The Xbox Live Community - Games

I removed the "( _ )" Idea since it was confusing.

Life support. [editline]12th December 2010[/editline] I haven't really played my xbox much this week.

Bethesda community manager Nick Breckon busted out this news over the weekend via Twitter, calling Skyrim's engine "all-new" and adding that it "looks fantastic." Rock, Paper, Shotgun followed up with Breckon soon after, asking if this new engine is some sort Gamebryo variant. Breckon replied with, "it's a new graphics/gameplay engine built internally. We'll have more details down the road." Breckon's comments appear to shoot down the popular speculation that the next Elder Scrolls game from Bethesda would be using id Tech 5, id Software's newfangled engine it's using for Rage. This rumor started circulating after id was acquired by Bethesda parent company ZeniMax. Engines aren't always that interesting a topic, but this one in particular has been the backbone of several freakishly buggy and load-screen-heavy games like New Vegas. The move to a new engine is a promising one for a new Elder Scrolls game, which is almost sure to be a lengthy and complex affair. I think most New Vegas (and even Oblivion) fans would agree with me that dealing with "old" Gamebryo for extended periods of time is a bummer because of its issues and age. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was announced via trailer during the 2010 Video Game Awards. If you missed the show, no worries. Said trailer is just below.

But super eager fans can venture outside to major retailers as early as this afternoon in order to procure a pre-order ticket for one of two different special edition bundles, as well as retailer-tied character and fatality DLC. The first of these special edition bundles is the "Kollector's Edition," which features Sub-Zero and Scorpion figurines, an art book, an "exclusive" classic Mortal Kombat costume skin, and themed avatar costumes. The other edition is the "Tournament Edition," which features a limited-release "portable fight stick" and another classic Mortal Kombat costume skin, as well as themed avatar costumes. Pre-ordering either of these special editions, or even the vanilla edition of the pseudo-reboot, will get you additional "exclusive access" to DLC at Amazon, GameStop or Best Buy. I've created a little list here for your reading pleasure: GameStop "Klassic" Scorpion Playable Character Skin Original Scorpion Fatality Best Buy "Klassic" Sub-Zero Playable Character Skin Original Sub-Zero Fatality Amazon "Klassic" Reptile Playable Character Skin Original Reptile Fatality The DLC fatalities appear in addition to the two character-specific fatalities that each character will have by default. Amazon is the first of these retailers to release an image of this pre-order DLC. Check out Reptile's classic look: [img]http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1/19507/1655850-retro_ninja_reptile_artwork_ts_super.gif[/img] In other Mortal Kombat news, God of War's Kratos was confirmed as a PS3-exclusive character at the Spike VGAs. According to WBIE, he'll have his own move set, fatality, and fighting arena. NetherRealm's Ed Boon spoke briefly about Kratos' inclusion in a recent press release. "We could not be more excited to have Kratos in the new Mortal Kombat, since we've always felt he would fit perfectly into our universe and can't wait for Mortal Kombat and God of War fans to play this game," he said.

EA has confirmed (via Joystiq) that the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 versions of the sci-fi RPG will launch at the same time around the globe--a first for the series, though the franchise hasn't even seen its debut yet on the PS3. Mass Effect 3 was formally announced over the weekend at the Spike Video Games Awards show, and as a leak had already indicated, the game will indeed focus largely on Earth. The debut teaser at the 2010 VGAs showed Earth being invaded and bruised by Reapers and their little baddies. It also highlighted the fact that Shepard is a quadrillion miles away attempting to handle the larger threat by gathering support for the fight. [img]http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1/19507/1655813-bioware_teaser_super.jpg[/img] "At BioWare, we are always driving ourselves to improve and I firmly believe our best work is still ahead of us," said Dr. Ray Muzyka, BioWare co-founder, said in a press release statement. "We could not be prouder of the team's accomplishments with Mass Effect 2, and are excited and humbled by all of the recognition the game has received so far. We can't wait to show you what the team is doing to make ME3 an even bigger success."

GT: OrganizationXIV [sp]Don't judge me.[/sp] I'm rarely online, and probably won't be until my girlfriend and I get a new router (we share the 360). I do have Reach and multitude of other games, but I don't mind just chatting with people while a play a single-player game. :3:

[QUOTE=Xonax;26730080]How long is the "Pay for 1 month gold membership get one 1 month gold membership free" going for?

Don't what other thread to put this is so. Anyone want to buy 48-hour xbox live for $5?

No thanks, but can someone answer my question?

Is Netflix party streaming still possible? [editline]18th December 2010[/editline] or is it at all?

I've heard I can get a one month trial on a account, but I can't find anything about it on their website, any of you know anything about it?

Yes. I got it on my PS3. You do need cc credentials are required for it too, and yes I got a free month.

[QUOTE=Xonax;26730080]How long is the "Pay for 1 month gold membership get one 1 month gold membership free" going for? Since i don't have any cash till next month, and i am hoping to get it.[/QUOTE] Anyone? I need a answer.

Tag - GangstaMatt07 (I know it's a fucking stupid name, my brother wont let me change it) Games - I have alot that I don't feel like listing but I frequently play Black Ops and sometimes Borderlands. My bro usually plays Skate 3/2 I do not have a kids voice although I am young.

Who is going to buy portal 2 for the 360? I am before i buy it for the PC, since it'd be a waste of cash buying the PC version and finding it doesn't work.

I'll add my GT after I change it, and my subscription runs out on Christmas Day :rolleyes:
