If you think gamers are socially inept, and that they don’t mingle with the opposite gender even if they tried, think again. According to the official Xbox website, a couple met while playing Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Lockdown.
“I just thought you might be interested to know that Mike and I met playing Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Lockdown. Funny thing is, we hated each other at first, but somehow ended up falling in love. I was from Georgia and he was from the Bronx. On a leap of faith we met, and we have been together ever since. If it wasn’t …read more

I love the games in the Xbox 360. What’s not to love? You’ve got the best shooters like Bioshock, Gears of War, Halo 3 (despite my dislike of the previous installations, I actually like the latest one), The Orange Box, GRAW2, and I’m not even talking about the other genres yet.
What I don’t like about the 360 is its unreliability. If there was a Guinness World Record for worst failure rate, I won’t be surprised to see the 360’s image placed beside it.
What’s even more surprising is that Xbox 360 gamers are commending Microsoft for having “great customer service.” Don’t …read more

Halo 3 is just a day away, and a lot of hardcore fans in North America seem to be lining up for the game. At least, those who didn’t preorder anyway. After all, lining up for a game is the best way to show everyone you’re hardcore, right?

Wrong.

Maxconsole sure got my attention when it revealed the ultimate Halo-version case mod for the Xbox 360. Forget the Halo 3-version 360, which is really just a green-colored console. This case mod highlights a couple of MJOLNIR-wearing Master Chiefs crouched beside the 360, complete with landscape and plasma pistol.

As far as we know, Bioshock is built for two systems: the PC and Xbox 360. All this talk about the demo code is unconfirmed, so we’ll stay away from vaporware. Ever wondered what the difference is between the PC and 360 versions? Watch the video and see for yourself.

Judging from the video, nothing much. The shadows in the 360 did seem darker, but there are variables to consider, such as TV or monitor brightness and contrast, among other things. The colors do seem sharper in the 350 version, while the water effects in the PC version looks choppy in …read more

More Bioshock cash-ins coming your way: There will be an EP remixed by Moby and Oscar the Punk for Bioshock. The CD will be bundled with the GameStop and EB Canada limited edition version of Bioshock. The EP is also available as a pre-sale gift-with-purchase from retailer Game Crazy.
The three remixed tracks on the CD include Beyond the Sea, God Bless the Child and Wild Little Sisters, variations of which appear in their original format in the game.
Notice anything odd about these tunes? Aside from being vintage, I happened to notice that the songs are happy, in contrast to the …read more

So you’ve downloaded the Bioshock demo after a long wait, and played through it in a much shorter period. Now what? You play with it some more by exploiting a new bug, that’s what.
Apparently, everyone who’s gotten their hands on the demo or early Toys “R” Us copy is talking about the new Bioshock bug, which lets you explore Rapture by literally jumping out of the level and seeing the game world in a whole new light.
See how this is done after the jump.
