Wii to feature in South Park

Episode 12 of south park showed us how Cartman couldn't wait for the Wii, so much so he froze him self and landed in the year 2546, 500 years in the future.

now part 2 of the episode shows on Comedy central on Wednesday in America (check your local listings) and the download will appear here* not long afterwards. what will happen to Cartman, will he get to play with a  Wii or not we will see.

Gears of war demo ???

while surfing the Internet, at major nelsons blog a comment showed that the UK version of xbox.com was showing as part of a banner a gears of war demo.

http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/live/marketplace/gamecontent.htm

now if this is true it would be going back on what they said, when saying there would be no prerelease demo.

of course this could be a mix up, to be honest we don't know.

TGS ,X06 announcements and my new favorite game

Right to start off at TGS Microsoft saved most of there big announcements of X06 but there were still one real big announcement in that the xbox will be able to display 1080p the last real advantage that Sony`S Ps3 had. But X06 was a totally different story I am going to list them:

• A bunch of exclusives such as Splinter cell double agent
• The HD-DVD drive to cost £129.99 in the UK and $199 in the USA
• Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh making a new halo game
• speaking of halo, ensemblem studios the guys behind Age of empires are making  a Halo RTS for the xbox 360 (although it may be on the PC I have seen conflicting reports)
• Guitar hero 2 at the show
• Doom on XBLA for 800 MP

and other stuff which I cant remember

 

and now for my new favorite game, DEFCON.

this game is based the film wargames and basically its all out thermonuclear war its very simple to play only 60mb well worth your money, its available from STEAM or there website DEFCON site

Bringing it Home, from X'06 Style

I just saw this and wanted to post it before I jump on the plane for Tokyo:
After the success of the ‘Bringing it home’ campaign at E3 earlier this year…it’s back for TGS and X’06! Of course that means I’ll be posting details each day as I find out what is headed for Marketplace.
I normally don’t like to copy/paste press releases, but I thought you’d like to get the news the moment it came out. Below are the details from the official press release.
