With the help from only a few admins on 360-hq.Com we are also getting some recognition from xbox 360 game developers because they can see the effort we are putting in to bring our members the most up-to-date and in depth info on their xbox 360 entertainment system and their online gaming experience.
Our latest improvements include:
- Xbox 360 Games Management (My Games, My Wishlists, Now Playing)

Much more to come too.. If your interested in who owns a particular game too you can just click on the MEMBERS link and it will show who owns the game.. This way its easy to find guys on HQ to play with.
I'd like to particularly give a shoutout to Sjohn and Hellblazer55 for doing more then enough to bring our members the latest content on the 360, xbox or pc.. I too work on adding content daily but also have many hrs of coding to get to.. lol.. So thanks to sjohn and hellblazer so much for keeping things up-to-date.
Ofcourse all the other admins are doing a great job in their own sections but sjohn and hellblazer have really been showing their stuff most recently.. Check out sjohns table tennis preview for instance here
Now we have the new profile area's working id love to see you all adding games to your gameslist, wishlists and now playing lists..
In the end the whole system will work to benefit all of us.
I have plans for so much stuff and still have so many little bugs here and there to fix but am extremely happy with my progress over the last 4 months...
We have 360 games, achievements, screenshots, reviews, cheats and downloads.. Hopefully we will also soon have the option of streaming the latest game previews too..
At 360-Hq we DO NOT support piracy at all. On the other hand we will be sharing and endorsing homebrew like emulators, XBMC etc etc.. Thats why HQ was made..

Bill Brownell, Director of US Games Channel Marketing, has released info about tonight's episode of The Apprentice, featuring the Xbox 360.
A few months ago, Wal-Mart and Xbox teamed up and provided a task for an episode of the Apprentice Season 5 that will appear tonight (May 15, 9PM ET/PT) on NBC.
Gold Rush and Synergy compete to create the most compelling in-store interactive display that highlights the digital entertainment lifestyle features of Xbox 360. Contestants have 24 hours to use any of Wal-Mart product assortments to create a retail interactive display that demonstrates the breadth of the Xbox 360 capabilities.
J Allard, along with Wal-Mart's Steven Quinn, Sr. VP of Marketing, presents the tasks to the teams and I'm told you will be amazed by team Synergy and team Gold Rush's creativity as they set up Xbox 360 experiences in the stores.
Wal-Mart will be showcasing the Xbox 360 experience in the electronics department in 1,500 stores. Wal-mart will also be distributing Xbox 360 demo disks that feature extra Apprentice footage, movie trailers, and game trailers. You can find the disks in the Electronics department or on Walmart.com.
As people already know Capcom released a demo of this highly anticipated Sci-fi Action Shooter Lost Planet during E3, the demo weighs in at 305.39 MB and is available on the Xbox Live Marketplace. I’ve had a lot of hands on time with the demo and I must say it's coming together quite nicely.
The graphic detail in this game is some of most sharp and fluid you can find on the Xbox 360 to date, and for a demo it sure runs very smooth in the frame rate department. The demo showed off several weapons like a rocket launcher, shotgun, and a fully functional mech you can control. The demo levels showcased two levels and two boss characters, both of which featured a nice unique challenge that made me feel like I was playing a horror version of Zelda.
Call of Duty 2 fans, two new map packs are now available on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
The Skirmish Map Pack costs 400 Microsoft Points and is 127.03 MB in size. It contains two all-new multiplayer maps, which can be used for online, split-screen, and system-link play.
The first map is Kalach, Russia - a multi-level war zone with twisting passageways perfect for sniper attacks. The other map is Beaumont-Hague, France, which features open fields for rushes and clustered buildings for ambush manuevers.
If you're not in a Microsoft Point spending mood, try the Call of Duty 2: Bonus Map Pack. It's free and uses 124.78 MB. It contains Wallendar, Germany is perfect for squad-based combat, including hidden paths, rubble, high-cover areas. It's war torn cityscape embodies World War II urban warfare. And Vossenack, Germany challenges you with limited cover and varied terrain.
Man, I'm ready to spend some hard-earned Microsoft Points!
Rumor has it that one of PS3's games was running on a 360 during E3; but here's something that's not a rumor: a PC MMO was playable on an Xbox 360 at E3. Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, the upcoming MMO for PCs from Mythic Entertainment, was actually running on Xbox 360 hardware. According to Gamespot, Mythic Entertainment actually told them about this even though a 360 version of the game has not been formally announced. Here is what they had to say:
Visitors to the booth are being invited to get hands-on with the upcoming massively multiplayer online game, where they can check out one of the game's areas on live servers and play alongside members of the development team who are playing from the company's Virginia headquarters. What none of these players have realized, though, is that one of the "green-skins" questing alongside them is being controlled by a player not armed with a mouse and keyboard, but with a wireless Xbox 360 controller. That player is in a closely guarded room to the rear of Mythic's booth.
We had an opportunity to see the PC and Xbox 360 versions of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning running alongside each other, and although the console demo lacked any kind of user interface, its widescreen, high-definition visuals were practically indistinguishable from those on the PC. Furthermore, the character on the Xbox 360 was interacting with PC players, and if it wasn't for the fact that one of the games was running on a huge TV rather than a monitor, it would be difficult to tell them apart.
Mythic says the work done optimizing Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning for the Xbox 360 made the development team realize that they could use similar techniques in the PC game. So what started out as an experiment to get an MMO game running on a console has actually resulted in some improvements for the PC version.
Hopefully a 360 version of the MMORPG will be made so gamers will be able to have more options in the genre other than just Final Fantasy XI. We will make sure to keep you informed when more news surfaces for Warhammer Online.
EA's NCAA Football 07 for the Xbox 360 has all new features that will give gamers the opportunity to feel the real thrill of participating in a football match especially with the amazing graphics the 360 provides.
