More Mass Effect DLC a possibility

The Solid Link — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 02:52:31 GMT

Speaking to MTV's Multiplayer, BioWare's Greg Zeschuk came tantalizingly close to confirming more DLC for Mass Effect. While Zeschuk didn't go so far as to confirm that more DLC is on the way, he did say that Bioware is "talking about" it and that BioWare wants gamers to "always have something ... to try." We're sure that Mass Effect fans would agree, especially considering they've had nothing new to explore since the "Bring Down the Sky" DLC released in March. Unfortunately, ...

Master Chief crash lands into Fable 2

The Solid Link — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 02:46:54 GMT

If you noticed in the details to Fable 2's Collector's Edition, there was an "Otherworldly Bonus" for in-game content. Packaged with the announcement were screenshots, including one conspicuously labeled "Fable2_MasterChief.jpg." Yep, that's not just a coincidence, you're looking at a faux-medieval variant of the Halo superstar. (Halo 3 ending spoiler alert) I guess we know what universe he crash-landed in. Link

GoldenEye XBLA stuck in 'no man's land'

The Solid Link — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 01:57:24 GMT

Having foiled countless doomsday devices, monologuing masterminds and aesthetically pleasing assassins, James Bond has felt the bite of reality and become inextricably entangled in a web of legal nonsense. Though an Xbox Live Arcade version of the classic N64 FPS, GoldenEye, continues to make appearances both in dreams and alleged screenshots, nobody's been able to pull the game out of a web spun by numerous lawyers and license holders. "It's kind of locked in this no man's land." Link

Dell.com: $299 Xbox 360 Elite, 2 games, 2 faceplates

The Solid Link — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 01:56:28 GMT

If you're stlll Xbox 360-less and looking for a deal, then don't bother with the $299 clearance-sale 20GB Xbox 360 ... or the new $349 60GB 360 for that matter. Dell.com has the $450 Xbox 360 Elite for the low, low price of $299. But that's not all! If you act now (or, presumably, at any point between now and when they inevitably sell out) you'll also get copies of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance and Forza 2, along with two rather unseemly faceplates.

Bungie: Halo can learn from Call of Duty 4

The Solid Link — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 01:55:06 GMT

"We have a lot to learn from their success too, they did some very innovative things to keep people going and their experience-rewards system was something that we paid a lot of attention to." Is that any way to talk about your main Xbox Live competitor? Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, Bungie's Lead AI Programmer, Damian Isla, had quite a few nice things to say about Infinity Ward's ridiculously successful shooter, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Halo 3 title update to switch up ranking system

The Solid Link — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 09:35:15 GMT

Fulfilling their promise that they made last week, the Bungie crew has outlined the changes coming to Halo 3 as part of the second title update we'll be seeing release in the near future. And even though there won't be any hugely noticeable changes (a lot of the update's feature have to do with invisible back-end and behind the scenes goodness) we'll be getting a new Halo 3 experience system. Fear not though, your current Halo 3 rank and experience point total will NOT be reset, instead Bungie ...

Microsoft Avatar Creator Art

As announced at E3 (and leaked way before that), Microsoft is introducing Avatars to Xbox LIVE. Here are supposedly the first images of the Avatar creator. These screens are not from the actual Fall dashboard update, but rather, are a "image collage" put together by game site Xbox 360 Fanboy of thumbnails and artwork that will apparently be used in the creator. They should give you an idea of what Xbox LIVE Avatar making will be like � there are icons for clothing, skin color, height, ...

Why Bethesda Prefers The 360, More Fallout On The Way

The Solid Link — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 20:01:15 GMT

"If you have the PC as your lead machine you have the problem of not knowing what configurations people have, how many gigs of RAM or what graphics card they have," explained Hines. "Obviously we are more familiar with the Xbox because we are familiar and the other thing is that the Xbox is much easier to take to tech shows. We can just pop the hard-drive off the Xbox and put it on any machine which is an advantage. Taking the PC or PS3 to these things just isn't convenient." Link

One of the not-so-cosmetic changes in the fall update will be the ability to let you play your games directly from the hard disk. The new feature will let users install all of the game content directly onto the hard drive to improve game load times. Microsoft reports that it has seen a 30 percent improvement in load times in internal testing.... Another side benefit of having games installed on the hard disk is reduced noise, since the optical disc no longer needs to spin up. However, you will ...

At the moment I have a 360 premium with the 20 gig hard drive. I hardly use the space on it but I'm considering getting a few (if not loads) of the old XBOX games. But what if I purchased an 80gig hard drive and put it onto my premium, how would I be able to transfer the contents (game saves, downloads, updates etc) from the 20 gig to the 80 gig?
