Posted by G4TV on Nov 28, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Little is known about Bungie’s Destiny, but today brings new details thanks to some leaked materials that the Halo creator confirms are the real deal (via IGN). In addition to some peeks at concept art, the leak also lays out some basic facts about the game’s story.
The short version: seven centuries from now, humanity is on its last legs. One city remains on Earth and an alien ship with an unknown purpose orbits the planet and keeps it safe (somehow). Until monsters appear at the edge...
Xbox 360 Game: NASCAR The Game: Inside Line
Posted by Game News on Nov 27, 2012 | Leave a Comment
I really don’t envy the folks who are given the daunting task of developing annual installments for sports franchises. It just seems like one of those “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situations. Purists will cry foul at the slightest of diversions from the status quo, while everyone else will accuse the franchise of stagnation when they notice that much hasn’t changed. I suppose the way to go really is to make incremental improvements. And luckily, that’s...

Xbox 360 Game: Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection
Posted by Game News on Nov 21, 2012 | Leave a Comment
HD collections are all the rage these days. Most of the truly great franchises of the recent past have been brought back in high-definition glory. God of War, Devil May Cry (with the obvious exception of 2), Metal Gear Solid, and The ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection have proven that these games still matter to us. These classic franchises stand in almost comically stark contrast to the most recent recipient of an HD Collection: Dragon Ball Z Budokai, a fanservice-based fighting series...

Xbox 360 Game News: Xbox 360’s Karaoke App To Charge By The Hour
Posted by G4TV on Nov 20, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Singing at your TV may not be as much of a big deal now as it was during the Rock Band/Guitar Hero heyday, but it’s still a fun enough diversion at parties to warrant Microsoft partnering up with The Karaoke Channel for the upcoming Karaoke app. Users will have access to a library of over 8,000 sing-along tunes to bring parties to a crashing halt with.
The unusual twist here is the payment model. Karaoke isn’t an Xbox Live Arcade download that you can just buy with MS Points. In actuality,...
