Fable II Flaws?

Fable II

Kotaku has posted that they have been receiving reports and so has the Lionhead forums about potential freezing problems that are found in Fable II.  Some have speculated that it might have to do with the co-op patch, but it could be noted that this could be Xbox 360 hardware problems or anything other than an actual problem with the game.

Have you had any problems?  Let us know!  We will keep you updated as always!

Star Wars: The Old Republic

Star Wars

LucasArts and BioWare have announced a new MMORPG based around the KOTOR universe.  Dubbed Star Wars: The Old Republic, the game is said to be very ’story-based,’ something that they said not very many MMORPGs can atest.  They are also considering putting it onto the consoles.

Right now the only things that are really known are theat you will have a companion character (Fable’s dog?), will have the same light and dark ideas, and will contain different cutscenes/stories depending on what your character is and how they act in the world.  Oh, and they said they are not doing the “kill 18 swamprats and bring their hides back” quests!  My dreams are answered!

This looks to be a promising venture if it pans out like they say, and we will keep you up to date with information!

More Penny Arcade Adventures Next Week

Penny Arcade 1

It seems that just as the PS3 is getting the first episode, the bomb drops letting us know that the Linux, Mac, PC, and XBLA platforms are getting the second episode next week for $14.95 or 1200 MS points!  This new adventure is said to add 6-10 hours of game play.  If you were a fan of the first like us (and who would not be), then there should be no hesitation to support Penny Arcade and have a good time playing their game.  It is even cheaper this time as well!

Microsoft Says Lips is a Platform, Track List Released

Lips 1 Small

Microsoft Game Studio’s Director of Design Chris Esaki has recently said in an interview with 1up that the game Lips is a platform in the same vein as Rock Band.  In his words this will include an aggressive DLC strategy as well.

They have also announced the track list that can be found in 1up’s article as well as the first mini-games.  Esaki also explained the reason they went after the publisher iNiS was partly for the interesting mini-games.

I do not know how this game will stack up against its competitors just yet, but the games comes with two wireless motion-sensitive microphones for 70 bucks.  It at least has an interesting tracklist with the option to add my own music (though not fully functional at launch)!

Microsoft Aims To Silence Trash Talking

0 commentsFiled Under

Ars Technica is reporting that Microsoft filed for a patent a while back for a real-time censoring of audio-streams.  Yes that’s right trash talkers, this could mean that all those f-bombs you’re dropping while playing online could be a thing of the past.

I’m not sure if I’m too happy about this, I mean really if I want to dish out a few obscene words shouldn’t I be able to?  The real issue they should be dealing with is the fact that 10 year olds are out there playing mature rated games because Mommy just couldn’t say no to her little sweetheart.

Gears of War 2 Cover

With Gears of War 2 still a few weeks away from the official launch date, November 7, 2008, the software pirates have come out in full force.  It is being reported that the full Gears of War 2 game has been duped and uploaded to various warez sites.  With a whopping size of 6.76Gb, these pesky game pirates have split the file into 73 seperate RAR files.

Now in case you are getting a bit too eager and wanting a copy of this for yourself, keep in mind that copied games only work on modified Xbox 360 systems.

With the holidays coming up I’m pretty sure that Gears of War 2 is going to be on everyone’s wish list.  I know for a fact it will be on ours!  I’m just hoping that this round of bloodshed lasts a bit longer than the original.  As always Epic Games doesn’t disappoint in the graphic department that’s for sure.

Here’s a handful of screenshots from Gears of War 2 multiplayer and as you can see the carnage is as beautiful as ever!
