May 09 The Force Is Strong In This One...Had a great day today - went along to an event in London for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and shot some video for Inside Xbox. It's embargoed until July 7 so you'll have to wait a wee while for the full details, but the game's looking amazing and some of the stuff you can do by harnessing the Force is ridiculous!
I met some really nice people there too, as you can see from the photos. The Dark Side doesn't seem so bad actually...
Marketplace Update - 9/5Nice little lot of content today:
May 08 EDITED: Exclusive Ninja Gaiden II Costumes For Pre-Order and MarketplaceReady for Ninja Gaiden II? It launches in Europe on June 6, and you've got the chance to kick off your ninja adventure in an exclusive Ryu costume.
The Fiend Hayabusa costume will be available with extremely limited pre-orders from speicifc retailers in the UK, Netherlands, Italy, France and the Nordic countries. Watch Xbox.com for more details on the retailers over the coming weeks.
This costume and two other costumes will also be available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace from July. Each costume pack will inlcude five colour variation and will be priced at 200 MS Points each.
Here are the full details:
"Inspired by the Hayabusa family’s namesake, the falcon, this demonic costume mirrors the intensity of Ryu’s vengeance and fury as he fights to regain the honor of his clan. It’s almost as if he’s been transformed into a Fiend by the evil powers of the underworld with this costume – but retains all the honor of the Hayabusa Ninja Clan.
Starting July 2008, Xbox Live members worldwide will be able to download 3 unique Hayabusa costume packs for 200 MS points each to use in Ninja Gaiden II. Each costume pack is a completely new and never before seen look for our Ninja hero, Ryu Hayabusa.
The first of the 3 costume pack designs is being revealed today. This will be exclusively available in selected countries to 39,000 gamers on launch day as part of pre-sale or launch promotions with specific retail partners. Look for more details on other two designs and specific country promotions to be revealed in the coming weeks. Go to xbox.com/ng2 or your favorite retailer to pre-order Ninja Gaiden II today!"
Pretty nice eh? And don't forget that you can play the exclusive Unleash Your Wrath Ninja Gaiden II mini-game - and pre-order your copy - at Xbox.com!
And here's the first of the three Fiend Hayabusa costumes. NINJA!
EDIT: Clarified that each costume pack (200 MS Points each) will include five colour variations of the costume.
 GTAIV Stats - The World's Gone To Liberty City...The Gamerscore Blog team have just sent me through some GTAIV stats - these are US only, but it makes for some reall interesting reading!
"The Gamerscore Blog would like to congratulate Rockstar on the launch of Grand Theft Auto IV. GTA sold over 6 million units, and broke the entertainment record with over $500 million in sales.
We got some data from the US team, and we’re here to share that news with you:
Regarding Xbox LIVE:
May 07 EDITED: Marketplace Update - 7/5Today's XBLA game is Wits and Wagers, a multiplayer trivia game you can play with the Xbox 360 Big Button controllers (the ones that came with Scene-IT?). It's only available in the UK, sorry about that.
"Just like the award-winning board game, players don’t have to be trivia experts to excel at “Wits & Wagers,” which balances social and betting skills with trivia knowledge. Choose your wacky dancing character and then dive into the game. You can win by making educated guesses, playing the odds or just knowing the interests of other players, whether they are local or online.
Break out the Big Button pad controllers and invite friends over for an entertaining couch vs. couch multiplayer experience on Xbox LIVE, supporting 1-4 players offline and 2-6 players in online multiplayer mode. With 700 trivia questions, great character costumes and dance moves, catchy music, achievements, leaderboards, support for the Xbox LIVE Vision Camera, the Xbox Big Button Pad and more, “Wits & Wagers” is the fun party game you can play with your family and friends starting this Wednesday!"
I've had a go myself and it's a really good laugh, especially with four players (and some forfeits sorted out in advance for the loser!). Some other stuff on Marketplace too:
EDIT: Wits and Wagers is unfortnately only available in the UK. Apologies, should have made this clear earlier.
