Paint Jobs on your 360 2007-04-09 17:47:00 ColorWare is already known for its high-end laptop and iPod paint jobs. But starting this summer, Gamepro mailed in a PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360 for a test run. ColorWare followed our exact specifications and mailed the consoles back for our approval. The results? See for yourself: clean, professional, and highly detailed colored coats. ColorWare will extend its coloring magic to videogame consoles.If you send in your own game system, you'll pay $99 for the coloring service and $25 per controller. Those prices may seem high, but are actually a bargain: ColorWare charges $399 and up for its laptop PC coloring services. To see the full range of 28 color coats, as well as further pricing options, see ColorWarePC.com Read more:Paint

You can see a plethora of new features added, so many we cannot even list them all. One of the most inpressive new features will be the ability to set downloads in a low power mode which shuts down the console when the transfer is complete. That, combined with the ability to add MSN Messenger friends Read more:Xbox

GTA IV details surface in Game Informer magazine May issue 2007-04-11 02:03:00 You read that one right: we've found some new details
about the Rockstar North-developed game, Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360 and PS3) over at GTA4.net. They've uncovered information from the Game Informer magazine's May issue
that had a 10-page GTA IV world exclusive preview, and we're telling you, that issue revealed a lot of stuff about this highly anticipated game. Game Informer was able to play only the Xbox 360 version of the game though.One of the most trivial things about GTA IV (as featured in the video released just a few weeks ago) is the protagonist (yup, the guy in the video). GI has an answer for that: the guy's name is Nikko Bellic, and he's believed to be either of Serbian or Croatian descent. As for the gameplay, Rockstar decided to give players more freedom, more choices, and more control over what happens in the game. You can choose what you want to do in the game - like hang out with someone since that person always has something up his sleeve or al Read more:details surface

XBox gets a Snap on QWERTY Thumb Keyboard 2007-04-09 18:31:00 The old race to put a computer in the living room seems to have been replaced by a stealth operation. With the PlayStation 3 running Folding@Home and packing BlueRay, and the XBox 360 working as a Media Center extender, it seems that a whole bunch of people have some pretty PC-like action going on. A new Dashboard Update takes this one step further: The XBox will be adding Windows Live Messenger in May, and this is the hardware to go with it. The QWERTY keyboard clips into the gamepad and lets you go at it Blackberry style. There's a microphone port on the bottom to replace the one it covers up, and those keys are backlit for secret all night sessions. No prices yet, but expect it in time for the summer. Read more:Thumb

Command and Conquer 3 Achievements 2007-04-13 21:46:00 Half the fun of playing games on the Xbox 360 is unlocking achievements. Hell, just saying the word achievement feels pretty good. Try it: "achieeeeevement." Feels good, doesn't it? Because we all love achievements so much, we bring you the full achievement list for Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, which arrives next month. The list comes to us courtesy of Achieve360Points and it's quite a list. It's refreshing to see that the bulk of the achievements are located in the single player campaign, as many games reserve the big points for multiplayer. Hopefully, this means everyone will be well versed in the game when they finally jump over to multiplayer. Of course, there are a handful of multiplayer achievements as well, including plenty of shame achievements worth 0 points. For example, lose a game to someone ranked 20 places below you and you'll net the "Losing Face" achievement. Hit the "read" link to see all 22 achievements.A demo of Command and Conquer 3 should hit marketpl

Microsoft gearing up for a November release 2007-04-13 19:31:00 Since the announcement of a US release of the Xbox 360 Elite a few weeks back, rumours have been flying around about when the machine is going to land its sleek black shoes in the UK. Guestimates are what these rumours have been at best. src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">However, as Friday afternoon starts to draw to a close, the news of the week hits our desks, as unconfirmed reports suggest the Elite wont arrive 'til November
. A few phonecalls later, and we're informed that the Microsoft
has been making pubishers aware of the UK release date over the last week. While Microsoft representatives have been unavailable to comment, the information is as solid as can be when it's still technically a rumour.However, what this also does is stamp the second class citizen debate right at the top of gaming forum agendas over the weekend. Do we really have to wait until November for the same thing the US get six months previous? Read more:gearing

PGA Tour 08 for the Xbox
360. The sequel to Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07, the new game has two new key features: EA SPORTS GamerNet1 and Photo Game Face. Both features are focused on user-created content and should add more replayability to the game.EA SPORTS GamerNet1 allows users to upload their golf standings and videos. This will allow other players to try and beat your records, likewise, other players will also be posting their own achievements that you can try to beat. The Photo Game Face on the other hand will allow users to create "photo-realistic game characters" by simply uploading photos. This is good, because even those who aren't artistically inclined can enjoy seeing themselves in the game against Tiger Woods.Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 is set to be released for the Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii, Nintendo DS, and PC. No date has yet been given for the release of this game. While waiting for more information, be sure to check out
Half-Life 2 arriving in September? 2007-04-13 08:51:00 Valve’s Doug Lombardi and Robin Walker have given FPS fans hope that their bumper Half-Life 2: Episode 2 package for Xbox 360 could arrive sooner than currently expected. Speaking to IGN, the pair have revealed that September
is currently the targeted drop date - cue excitement! Whilst both have reiterated Valve's intention to ship the game this year in the interview, there is also a chance that plans for a simultaneous multiplatform release could be nixed. Stating "If some are ready, we're gonna go," Marketing Director Lombardi has us dreaming of a another timed exclusive. And although neither Lombardi nor Walker offered any official confirmation that Microsoft’s machine would be first past the release line, but there are points that swing the vote favourably towards the Xbox 360. type="text/javascript">Firstly the fact that both console ports are being migrated direct from the original PC version, with Xbox 360 duties once again being handled internally by Valve at its Bellevu
New Test Drive cars free of charge 2007-04-13 02:34:00 Given the recent hoopla over content prices on Xbox Live Marketplace, it's good to see something free. Of course, it's always nice to see something free, isn't it? Atari announced today that it has teamed up with Lexus to bring two new cars to Test Drive Unlimited. The two new cars are the GS 450h hybrid (pictured) and the LS 460. We're not sure how luxury cars compare to the sports cars found in Test Drive, but it looks like we'll find out. For all the Test Drive fans out there, this content is available right now. Read more:charge
NASCAR 08 Hands-on Preview 2007-04-15 17:00:00 I'm just going to come right out and say it, NASCAR
is not an exciting sport to watch on TV. Unless you've got some unbreakable ties to one of the drivers, the common sports fan has an understandably difficult time accepting the fact that NASCAR has developed into one of the most popular sporting events in the nation. Yes, the cars are moving fast and yes, there are plenty of wrecks, but at the end of the day they're all still turning left over and over again.Video game NASCAR racing has always been a bit more fun, with some titles taking more of an arcade approach, while others have tried delivering a true, simulation experience. EA Sports' NASCAR series has always attempted the latter, trying to bring all of the intricate detail of NASCAR to the mainstream gamer. Sometimes their games have garnered great acclaim and success, while other efforts haven't exactly panned out.Very recently we were down in Orlando, Florida to check out NASCAR 08, its newest and first on next-gen conso Read more:Hands
