360 Deals of the Week: San Andreas, Max Payne 2, Fable 15 March 2010 at 5:00 am by admin


You’ve got $10 burning a hole in your pocket, right? Why not use it to buy some last-gen classics on Xbox LIVE?  Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas , Max Payne 2 , and the original Fable are all 800 MS Points on Xbox LIVE right now. That’s $10 a piece, which is half of their original price, and about 40 dollars cheaper than I spent on them when they were originally released.  Not bad deals if you ask me, considering — at the very least — both San Andreas and Fable can keep you busy for hours on top of hours.

+ inXile-developed, Bethesda-published Hunted announced By admin 15 March 2010 at 4:00 am and have No Comments

Hunted: The Demon’s Forge , “a dark fantasy” and a “story of sacrifice and addiction,” has been announced today. Developed by inXile Entertainment (2004’s The Bard’s Tale ) and published by Bethesda Softworks, Hunted is an attempt to update the classic dungeon crawler experience of old, with a heavy focus on cooperative play.  The game puts players in the roles of E’lara and Caddoc, as they work together using range, melee, and magic attacks to take out rat-bat-looking baddies and other monsters.

+ Codemasters: PSP is a ‘bollocking waste of space’ By admin 15 March 2010 at 3:20 am and have No Comments

Codemasters executives aren’t really know for their harsh industry criticisms or, indeed, anything at all, but vice president Gavin Cheshire has recently had some incredibly brutal things to say about Sony’s PSP, claiming that it was ostensibly useless, and that has put off consumers.  “Well, speaking as a person who bought a PSP, the problem was that I always thought, because it was a better screen than iPod’s, that I’d be doing more with it,” he explains.

If you watched GameTrailers TV  on Friday night, then you’ve already seen this extended cut of the  Medal of Honor  trailer that debuted at the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards. But even if that’s true, I’d say that the new two-minute trailer is worth checking out again anyway.
