Filed under: Gaming The next Xbox 360 Dashboard update promises to be a big one, with a totally revised menu system, Netflix support, and Wii-like avatars, but so far Microsoft's kept mum on when it's coming -- but we'd circle November on your calendars for now, since that's what MS UK apparently told the crew at RPG-TV. It's still not official official, but at least now you have something to look forward to in November ...

Gamerscore Blog has posted the schedule of games to be shown off at the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX), with Gears of War 2 dominating the list, being shown off eight times over the weekend, including a “signing session.” Other games to be shown off will be Project Origin (the sequel to F.E.A.R.) and Halo Wars, the highly anticipated Halo-themed real-time strategy game. The other significant showings will be Popfly, Microsoft’s new accessible game creator/web editor, ...

It's a rumor, but it sure is a juicy one. According to an Xbox360Fanboy source close to Microsoft PR, the $200 Xbox 360 Arcade (the SKU with no hard drive) will be sold in a bundle with a motion controller and a few motiony games during the coming holiday season. The possibility is certainly not all that crazy, as we've seen plenty of evidence supporting the Xbox 360 "Newton" motion controller, and everyone wants a ...

Yesterday I got a double dose of Ubisoft's Far Cry 2, getting a chance to check out the level editing features of both the console and PC versions of the game. While there are noticeable graphical differences between the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions versus the one they had running on a PC you can't afford, all three versions of the game are shipping with the multiplayer map editor, which should allow even the most ...

Microsoft's just inexplicably joined up with Rock the Vote to allow Xbox Live gamers to register to vote, talk about the candidates and participate in preliminary presidential votes. It's unclear whether you can do all this from your Xbox 360 (our guess is no), but you should ask yourself this question: do you actually want the people you play with on Xbox Live to be one step closer to voting? So we can get four ...

As you can see above, that'll get you a 60GB hard drive, a wired headset, and a gold Xbox Live membership good for three ...

The Gadget: Turtle Beach's Earforce X4. It's a wireless surround sound headset that can also plug into an Xbox 360 controller for full Live chatting. The Price: $200 The verdict: If you've got an extra $200 and play Xbox 360 a lot, buy 'em. It should be noted that these "surround sound" headphones are really transposing a 5.1 channel signal into two stereo speakers, but the results are excellent all the same. In Call of ...

The gaming news keeps on rolling with word of an improved XBOX 360 controller. It seems the boys over at Microsoft have outfitted a larger rocker underneath the d-pad, thus improving control. The new controller looks the same as the current model so don’t expect anything from that department as the change is inside. Time will tell if many gamers will ditch their current controllers though and spend the coin to get this one when ...

Das Xtand, die iPhone-Halterung im iMac-Aluminium-Design, traf heute zur Begutachtung bei uns ein. Die Verpackung ist elegant, schnörkellos und versucht die iPhone-Box zu imitieren. So ganz kommt die schwarze (unverstärkte) Pappe da nicht mit, aber wichtig ist ja das eigentliche iPhone-Accessoire. Und das - soviel sei schon einmal vorweg ...

Microsoft hasn't released its own Xbox Live iPhone app (and we're kinda thinking they won't), but it's definitely cool letting developers fill the gap, on one condition: They can't charge for the app. Of the three Live apps in the App Store, two are free right now, though iLive still charges $1.99, even though it has the worst interface of the three. Microsoft can boss them around 'cause they're all getting Live info through the ...

For the better part of two decades it’s been one of the top titles to play with friends, offline or, lately, online. But the pattern of features that were added, upgraded or unchanged from last year points to a major push that’ll expand the game’s social appeal, especially ...
