By now everyone has already seen and heard about the life size statue of Noble team from Halo: Reach. Well, I had the opportunity to see it up close in person. It’s HUGE — that’s what she said. Here is a little video and some photos for you all to enjoy.

Back To The Future Game Seems Promising

Kreyg — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:15:10 +0000

A while back, Telltale games announced that they would be working on a Back To The Future game. The game will be based off the movie and will have the “likeness” of Michael J Fox and Christopher Llyod as Marty McFly and good old Doc Brown.

While details are still scarce at the moment, the game will take place in the movie’s setting of Hill Valley and will include the DeLorean — but how could it not?! Christopher Llyod will be loaning his voice for his character but there is no word as to if Michael J Fox will reprise his role as Marty McFly.

Other characters from the movies will make appearances in the game, but no word on who those characters will be. Bob Gale, the original screen writer for the movies will also be helping out with the game. This should help keep things authentic.

I guess we’ll have to see what we can get out of Telltale games at PAX this year. If you have any questions for Telltale games, leave them in a comment below, we have some time with them at PAX and I would love to ask them some of the questions that you guys have.

The most recent DLC for Mass Effect 2 has you as Commander Shepard team up with Liara T’Soni to finally confront the one they call the Shadow Broker. This latest trailer shows off a bit of the DLC. If you’re a Mass Effect fan, then you’ll probably want to pick this up.

It should help add a bit more value to the game and will expand the Mass Effect universes’ story.

Why You’ll Pay For Gold No Matter What

Earlier this week it was announced that Xbox Live will receive a price increase later this year. It left a lot of people upset, while others just didn’t mind at all. Whatever the case, the folks over at Penny-Arcade made a comic explaining why you’ll pay for Xbox Live no matter what.

New Mortal Kombat Trailer Shows Shadow Fighting

Kreyg — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:45:05 +0000

No, it’s not Noob Saibot, but some very recognizable Mortal Kombat character shadows doing some fighting. You get a nice glimpse at Scorpion at one point and boy does he looks great. Mortal Kombat is set to hit stores next year, but this is all we get until then. Hopefully some more gameplay trailers will be released in the future.

Kinect Beta Unit Already Listed On Ebay

Kreyg — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:00:00 +0000

Yesterday, Kinect beta testers were greeted with a console dashboard update as well as the unreleased Xbox 360 Kinect sensor. The goal was to help Microsoft test out Kinect over the next few months before it’s release in November. Well, someone decided instead of helping, they would try to make a quick buck.

By doing this, the seller breaks his NDA (non-disclosure act) with Microsoft, and that probably doesn’t make them too happy. The seller listed the auction for the Kinect unit, and an Xbox 360 Elite. The starting bid was $600 with a buy it now price of $1200. The auction started yesterday and bidding has already ended. It had zero bids placed on it, so it’s unclear if Ebay ended the auction or the seller did himself.

I would hope that Microsoft or Ebay had a hand in ending the auction, but one can only wonder what was running through this guy’s head. Is the quest for a quick buck that tempting?

Tired of the controller you have now? Hate that D-Pad for fighting games like Street Fighter IV? Well, have no fear everybody, Microsoft has designed a new controller for everybody to enjoy. One of the most notable features of this new controller is the new and improved D-pad. It should make playing some of those arcade and fighting games a lot easier.

The controller itself hasn’t really changed in it’s design, but the thumbsticks and buttons offer a more “concave” design for added comfort. The D-Pad can “transform” with a simple twist. Overall the controller looks like it will offer gamers more comfort than anything else. The new controllers will only be available with the play and charge kit and will go on sale November 9th for $64.99.

They will be on display at PAX Prime, so you can bet I’ll try to get my hands on one.
