 2010 Update.

Brett Favre, Michael Vick to be added to Madden 2010 Update.

Set to August 19th, the update will include Michael Vick (73 rating on game) and Brett Favre (82 rating on game)

Based on EA's "If it's in the game, it's in the game" slogan, one can only assume that if you're using the Vikings in franchise mode, you can fully expect Favre to retire at the end of your first season, be trailed relentlessly by Rachel Nichols, be featured in a series of recurring B-roll footage of him tossing lob passes to Hattiesburg high schoolers only to return just as you were thinking to yourself, "Wow. He's really doing it this time." - source Kevin Allen

Sony Reveals PS3 Slim, PS3 Price Cut to $300

There it is! The illusive Sony PS3 Slim along with a price cut. After over a year's worth of gossip and photo-forgeries. The PS3 looks just like you would expect, slimmer, smaller and only $100 less than the original.

I would say maybe this will appeal to someone who needs to travel with a PS3? Really other than that nothing is gained except for the $100 savings. This will be available everywhere September 1st.

Wolfenstein: PS3 Review

Wolfenstein: PS3 Review

After gathering much opinion from a number of people who have played the "old" Wolfenstein and the "new Wolfenstein we have come to the following conclusions.

The graphics are below average. They resemble fallout 3 or oblivion, although the game isnt free roam there are buildings with multiple levels. Other people are saying the game seems to be too "rushed out".

In a nut shell if your a fan of the original wolfenstein 3d then you’ll love this one. If not chances are you're not going to like it.

Free Trial at GameFly

If you are a gamer this is your ticket to renting games for way less than you could in a video store or anywhere else for that matter. Plus you don't end up stuck with buying a game that sucks. 

Attn: If your looking for a 30 day trial or something longer than this... I have bad news, it doesn't exist. Trust me I have put a lot of time into finding the best deal with Gamefly and this is it. 


Here is what you do....

They do require a credit card to sign up. You will have the game you select in your mailbox the next day(unless you order after 4pm, I think). You can keep the game for as long as you want. Just remember to put the game back in the pre-paid envelope and send it back when your done with it. Then 2-3 days later you will receive the next game on your list.  This is a trial, you will have enough time to get a game try it for a week and send it back with no extra fees charged to your credit card. So if you decide Gamefly isn't for you just make sure to cancel it before the 10th day and you will have nothing to worry about. This is a big company, not some low life trying to get your credit card information just to make a buck off of you. I loved the service and decided to keep it. Have Fun! If you gave this a try please leave your comments below and let everyone else know what you think of this service.

How to get an Xbox 360 controller to play games on a PC

I use a free program called XPadder - you can configure mouse functions and keyboard presses to be recognized by your controller. Once you've configured xpadder go to your game settings and assign the keys on your keyboard to the same ones you did in xpadder. Works for me flawlessly with Battlefield 2142 (by EA) in windows xp. They say it also works with Vista.

Half of Xbox 360's Subject to Failure

Half of Xbox 360's Subject to Failure

Ouch! That means a lot of $ in the pocket for Microsoft. So you buy an Xbox and you have a 50% shot that it will break within the first year of owning it. You would think Microsoft cared a little bit about their loyal followers right?

How to Improve your wireless connection to Xbox Live

How to Improve your wireless connection to Xbox Live

1) Other computers connected to the network slow it down.
2) Distance the Xbox is from the router. Further away = worse!
3) Interference, like having the Xbox inside a dresser, or having the router send signals to your Xbox through walls.
4) Are you using file sharing programs like Limewire or BitTorrent? These programs can slow the connection greatly.

How To Keep Your XBOX 360 In Good Condition

1. Turn off automatic downloads. Too much stress on the xbox over time.

2. Don't cover the air holes. Keep your xbox off the carpet and onto a table off the ground. Let it breathe!

3. Use an inter cooler like nyko, but remember the more air moving through the xbox the faster dust will pile up. If you use an inter cooler take a can of compressed air to it once a week. If you don't use an inter cooler blow it out with a compressed air can once every couple weeks.

4. Alway set your xbox horizontal. Never upright. If your xbox is upright, your chances of scratched games is inevitable. Laying it horizontal will prevent this problem.

5. Final piece of advice, don't leave your xbox turned on for days at a time. Doing so will only shorten the life because it is constantly working.
