Xbox 360 Gears Of War Mod Looks Radical!

July 31st, 2008

At first sight, it gives me the idea of some old evil scrollbook like the ones from Tales of the Crypt. The Gears of War Mod of the Xbox 360 is clearly a great of piece of modwork. Moddded by DFWMonkie, this mod certainly strikes the gamer’s eye.

The mod called the Gears 360 has the logo of the Gears of War that glows when the console is powered on. Lots of hardwork on this baby. The sculpture has been made from generous amounts of Bondo and a great paintjob.  There is also a matching controller for this.

Microsoft adds two new color codes for the Xbox 360 Controller

July 15th, 2008

At last, you can see some colorful controllers from now on. Not that there aren’t any, but this one is for the record. Microsoft has planned to do a paintjob to its controllers with bright red and green. If you ask me, the green one looks slimy.

Xbox 360 ‘Lips’ on the camera

July 12th, 2008

Remember an announcement made when Microsoft was planning to build a karaoke game called Lips, well the Lips microphone has made a cameo appearance. Gamekyo have reportedly got the snaps and here’s how they look:

There is even a box art and beleive me, it couldn’t get any worse. The microphone itself is a mystery, the glowing LEDs look kind of real but at the sametime look kind of photoshopped (then again, I am not an expert in photography). What do you guys reckon? The LEDs jump according to your voice rhythm and pitch. The microphone is expected to make an appearance in the coming E3.

Rumor: DirectX 11 may be announced this month

July 10th, 2008

The one thing I hate about PC gaming is the fact that you have to keep fumbling around for the latest graphics cards to fit the latest games in. DirectX 10 announcement meant a new PhysX as well as a graphics card. Its almost like a bazooka just went through your pocket. Adding to that misery, rumors about DirectX 11 have surfaced.

No Newton for the Xbox 360

May 15th, 2008

Man, this is seriously going out of proportions. I think Microsoft likes to deny anything that would make them a clown in front of other people (companies). More than a month ago, speculations about a wiimote lookalike for the Xbox 360 was hot on the loose and some even called it as Newton (no offense there,  Isaac ). But unfortunately (and as usual) Microsoft has denied any projects of such sort.

Microsoft famous for its ‘wait and see’ method could have gained some momentum with its 360 sales if the above project had been carried on.

Xbox 360 slim version in 2009 ?

May 13th, 2008

First the Xbox 360 Blu ray and now this. After the recent announcement of Jasper 65nm as the successor to the current Falcon 65 nm CPU for the Xbox 360, there is wide speculation about the release of Xbox 540 in the year 2009. The difference between the Falcon 360s and the Jasper 360s would be that the GPU size in Jasper is smaller compared to Falcon, which brings us back to the topic : Will this lead to slimmer Xbox 360s?
