Xbox Live members now have the opportunity to save the world from invading aliens in “Defender”, the classic coin-op space-shooter from Midway. “Defender” will be available this evening (November 15) on Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360.
It’s the future, and the galaxy has been invaded by hostile alien forces. Attacking in countless swarms, the aliens decimate all planets they encounter. Those who survive the initial invasions are harvested to serve the alien invaders. Mankind's only hope lies in the “Defender.” Blast away at alien ships while ensuring the safety of all abducted humans by safely depositing them on the planet’s surface.
The Xbox Live Arcade game includes two versions of Defender. For arcade purists, the classic game remains in its original, untouched form and a graphically enhanced version of the game is also available in the download package.
“Defender” is available worldwide for 400 Microsoft Points.
GAME FEATURES:
- Classic and enhanced modes: Choose between playing this arcade classic in its original form or with a visual facelift.
- Multiplayer mayhem: Gamers pit their skills against rivals or team up with friends.
- Local 2-player versus mode: Each player takes turns to play and compete.

Infinity Ward’s Rob Bowling AKA fourzerotwo has set a play date for all the guys and girls out there that need the 10th Prestige and they make it sound like there is no way you wont be able to get it so take out COD5 and get ready for some double XP.
FourZeroTwo's blog reads: Time to finally finish getting to 10th Prestige! I sent out the call a week or so ago asking who would be down for a Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare all-nighter on the last weekend of Feb. and you guys answered the call. So many responded to the Twitter posting in fact, that we decided to make it an even bigger deal. So here’s the plan.
Starting Tuesday Feb. 24th, the Variety Map Pack will become %50 off for those of you who still need to pick it up, leading up to the promotion, I’ll also be giving out tokens to download it for free on Twitter. When the last weekend of Feb. hits, starting Friday Feb. 27th and going until Monday morning, we’ll be flipping the ol’ mighty Double XP switch one more time!
That’s not all though, I plan on pulling an All-nighter on Friday the 27th in my attempt to finally reach Level 55 10th Prestige, and I want you guys to help get me there. To do that, we’ll be adding a new playlist to the rotation. The HARDCORE HEADQUARTERS playlist will be added on Friday 27th along with Double XP for the most XP heavy sessions you will ever see. Who’s down for a little Hardcore Headquarters on Shipment?! Carnage will ensue.
The 50% off Map Pack, Hardcore Headquarters playlist and Double XP includes Xbox Live and Playstation Network!
Anyone and everyone can participate, no sign-up, no anything. Just pop in the game on Friday the 27th and play. We’ll handle the rest.
I don’t know, I have a gut feeling that 10th Prestige is a good place to be…
A new video has surfaced on youtube which definately looks to be a recording of the in-famous"Xbox Live Arcade - Goldeneye 007" game running on a Xbox 360 Dev Kit. Check it out for yourself.
This video looks to be real since I and many friends have checked out the video and the faces are different from the original N64 version. We also made note that there is one guy in the game which has glasses on now, and many other areas of the game area slightly different. Check out the differences between this video and the an original N64 video of the same stage. We will post more pics as we find them.
We already know that the game has officially been cancelled but after seeing this video which is probably the full game for XBLA we are very confident that they wouldnt have wasted so many resources if they were never going to release it.
The game is running at a constant 60fps (as shown in the video) and the gun detail is so much different. We have yet to confirm if its a fanboy emulating it on his pc or not but from the comments left on the site most seem to believe it's not real.
It definately real.. It's just a matter of time now!
Xbox 360 Goldeneye???

We have even gone a little more in depth and taken a screenshot from a original N64 video of the same stage showing james bond.. The new xbox 360 video or newer footage shows cargo pants pockets and alot more detail in the environment and in bond himself.
"Aerosmith" have only just released their first Guitar Hero game and a "Metallica" version dubbed "Guitar Hero: Metallica" is now in the works and due out within the next year, are the Gunners going to be coming next to Guitar Hero??? If not who's next??
Guns N' Roses, The Eagles, Van Halen and Steely Dan amongst various other artists already have deals in the works with either Guitar Hero or Rock Band or both of these companies so who will be the next to sign for a full title??
According to industry tracker NPD Group Inc., Guitar Hero was the top-selling videogame franchise in dollar terms in the U.S in 2007 with $820 million in sales, so you can bet the music industry will be getting involved any way they can.
Overall Guitar Hero, Rock Band and the upcoming new franchises are another great method for all artists to promote their music and let people learn the basics of what it really takes to play a musical instrument while enoying listening to their favorite bands. Practice, practice, practice.
What other famous bands are you looking forward to playing???

"It's the highest compliment to the team and our fans to have a special themed Xbox 360 console...The precision and detail that's been put into the console captures the intensity and feel of 'Modern Warfare 2.' We can't wait for our community and fans around the world to see for themselves on Nov. 10Indeed, as the newly-minted Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360 console will ship with a 250GB Hard Drive, two Xbox 360 Wireless Controllers, as well as an Xbox 360 Headset and a Standard Edition copy of "Modern Warfare 2" for $399.99.
A few multiplayer details are also being revealed. What we have so far is that 4 kills nets you a care package (an ammo and health drop via heli), 5 kills and you receive the option to use a predator missile, 7 kills enables the attack helicopter, etc. Also new to the series is ‘Tactical Insertion Equipment’ which allows you to place a mark where you will respawn. Word has also been given on some new perks including Scavenger (think looting but in an online FPS), Hardline (1 less kill is required for kill streak rewards), and Copycat (the ability to steal a class).
Neither Infinity Ward nor Microsoft has said when the console should reach stores. Microsoft also hasn't confirmed whether it will have any other 250GB versions, though the console maker has gradually been reserving the $399 price point for more and more limited editions, such as the discontinued Resident Evil 5 120GB pack.
