Alright, I know, this site isn't about everything anymore, it's about deals and such, but since I run the site, well, we're having a video today.

Hitler's Ultimate Downfall... catch the video after the break and then leave me some hate-filled comments.

#Alien Hominid, #XBLA, #Xbox 360, #Video Games

I love Alien Hominid. It's a great, fast paced, action-y side-sscrolling shooter. One of those quirky pick-up-and-play titles. Originally a flash game at newgrounds.com, the plot outline of the game, of an alien being hunted by the FBI, is one as old as time itself (or perhaps 1982). Whatever the case, it's good, clean (and a little twisted) fun the whole family can enjoy this coming week on Xbox Live Arcade.
In in case you've never seen AH, there's a 4 and a half minute video after the break.

So, about a month late, I hear from a friend of mine that MS was thinking of installing a BD player in their Xbox 360 gaming console. I found this very interesting, since HD-DVD, last I heard, was being fully supported by Microsoft. So I did some legwork, and found out the story broke about a month ago, and that the story was a completely different one as well.
It seems Peter Moore had previously said this:

Microsoft would consider adding an external Blu-ray drive to the Xbox 360 in the future, should the right market conditions emerge. According to Peter Moore, corporate VP in charge of fun stuff at Microsoft, those conditions would be the emergence of Blu-ray as the clear winner in the next-generation optical disc format battles.

This seems pretty clear that what he was saying was that SHOULD HD-DVD not be the victor in this new-fangled format war, MS would consider BD. Which I'm sure would be at a point where HD-DVD was pretty much non-existent, which also seems to be not anytime soon at all.
Of course everyone the world over took this to mean MS had given up and that the 360 would have BD drives in them the following week. So MS issued this:

It is important to understand the context in which that statement was made. Microsoft firmly stands behind the HD-DVD format as the best choice for our consumers. As we've said before, we're confident that HD-DVD will bring the excitement of high definition movies to the consumer faster and at a greater value. We believe that consumers have signalled [sic] what format they want to enjoy high definition DVD and we're going to follow them down that path.

So, it seems to me that what MS said was pretty much a logical statement with no real bearing on the future, as we don't know where that will lead us. I for one would like to see BD and HD-DVD coexist (or both die off and a very superior format arise), but it seems as though the studios are really pushing for one or the other.
Anyone here have a preferred format? If you could design the next-gen media, what features would you include?

#Burger King, #Video Games, #Xbox 360, #Cheap

According to a tipster at Kotaku, the ridiculously bad (yet so weird they're cool) 360 games at Burger King have dropped from $4.99 to 99 cents. Verification comes in the form of a photograph, although I haven't seen for myself yet, and not having a 360 might make this a tough impulse buy.

#360voice, #Xbox 360

Have you ever wondered what your Xbox 360 would do if it had as much free time as you or I? Well apparently Xbox 360's are no cooler than us because they like to blog too! The free service provided by 360voice.com allows you to sign up for an account so that your 360 can blog about how awesome you really are (finally someone other than myself acknowledges my awesomeness, even if it is a non-sentient machine)!
This service seems like it would be especially useful for keeping track of what your friends (dang! now I need friends!) are doing on their 360's and possibly hooking up with other players with similar gaming interests.
