Unleash the Nazis own dark powers against them as you battle unimaginable evil and unexpected foes with the new Wolfenstein demo.

You are sent on a special mission into the heart of the Reich to investigate evidence that the Nazis may possess a new and mysterious power.

Xbox 360 System Update rolling out (no new feature)

Xbox 360 System Update rolling out (no new feature)
Published by: forahobby on Wednesday, September 23, 2009
Tagged: Gaming, Hardware, Xbox 360, Xbox Live,

Major Nelson has just posted about a Xbox 360 System Update which is planned for rollout on Xbox Live over the next few hrs. There are no new features or changes in this update. This update is preparation for additional system enhancements that will arrive later this year.

Read on for more info from "Major Nelson":

I wanted to let you know that the team has released a system update for the Xbox 360 over Xbox LIVE.

Sometime over the next few hours when you sign in to Xbox LIVE you’ll receive a prompt to accept this mandatory update. If you are signed into LIVE already, you may be signed out and asked to accept the update and you’ll be back online in a few moments.

There are no new features or changes in this update. This update is preparation for additional system enhancements (Facebook/Twitter/Last.FM) that will arrive later this year.

Again, there are no new features in this update.

UPDATE:
Note: Of course, just like the previous update this will update the first stage bootloader if needed and thus make the JTAG/SMC-Hack impossible. You have to stay pre-849x if you want to run this hack.

For DVD FW modders ... update at own risk as always ;)

Xbox Live will soon offer a brand new "Forza 3" Demo for all die hard fans to check out. Microsoft and Turn 10 today confirmed the demo will arrive on Xbox LIVE Marketplace starting September 24, 2009.

The white flag waves as “Forza Motorsport 3” has Gone Gold, entering its final lap before launching on Oct. 22 in Asia, Oct. 23 in Europe and Oct. 27 in North America exclusively on Xbox 360. To mark the occasion, Microsoft and Turn 10 today confirmed that a demo of the highly anticipated title will arrive on Xbox LIVE Marketplace starting Sept. 24.

You will be able to drive all of the cars in the demo in full cockpit view as well as experience damage, rollover and try out the game’s new rewind feature as you take turns on a beautiful Spanish mountain course inspired by the Montserrat region just outside of Barcelona, Spain. When logged into Xbox LIVE, the demo will also support official leaderboards for lap times, giving you a further taste of what players will experience in “Forza Motorsport 3.”

With today’s Gone Gold announcement and the recent announcements around the fan-designed R8 V10 5.2 FSI quattro and the exclusive Limited Collector’s Edition (which includes 10 exclusive bonus cars, VIP community status, and more), there has never been a better time to pre-order “Forza Motorsport 3.”

Halo 3: ODST Released Worldwide on Xbox 360

Halo 3: ODST Released Worldwide on Xbox 360
Published by: forahobby on Tuesday, September 22, 2009

“Halo 3: ODST” Releases Worldwide, Marking Bold New Chapter for Critically Acclaimed “Halo” Franchise.

The latest addition to the blockbuster Xbox 360 series delights fans and critics alike with a gripping new story and riveting cooperative multiplayer gameplay


The wait is finally over. Today, a new chapter in the legendary “Halo” saga opens up with the highly anticipated launch of “Halo 3: ODST.” After finishing the fight with Master Chief in “Halo 3,” players now have the opportunity to take a step back in time and experience the “Halo” universe from a whole new perspective.

Last night, more than 7,000 retail stores in the United States and a host of retailers in other countries opened their doors at midnight to usher in a flood of fans who sought to be the first to play the critically acclaimed title. Launch festivities were capped off with a “Halo” franchise celebration at the Experience Music Project | Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle, where Bungie and 343 Industries luminaries were on hand to meet and greet fans and celebrate the launch together.

Xbox 360 exclusive “Halo 3: ODST” is already winning critical acclaim from the nation’s top media outlets. Here’s what they are saying about the game:

    “The best Halo game yet,” and “An action-packed thrill ride from start to finish.”

    --Game Pro

    “It's part Blade Runner, part Saving Private Ryan, and yet in the end it's still definitely Halo.”

    --1UP.com

    “ODST is simply an excellent game.”

    --G4TV’s X-Play
With “Halo 3: ODST,” developer Bungie takes the “Halo” franchise into all new territory. Players are put in the boots of an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, some of the toughest and bravest soldiers of the UNSC. Players must search for clues to find out what happened to their squad when a drop into the city of New Mombosa goes wrong, and discover the secret behind the Covenant’s interest in the city.

In addition to a full-fledged campaign, “Halo 3: ODST” introduces Firefight, a new cooperative multiplayer mode where up to four players battle waves of unrelenting Covenant onslaughts. The game also introduces three new “Halo 3” competitive multiplayer maps and contains the complete, standalone “Halo 3” multiplayer experience on a second disc. “Halo 3: ODST” will also act as a key to entry into the “Halo: Reach” multiplayer beta at a later date.

The “Halo” franchise is an award-winning collection of properties that have grown into a global entertainment phenomenon. Beginning with the original “Halo: Combat Evolved” for Xbox in 2001, the rich fiction of the franchise has since inspired a series of blockbuster Xbox and Xbox 360 video games, New York Times best-selling novels, comic books, action figures, apparel and more.

Published by Microsoft Game Studios, the “Halo” franchise of games is exclusive to the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system and the games are optimized for the Xbox LIVE online entertainment network. To date, more than 27 million copies of “Halo” games have been sold worldwide, driving more than 2 billion hours of gameplay by people connected to Xbox LIVE.

Call of Duty 5 - Prestige with Just a Knife

Call of Duty 5 - Prestige with Just a Knife
Published by: hqm0nsterb0y on Monday, September 21, 2009
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360, Xbox Live,

360-HQ Gamer "HQ GAMExxOVER" has completed a prestige level up by only using the knife on cod5. Check out more info and Detailed stats below....

Done on Xbox360, using only a Knife, not a shot fired, no dogs or artillery, no nades of any kind. Just run'in and slicing, See the video..


More info...

1. I did the prestige over about a 2 week period

2. I stated I called in a few artillery, this was just to clear the kill streak spot as I would use radar once in a while, I would pull up the artillery and drop it far off the map so as not to get any kills.

3. You will see in the stats I have turret Hunter, this was done 4 times by running up along side a tank with a gunner, jumping up and stabbing him, also when a guy jumps out of a tank and you kill him, he is still considered a turret gunner even though he is no longer in the tank.

4. You will see I have about 1 mile put on the tank on the road trip challenge, I did use the tank a few times on large maps but just as transportation to get past a sniper, I never fired a shot in the tank or turret and was careful not to run anyone over.

5. Web stats for Knife...
I was a bit disappointed to find that the web stats to not record knife use! they keep track of how many kills you get by hitting someone with a gas grenade, statistics on every weapon and a bunch of other stats but nothing on knife, I hope they change this in the future, maybe have a unlockable GOLD KNIFE for like 5,000 Knife kills.

6. Camping..
I never camped, If I did I would still be doing the challenge. The only time I would sit still is if I was taking a headquarters or protecting a headquarters. The most effective way to knife is to keep moving, stay alert for any enemy movement around you, when you see someone just start running for them, regardless if they are looking right at you, far away or if they are in the open and in a gun battle, you can not be concerned about dying, you just have to go for it.
