Would anyone be up for a madden 09 online league for the 360? I have it, DudleyDoWright, and Metsreyes777 all come to mind for people with 09. I don't know, just a suggestion. I think this would go on better than our 2k8 league.

Have to disagree with you on Star wars TFU Rog, I wasnt impressed at all with the demo (mind you im a huge star wars buff)

Camera sucks, lightsaber fighting is too random, and oh yeah the camera sucks.

I hope it does well, I do. I just didnt enjoy the actual lightsaber combat during the demo. I thought the ability to force push/pull things was cool, but it seemed more like a tech demo than a game demo.

Fable 2, well, now your cooking!

Just a quick question:

If you have a Wii and have Wii Sports, Guitar Hero 3, and PES 2008, would you get:

- NCAA Football 09

- Madden NFL 09

- Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09

I hear NCAAF is awful, and I'm leaning towards TW, but I want to hear from you guys on your recommendation.

Some latest news on the 360 front

COD: World at War Gets Release Date, MP Beta in October

Activision just sent out word that the latest instalment of the Call of Duty series, World at War will be available on November 11th in North America. No word on Europe just yet but chances are they should be expecting the game on the 14th, which is the following Friday.

In addition to the release date announcement, Activision have sent word that they also intend to run a multiplayer Beta period in the month of October.

The press release I have in my hand makes no indication as to what region this applies to, it just says go to http://www.callofduty.com/ to register (but I found nothing there a few minutes ago) or North Americans can pre-order their copy and get a Beta code from Gamestop.

Either way, be patient, I'm sure more info will come regarding the Beta in the coming hours/days/weeks and at least we have a new release date for the much anticipated Call of Duty: World at War now.

Look out for our preview later on today.

GTA IV DLC on Track For November

A source close to Rockstar North told Eurogamer that the GTA IV downloadable content is on track for a late November launch.

The exclusive content is said to add 10 hours gameplay on to the original game and will bring with it new achievements as well.

There is no word yet as to the price of said DLC but early rumours indicated it could be as much as 1600 MS points. But hey, for 10 hours gameplay, that's a steal... Well it is considering that's the sort of gameplay you get from a full retail game these days!

Microsoft Announces Official Xbox 360 Price Cut

Imagine if friends and families had the ability to instantly watch movies from Netflix, live out their musical fantasies through Rock Band 2 and Lips, star in their own Hollywood classics with You're in the Movies, or have the power to never miss the latest episode of Heroes— all from one device, starting at $199.

That device is Xbox 360®, and today Microsoft announced lower retail prices for the gaming and entertainment console in the United States, which offers the leading Xbox LIVE® service. Beginning September 5, Xbox 360 Arcade retails for the estimated price of $199.99, the Xbox 360 console for $299.99, and Xbox 360 Elite for $399.99.

Industry Milestone

"We are thrilled to be the first next-generation console on the market to reach $199, a price that invites everyone to enjoy Xbox 360, " said Don Mattrick, senior vice president of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. "Xbox 360 delivers amazing performance at an extraordinary value with the leading online service and best lineup of games, downloadable movies and TV shows available from a console. The majority of consumers make the decision to buy consoles once the price falls to this mark, making this an important milestone for consumers and the industry."

History shows that more than 75 percent of all console sales happen after the price falls below the $200 mark. For millions of consumers who have been waiting for the perfect time to buy an Xbox 360 console, their moment has finally arrived. At $199, Xbox 360 is the most affordable next-generation console on the market, offering something for everyone with the most dynamic, interactive entertainment experiences available.

Digital Entertainment Powerhouse

Xbox 360 Arcade plus a 12-month Xbox LIVE Gold Membership and a Netflix subscription costs $100 less than 12 months of digital cable. Xbox 360 invites everyone into a limitless world where the best games, movies and TV shows can be enjoyed live side-by-side with your personal pictures and music library.

No matter what kind of game makes your heart race, Xbox 360 has something for everyone. Music lovers can play new games such as Lips, the only singing game that offers wireless motion-sensitive microphones and the ability to sing along to your own music collection.

If you're ready to rock and roll, Guitar Hero®World Tour and Rock Band 2 let you virtually step into the shoes of your favorite bands. Enjoy family-friendly games such as the big-screen movie-maker You're in the Movies and blockbusters such as Gears of War® 2, the biggest entertainment event of this holiday season. With Xbox LIVE Arcade, downloadable games are available that the entire family can enjoy—titles such as Braid, Castle Crashers, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, PAC-MAN Championship Edition, and UNO®.

Hi-Def Movies and TV Shows

Whether you want access to streaming movies and TV shows or a library of high-definition content, it's on Xbox 360. Starting this fall, Xbox 360 is the only game console to offer instant streaming of more than 12,000 feature films and television shows from Netflix.

In addition, the Xbox LIVE Video store has more than twice as many hours of high-definition (HD) movies and TV shows than the nearest competitor. Download your favorite TV shows such as 30 Rock, The Office, and House, or even get a little old school with episodes of The A-Team. If it's movies you want, check out the latest blockbusters and the best in family films, cult classics, horror and much more, all available through Xbox LIVE and Xbox 360.

Rumour: Halo 3 to Get 750 Additional Achievement Points?

I love a new rumour, especially the ones that carry so much substance that they appear to be true. This one is straight out of PAX and is to do with our beloved Halo franchise that the Xbox has become known for.

The rumour suggests that Bungie are planning to add an additional 30 achievements to Halo 3 totaling an additional 750 points, taking the game to 79 achievements worth 1750 points ... Wow, just wow!

The rumour comes from some ninjas at PAX who stealthed some pretty juicy photos of the achievement list and whacked them up on the internet for our sheer delight. It appears as if the list will be based on the Heroic, Legendary and rumoured Mythic packs. Of course, this is just a rumour at present but if the screens are anything to go by, expect this one to come a reality soon.

Good news is, that if this is indeed true, it paves the way for GTA's DLC and other great titles to get the same sort of treatment. More achievements for the great titles out there is NEVER a bad thing, so long as it doesn't get abused.

Take a quick peek below for a couple of images and then hit the jump for a whole array of snaps.

If I am not mistaken, Tech COD5 is the game that is being developed as we speak by infinity ward (COD4) and not this game that is coming out the 11th by Treyarch. (COD3, COD2: Big Red One)

it's a pc game that has gotten little hype. No way I will play it.

I forgot to include also that Left 4 Dead's release date of Nov 4th will be pushed to the 20th to coincide with Valve's 10 year anniversary.
