Gears of War 2 and 3! 2007-12-11 01:32:00 Gears of war 1 was a great hit and took gaming to a whole new, different dimension..  I, personally loved the game and play it over and over again.. but now I want something new, something different, and I went searching and found out that, apparently ; Gears of War 2 is to be released next year and Gears of War 3 in 2010.  Now I am not sure whether there will be another Xbox out for the release of Gears of War 3 , but we will have to wait and see. All these speculations come form Surfer Girl and we have no reason to doubt it because all her past speculations have come true. Lets just hope that we are not disappointed.... "Berseker" ! Read more:Gears

Guitar sound issues with Wii 2007-12-08 10:36:00 "Activision to hopefully fix issues"People who bought the Wii
version of Guitar
Hero III have been (justifiably) annoyed by the lack of stero and surround sound in Activision's popular music game. However, Wii owners can at least take some comfort in knowing that the problem will soon be fixed.Says Wii Fanboy...According to Activision's customer support, they intend to release a re-mastered disc which should be available by early 2008 due to complaints of angry and irritated users. This means that customers who buy the game after the re-mastering will will get fixed copies whilst consumers who have already bought the game can get a disc replacement at no charge whatsoever.Wii Fanboy, goes on to say :The last time we announced a disc swap for a glitched Wii game, many of you expressed your desires to have a simple downloadable patch instead. While we agree that a patch would be more convenient, we're still glad that there will be a fix available in the near future.In my opinion, the

DragonBallZ Movie: Master Roshi 2007-12-19 13:22:00 Finally! We get some news on Master
Roshi, I mean come on, his the one that gives DBZ that touch right? Or am I wrong? Well apparantly Mr. Chow Yun-Fat has to play the old crazy man's part.. (He acts in Bulletproof Monk, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Pirates of the Carribbean :  At World's End and so many more..) Still don't know who I'm talking about? As you may know he also acts in Jet Li's movie : "Fearless"... Master Roshi is the one who taught Goku the ever famous Kamehamaeha attack..Wonder if he will have his old turtle to talk to...Thanks to Lordspaceman for all info on the DBZ movie...Â
DragonBallZ Movie: Bulma 2007-12-19 13:16:00 Seems like this nobody movie is turning into a big hit! Although there are a few nobody's there are many somebody's ! Seems like a 21 year old Emmy Rossom is taking up the part of Bulma (She acts in Day After Tomorrow and Poseidon.) Blue hair? We shall have to see... If it's not done correctly it could mess up the whole movie and I'm certain that's no going to happen!!
DragonBallZ Movie: Chi Chi 2007-12-19 13:00:00 As an addon to my previous post about DragonBallZ, we have finally found an actress for Chi Chi.. Jamie Chung is to play the role of the short-tempered Chi Chi (Goku's now, future wife.) Quote from Superhero Hype:"...Jamie Chung has joined Justin Chatwin and James Marsters in Fox's Dragon Ball Z, the live-action adaptation of the popular Japanese comic.James Wong is directing the science fiction action-adventure, which centers on an adult humanoid alien named Goku (Chatwin) who, after discovering he was sent to Earth to destroy the population, tries to fulfill the wish of his dying grandfather and collect all seven of the world's mystical Dragon Balls to keep them out of the hands of the evil aliens.Chung will play Chi Chi, the love interest of Goku when he's growing up.Marsters ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") plays the evil Piccolo, who tries to take over the world..." As we can see the Movie seems to be coming on really well and yet another nobody in the acting world comin
Latest US charts 2007-12-19 12:36:00 As we all know, their is a huge demand for the Wii but Nintendo cannot meet these demands... As we all know the Wii has been reigning for at least (the last three weeks), but the PS3 beat the Wii for the first time (possibly) and was mutilated by the Xbox 360... Surprisingly (or not) the Wii came stone last...360-  330, 501PS3-  192, 730Wii-  173,798As we can see the Xbox has sold 330 thousand consoles in 1 week alone!!!Software sales are still the same though : 360-  2,093,041Wii-  1,684,993PS3-  867,715What is scary is that the PS3 had released two major games this week (Unreal Tournament 3 and Orange Box)The topseller on Xbox shelfs is still Call of Duty 4.
PS3 firmware upgrade rumored for today... 2007-12-18 09:15:00 It seems that PlayStation 3 owners could be in for one mighty surprise when they start up their PS3's tomorrow... Engadget says: "...As a user on the NeoGAF forums noticed, it recently put up a page which revealed that 2.10 firmware update "was released on December 18, 2007," bringing with it a number of additions, including DivX suport (with some limitations) and, as rumored, support for Blu-ray Disc Profile 1.1..." This means that you'll be able to take full advantage of the 'Voice Changer' feature, which will disguise or change your voice in video chat or whatever you might use it for... You'll also hopefully be getting support for (VC1) WMV files in addition to the DivX ones... Happy Gaming! Read more:upgrade

Assassin's Creed for PC to be delayed 2008-03-05 06:39:00 So we all know that this is a great game to have on either the PS3 or Xbox 360 but people playing games on the Computer should enjoy it too shouldn't they?The game was suppose to be released on the 28th of March but instead has been moved a week later to somewhere in early April.There are no reasons as to why this is happening but my guess must be the retailers or distributors or maybe even a few minor problems with the game?This is a worldwide delay.According to a comment a read earlier on today the game is already available to download on Torrent sites?So maybe its the shipping or maybe the Distributors just want to be mean...Hang on people, they are coming!!...Eventually...

As with many other users, his Xbox 360 packed in and it was time for the long lost trip to Microsoft. Even though, beforehand, Nathaniel called ahead of time to get reassurance that he would get his prized console back in tip-top shape. He even sent them a letter regarding his concern...But...
