"Is anything on anyone's radar lately? Other that Prototype and Fight Night 4, nothing is really peaking my interest. Perhaps we'll hear more out of E3, but I doubt it."

Prototype
Assassin's Creed 2
Bioshock 2

^Both sequels are slated for release in late 2009. Prototype is June 9th, looks interesting:

Quote :

"A key aspect of Prototype is the 'disguise and destroy' concept which is tied to the protagonist's enemy-consuming and shapeshifting powers. The player character is able to consume the bodies of those he has beaten and killed, giving him access to their memories, their experiences, their biomass and their physical forms. The character can also shapeshift into more specialized forms for attack, defense or sensory enhancement. All of these together are intended to give players multiple ways to complete their objectives."

Quote :

"The plot of Prototype centres on a large conspiracy regarding an unnamed mutagenic virus currently infecting New York City. The effects of the virus have been witnessed before in the town of Hope, Idaho in 1971 (around the time of Alex's birth). After being released in Penning Station in New York, the virus spreads through the city, necessitating at first subtle government actions to combat it, then martial law and evacuation. Alex wakes up with heavy amnesia in a morgue under the scalpels of two HAZMAT-suited scientists and escapes dazed into the city. He then begins to come to terms with his powers (including the ability to absorb memories - which is crucial to piecing together his own), and makes contact with his sister, Dana Mercer. Dana assists him in finding members of the conspiracy, which include government officials, military personnel and employees of bio-engineering firm Gentek, where it is revealed Alex was previously employed. Alex encounters several characters, not all of which have currently been revealed. His primary physical antagonist is the Specialist, leader of the Blackwatch special forces branch of the US military. Other characters include Karen Parker, a researcher at Gentek and Alex's former girlfriend, Pat McMullen, head of Gentek, and Dr Ragland, a pathologist that assists Alex and studies the infected. As Alex adds more and more nodes to the Web of Intrigue (by consuming people's minds), the virus begins to spread further and further through New York, and the military is forced to step up operations in order to prevent spreading further. The city is evacuated, quarantined and placed under martial law as the military moves in with a full-scale lockdown with tanks, infantry and air support. The virus grows stronger and stronger, mutating citizens of New York into various monstrous forms. As the conflict begins to consume the city Alex's actions will play a part in deciding the course of the battle and perhaps the ultimate victor. As the game features non-linear sandbox play, the player is free to explore the city with Alex's superhuman agility through the course of the game. Steve Mele, Art Production Manager of Radical Entertainment, said in a blog "Speaking of exploring, I know there is a severed human leg on a rooftop somewhere in the city which initiates a side-story when found."[6]"

Bionic Commando comes out on Tuesday. Playing it now and it is real fun.

Batman Arkham Asylum is also coming out soon and looks awesome.

Prototype also comes out soon.

All the other games are coming out later.

Red Faction Guerilla comes out in June it looks ok.

5/16/2009 8:33:47 PM

I thought Arkham Asylum got pushed back to September?

5/16/2009 11:28:35 PM

Damn I heard end of summer, didn't know it would take that long.

5/17/2009 12:15:00 AM

^^EB in the mall already has a poster up FWIW

5/17/2009 1:24:54 AM

Batman's posters game to Gamestop before the push back. It's not showing it's face before August/September in my opinion (late summer isn't June/July).

It's too bad Prototype is coming out so close to Infamous since they're the same type of game (with different powers). With Infamous getting so many good reviews, it'll be interesting to see how everyone treats Prototype.

And don't forget about Ghostbusters & Tiger 2010 coming out in June.

Well Infamous is just for ps3 so you wouldn't think Prototype's 360 sales would suffer

5/18/2009 10:20:21 AM

^Most likely true, but I won't be purchasing them both in May/June. I'll probably pick up one or the other depending on Prototype's reviews.

5/18/2009 4:07:59 PM

Tiger 2010 demo is on XBL marketplace

5/21/2009 11:33:14 AM

Did Langton from the paper tell you that or did you find it on your own ?

FESS UP

5/21/2009 12:06:26 PM

busted

5/21/2009 12:08:26 PM

i was looking at some of the games coming out in the next year or so and there are some ones i'm looking forward to:

obvious shit like NCAA Football, Madden, but also stuff like

Modern Warfare 2 (looks like COD4 is getting a new installment )
Fight Night Round 4
The Bigs 2
GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra
Tekken 6
The Rogue Warrior (based on Richard Marcinko)
Mass Effect 2

EA and their remanufacturing of the same game OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER FTW!!!

"Mass Effect 2"

5/21/2009 3:43:50 PM

^^well the first one came out around the time the 360 came out, so its not like they put out the same game every year like tiger, etc

5/21/2009 3:49:34 PM

Yeah Fight Night is usually one of their more well done games, especially graphically. Typically they come out on more of a delayed schedule because they actually add quite a bit per release.

5/21/2009 9:42:11 PM

^^ Well didn't the 360 come out like 4 years ago.

5/21/2009 11:15:13 PM

See:

Nintendo

5/22/2009 11:53:47 AM

^^ yes, but fight night 1 and 2 were for ps2/xbox. 360 didn't get one until fight night 3.

those 3 were 2k4, 2k5, 2k6. so it has been a few years since the last one.

5/22/2009 4:09:09 PM

red faction multiplayer demo is up on marketplace

kinda fun

5/22/2009 8:06:31 PM

^^ oh, ok. See he said the first one came out when the 360 did. Hence the confusion of how are they not then being released every year.

