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.
New Wii Fit Plus
At the recent GameStop Manager Conference in Las Vegas Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime solidified a ship date for the pending Wii Fit update. Wii Fit Plus is set to launch in North America on October 4. The updated title will offer new exercises, yoga and balance activities and the ability to customize workouts and target specific areas of the body. Wii Fit Plus will replace the current Wii Fit skew at retail, bundled with the Wii Balance Board for $99.99 or standalone for $19.99.
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

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

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.
