Deus Ex 3 announced

In an interview with Eidos Montreal's general manager Gamasutra learned that they have just passed the proof of concept for Deus Ex 3.

I hope this is back in the vein of the first, rather than the slightly lacklustre second game. To be honest I'd be happy playing an updated version of the first on my 360.

Lightweight teaser on GameVideos.com:

Mummy I dun a bagsie...

Wait, did they even have those ads on TV over here? Ach, ferget it, I'll go with the potty theme.

I have two screens here, so if we're going to XBL it, we may need more hardware. Alternatively, we can break out the DSs and see what's new in hook up world.

Who You Gonna Call?

Sierra Games have released a press statement regarding Ghostbusters The Video Game. A pan-platform game, it debuts on the 360 in Autumn 08 and will call on the talents of Ackroyd and Ramis to write the event-driven story line and all of the original crew will be back for the voice acting.

Check the official site for a very lean teaser video and a few screenies.

I really really really hope this game works out.

Fall Update announced

Apparently the Fall Update is going to include the XBox original downloads code, so that means that December 4th will be the big day.

Still hoping for divx / xvid support. With PS3 getting it, surely that forces MS's hand?

Happy Birthday Dear XBL!

Xbox Live is 5 years old today! Happy Birthday XBL!

To celebrate MS are letting every single XBL user download a free arcade game tomorrow (16th November) so don't forget to sign on and do so. Not sure at this point if it's one particular arcade game, or a free for all. I suspect the former.

Also, as of December 4th we'll be able to download full original XBOX games through the marketplace at a cost of 1200 MicroBucks a pop (that's about £8 in real money.) Launch titles include Halo, Psychonauts, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and Fable.

I might pick up Halo, although I suspect I could get the disk cheaper if I shopped around. Also Psychonauts is well worth a look if you've not played it.
