Jet Set Radioooo!
The Dreamcast classic in HD. I’m buying this day 1.
Beyond Good & Evil HD - Launch Trailer
One of my fav games in years. It’s only $10 for this HD re-release, so if you have an Xbox 360 you have no excuse not to buy it. Don’t let the talking pig turn you off to it, he’s actually quite cool. It plays very much like the 3D Zelda games, and has a surprisingly dark conspiracy story.
If this game sells well it will give Ubisoft incentive to finally get serious about the sequel they announced with a teaser trailer years ago. Some footage was leaked awhile back of what the 2nd game might be like.. The company has been really cagey about if the game is still in development or not ever since. So I hope Beyond Good & Evil HD does well for them. I’m going to buy it again too.
My Halo Reach Rendered Video
A video I made of a sword kill spree I did a while ago online. I don’t have a Bungie Pro account, but for some reason they rendered it for free. I thought it was kinda cool.
Fable III co-op video.
Finally real co-op in Fable III instead of the broken joke that was in Fable II. This looks super fun.
Ubisoft announces Beyond Good and Evil HD
Sadly it’s not BG&E 2, but an HD rerelease of the 2003 original (For Xbox, PS2, GameCube, and PC: Watch the trailer).
It could be in anticipation of a major announcement about the sequel that was originally teased in 2008 and has since been rumored canceled on and off for the past year or two because of a total media blackout. This footage leaked back around E3 2009 and was never shown officially.
“BG&E” is often called a “Zelda clone that is better than Zelda”. I’m sure Zelda fanboys would disagree, but it’s one of the great games that you just shouldn’t miss-out on. Thankfully this already beautiful game is being rereleased in HD for download on Xbox Live and PSN sometime in 2011 so you can check it out if you missed it the first time.
Hopefully a new HD trailer will be out soon, I’ll be sure to post it.
Xbox Live price increase for features we don’t even want
Here’s part of their email informing subscribers of the price increase:
“This holiday, Xbox LIVE is adding new Gold features, including ESPN and Video Kinect, with Hulu Plus coming on Xbox LIVE in 2011.”
“Besides launching the new features and titles, we will also be increasing the price of Gold membership on November 1, 2010.”
I already don’t use their crappy Twitter, Facebook, and Last.fm implementations. I HATE ESPN, don’t have any plans to buy a Kinect, and won’t ever subscribe for Hulu Plus on top of Xbox Live and Netflix. Microsoft is bankrolling their stupid new features by forcing a price increase on every Xbox Live subscriber! Why not make all the jocks who actually care pay for ESPN instead?
The worst part is that we’ll just take it because of games like Halo Reach that are totally awesome online and aren’t available on any other platform…
I’ve gladly been paying for Xbox Live since it launched day 1 on the original Xbox, why not offer some sort of customer loyalty program?! But no, that’d be too pro-consumer.
This is the kind of dick move that will make people think twice about owning an Xbox now or in the future. If this kind of thing becomes a trend, I doubt I’ll be as loyal as I have in the past.
Buy this game! Chime on Xbox Live Arcade. It’s only 400 ms points ($5 well spent) and 60% of the proceeds go to charities. Read more on Wired.
PS3 Trophy’s are finally embeddable. They still don’t have the bragging rights that Xbox gamer score does.
