COD 4 Trailer

This game looks like it could be pretty f*cking sick! I thought it looked so good I jizzed all over myself! As you can see, at the end of the vid there is an official web page at www.charlieoscardelta.com, where you can view an extended and uncut trailer. Thanks 'bot.

EndWar Viral Videos [updated]

Alright, by now most of us have seen the viral site at www.rev64.com. What some of you haven't seen is the new videos hidden on the site. One consists of a shaky cam following a soldier. The other shows an F-22 like jet dropping a bomb onto a city and or town. To access the videos, go to the site, use passcode "s9p1z6" to get in, and listen to the nice lady describe the events that lead to WWIII. Afterwards you'll see two links that read "REGISTER" and "FORUM". Those links lead to their respective content, but what you might have missed are the two dots in the lower left hand corner. Click those dots and they bring up the before mentioned videos. This is getting kind of exciting, and I can't wait to see what's next.

[edit] Like the fucktard that I am; I forgot to give the passcode to the site. It's "s9p1z6". Added passcode to story.

Ubisoft Announces Tom Clancy's EndWar

Today Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers, announced that it is creating Tom Clancy's EndWar, a new brand in the Tom Clancy series of video games. Led by strategy veteran and Ubisoft creative director Michael de Plater, Tom Clancy's EndWar is being developed by a world-class team at Ubisoft's Shanghai studio whose members have experience developing Ubisoft's hit franchises including Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. Tom Clancy's EndWar is scheduled for release on next-generation consoles in fiscal year 2007/2008.

Set on the battlefields of World War III , Tom Clancy's EndWar will push the envelope of technology, showcasing artificial intelligence, graphics, physics and animations that were not possible prior to the launch of the new hardware systems. Tom Clancy's EndWar has been built from the ground up as a revolutionary war strategy game solely for next-generation consoles.

"Our development teams are invigorated to be creating the first 100 percent next-generation Tom Clancy brand," said Serge Hascoët, chief creative officer at Ubisoft. "Our success with Tom Clancy franchises is unparalleled in the next-generation and Tom Clancy's EndWar will be a marvelous addition to the already critically acclaimed library of games. A strategy game like no other, EndWar will allow gamers to lead their own armies against hundreds of others online in real global locations on the massive battlefields of World War III."

Ubisoft's Tom Clancy video games are consistently among the best-selling and most critically-acclaimed video game series in the industry. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon games have collectively sold more than 45 million units worldwide to date. In 2006, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas was named Best First Person Action Game of the Year by the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter took home the Best Video Game of the Year award from the prestigious BAFTA awards.

Tom Clancy's EndWar is featured in a world-exclusive first look in the June issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, available on newsstands in North America on May 8, 2007.

Halo 3 Beta video leaked.

[edit] The video has been dropped by Youtube, so hopefully you viewed it before it was dropped. If not you can catch it here from GameTrailers.com. Hurry! Before it's gone.

As you can probably tell the map appears to be a recreation of Zanzibar called Last Resort. In the vid you can see the new shield in action, among other cool shit. Nothing groundbreaking, but it does look pretty good. What do you think?

120GB 360 HDD worth only $100

From: Xbox360 Fanboy

Perhaps you've heard of the brand new, super fancy Xbox 360 Elite. You know, it's black, has HDMI and a 120GB hard drive, and it's super cool. You may have heard that the Elite has been utterly gutted, all of its vitals exposed to the world. It just so happens the 120GB hard drive was part of this dismantling process. With the drive cracked open and exposed, we can finally see the wondrous, ultra high-tech hard drive that justifies Microsoft's $179 price tag. Or can we?

It turns out that the drive inside the plastic case is in fact a Fujitsu MHW2120BH 2.5" laptop drive. Shindakun.net did some Google searching and discovered that these drives generally cost around $100. Not long ago, Aaron Greenberg stated that the drive in the Xbox 360 is comparable to a self-powered external hard drive for a PC. Alright, so there must be some sort of additional work that justifies an $80 increase above retail, right? The thing is, according to Shindakun, the 360 drive isn't self powered. You have to shut down the console to install it, because it's just an SATA drive with a proprietary connector. So, where does the extra cost come from? The plastic casing isn't that nice. Granted, there are R&D costs to consider, but $80 extra per unit seems a little steep. Without a direct explanation of the costs from Microsoft, we can make only one conclusion: we're getting ripped off.

Buyer beware.

Apple (or a rogue programmer) added Dashboard Widget Anti-War message

I thought this story was interesting. Click the read more link to a.... Read more.

We were intrigued by the idea that perhaps this line of text was somehow added by Apple (or a rogue programmer) who felt the need to express their personal beliefs. So in one of our very rare pieces of investigational reporting, we wrote to Oxford University Press to get their take on this. Three weeks later, we have our response.