5/22/2009 8:56:59 PM

well, the first 3 were yearly installments, but they played differently enough to attract interest (plus a big graphics jump for 3).

5/22/2009 10:08:46 PM

i simply meant, the ONLY Fight Night game thus far for XBOX360 has been Fight Night Round 3, which was (according to wiki) released in February, 2006, roughly 5 months after the 360's launch, but also roughly 3.5 years before the upcoming release of Fight Night 4

I simply meant that the Fight Night franchise wasn't rehashed and recycled into a new game every single year like some other EA sports franchises on the 360

5/23/2009 4:13:58 PM

damn you goozex for raising your point cap

all of the new releases will probably be frozen for 2-3 months until it's sorted out...sigh

guess i'm going to actually have to purchase fight night 4 now

5/24/2009 10:05:20 AM

Has streaming video from the computer to the xbox been discussed?

Let's say I want to steam a video from abc (lost episodes) to my box...is it possible?

Could you use some type of sharing software like TVersity?

5/25/2009 7:13:50 PM

tversity PRO version (still free) will do what you're looking to do; however looking at the list of supported sites ABC isn't supported yet but Hulu, NBC, CBS, etc... are

tversity standard will only stream files from the PC to the xbox not streaming internet content.

TVersity works really well for a free product

[Edited on May 25, 2009 at 7:32 PM. Reason : .]

5/25/2009 7:26:19 PM

^Thanks for that.

Been playing with it for a while, and for some reason the steaming quality is pretty choppy on the box. Sound comes through fine, but video is constantly skipping.

Granted, it's over a wireless connection, but surely there's a way to reduce quality to the point of having it steam without problems? It doesn't have to be perfect, I just want to watch shows on my tv instead of sitting in front of the computer.

5/25/2009 9:26:28 PM

^i had no problem streaming shows from the internet with my dual core work PC over wireless network, albiet my xbox is connected directly to the router. are you using the wireless dongle for the xbox?

5/25/2009 11:07:26 PM

Damn I love the UFC demo. I got a submission for the first time today on that. Great stuff. Pretty much been replaying that and the NHL 09 demo whenever I get bored. Wish I could get those games, but $$$ is low.

5/26/2009 12:38:05 AM

NHL 09 is one of the best sports games ever created. And I say that with minimal hyperbole.

You should check Craigslist, it's entirely worth it. It is impossible to regret that purchase.

5/26/2009 1:10:30 AM

^^UFC demo is pretty cool...just downloaded it and played it a few times...i lost to liddell by ko the first time, then the next match got him to the mat and pummeled his face until the ref stopped it...then i tried as liddell and knocked out rua...needs more characters! but they want you to buy the game for that

Comp is hard wired to router, xbox is wireless

What type of settings did you use for the transcoder in TVersity? Default settings?

a friend of mine thinks '08 is far superior. i haven't played '09, so off the top of your head what are some differences or improvements?

5/26/2009 8:48:23 AM

anybody check out sacred 2? i liked the first one on the pc so i picked up the 2nd for the 360 after checkin out some positive reviews. so far its a lot of fun. unfortunately my headset still wont work so i cant talk to anybody. i recorded a message to send someone and played it back and heard it, so that would mean the headphones and mic worked. it just doesnt work in game.

5/30/2009 3:07:12 AM

Fight Night round 4 demo is out to XBL Gold members

5/30/2009 1:06:10 PM

I just got NHL 08 yesterday because it was only $12, and I love it. I just wish half of the achievements were not online ones.

Maybe I'll get Eric Staal to sign the cover one day...(reach, I know).

5/30/2009 1:48:32 PM

^^^Have you opened the ports that Xbox live uses on your router? I think that can affect the voice chat.

5/30/2009 2:42:05 PM

^^ not really, just go to the autograph signing they do at the beginning of each season

5/30/2009 2:45:13 PM

hm no i havent tried that.

5/30/2009 5:49:52 PM

make sure you're not in an "XBox Live Party"

can you use the mic with other games?

5/30/2009 6:38:46 PM

it use to work with cod4 and nba 2k9, but i havent had any luck hearin anybody in anything lately. i played cod4 for a while today just to check but either nobody spoke or i didnt hear em.

when i go to Chat & IM, the game i'm playing has the orange speaker beside it, so i think its the active voice chat.

5/30/2009 6:48:32 PM

Anything you've changed recently that might've killed it?

5/30/2009 6:52:25 PM

not that i know of. i got the orange box and tried to play tf2 and could never hear anyone talk. ever since then, nothin's worked

5/30/2009 6:57:17 PM

if anybody get a chance and wants to help me out, i could start a chat with someone just to see if i can hear you and you can hear me. if that doesnt work, i'll just replace the thing.

5/30/2009 7:31:17 PM

how's the FN4 demo?

I'm a silver member, haven't felt the need since my subscription ran out to update to gold, so mine won't be up for another week or so

5/30/2009 9:47:22 PM

i thought if you had live you were automatically a gold member. is that not right?

5/30/2009 10:48:23 PM

^^demo is pretty good, you can either be hatton or pacquio...the full game has tyson in it...looks like ali has the best ratings in the game though...leonard had pretty high ratings too

^i might be wrong, but i think there are two different options, the silver being cheaper, gold giving you more downloads, some full version arcade games for free, some other bonuses

Fight Night also has a thing where the better you do in a round, the more potential 'trainer points' you can get for between rounds, which you can spend on partially restoring stamina, health, etc

if you get knocked down, which you do in training, its kind of tricky to get up...you have to center the left and right sticks...kinda tough to explain but takes getting used to
