Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,

S.T.A.L.K.E.R developer GSC Game World has become a certified Xbox 360 developer.

The Ukranian studio announced the news this weekend, saying that it has obtained all the necessary development tools “to get down to development of projects on Xbox 360”.

“Obtaining such a status for an independent developer based in ex-USSR means a lot - it took us over two years to get,” said Sergiy Grygorovych, CEO of GSC Game World.

"Creating games for PC, we achieved practically everything, and now are prepared to garner the top spots in sales charts and gamers' recognition in the world of console games too. This said, we will continue paying maximum attention to the PC platform."

Expand Your Xbox LIVE Network of Pals by browsing the Friends lists of other Xbox LIVE members. New Experience to be made available on December 4th with the Xbox 360 Fall Dashboard Update

Microsoft is making it even easier to expand your Friends network on Xbox LIVE, starting with the Fall Dashboard Update on December 4th. Members will now be able to check out the friends lists of fellow Xbox LIVE members right from the Dashboard. With this new feature, members can find old friends or connect with new ones within the community of more than 8 million people on Xbox LIVE around the globe and send messages and game invites, as well as compare games and Achievements.

With the prevalence of social media websites such as MySpace and FaceBook, this type of capability has largely come to be expected from consumers as a means to relate in an online community. Xbox LIVE continually seeks new ways to better serve the expectations of its members, which often result in enhancements made available for free through the bi-annual Dashboard updates.

When the Fall Dashboard update is distributed on December 4th, the new default setting on Xbox LIVE will be active enabling members to see the Friends lists of other Xbox LIVE members. Members who would like to keep their friends list private can take the following steps to change their settings beginning today:

Log in to http://www.xbox.com/fof and select one of the three options available for your Gamertag:

- Everyone (only available to members 18 and older)
- Friends only (available to members 13 and older)
- Blocked (available to all members, and automatic for anyone under the age of 13)

Stay tuned for more information about the Xbox 360 Dashboard Update later this month.

Halo 3 Allegedly Crashes Consoles

Microsoft is being sued by consumers who are upset about the Halo 3 video game frying while they're playing it on the Xbox. Heaven help us!

TMZ obtained a class action lawsuit filed in Federal Court, which claims Halo 3 is causing major problems when played by people using Xbox systems. Randy Nunez alleges that when he used the nearly $60 game on Xbox it would "crash, freeze, or lock up" while running.

According to the suit, Microsoft and Bungie, the company who makes Halo 3, raked in close to $300 million in the first week. Nerds!

The class action suit seeks over $5 million in damages.

Can Xbox 360 and PS3 Capitalize on Wii's Woes?

Can Xbox 360 and PS3 Capitalize on Wii's Woes?
Published by: wes213 on Monday, November 26, 2007
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,

Given the publicity surrounding Nintendo's supply problems with the Wii, it is not surprising that Nintendo's competitors -- Sony and Microsoft -- are trying to take advantage of the Wii's woes in the weeks leading up to the holidays.

Sony has been the most aggressive by far, slashing the prices of PlayStation 3 and its developer kit.

The smoke has barely cleared from the Nintendo Wii's first birthday candles, and already the next big challenge is looming: the 2007 holiday season. For Nintendo, the critical question is whether the revolutionary gaming platform will continue to be a consumer favorite or a lingering manufacturing hangover will stifle sales.

According to industry analyst Video Game Chartz, it was a stellar first year for the Wii, which passed the PS3 in total worldwide sales at Thanksgiving last year, and then passed the Xbox 360 at the end this past summer. VG Chartz compiles its figures by sampling sales data from retailers around the globe.

The Xbox 360 has fared better in head-to-head sales in the U.S. VG Chartz reported that as of this week, Microsoft has sold nearly 8.5 million Xbox 360 consoles in the past year, compared to just over 6 million Wiis and 2.3 million PS3s.

A Wii Manufacturing Problem

Given the robust sales and continued demand for the Wii, the upcoming holiday season should be a good one for Nintendo, but the company has been hampered by manufacturing delays.

"Here's the good news," Roger Fils-Aime, the president of Nintendo America, said in an interview with the San Jose Mercury News. "The good news is we're flowing more and more product into the marketplace, and the amount of Wii hardware that will be in North American stores will be unprecedented. Substantially more than the launch, substantially more than has been seen to date."
