I should think it's worse.  By the way the PS3 has been hacked as well.  There's people playing games using the USB port

That's kinda cool really.

*Awaits aspro rage*.

If Gabe Newell made a Half-Life movie, he'd release it in three separate 35 minute episodes over a 5+ year period.

LOL!

Half-Life Episode 1 "Coming SUMMER 2011"

Half-Life Episode 2 "Coming Winter 2013"

Half-Life Episode 3 "TBA"

Um...so, Gabe Newel wants to make a Half Life film? Don't tell me he wants to direct it as well?

Well, if it happens...

And his career would sink to new depths...House and then a blues album? Dear God, Half-Life seems perfect fro the next step. :X

Gamesradar Castlevania LOS preview

Now, for the most part, Lords of Shadow is a narrow, linear corridor. It is most definitely not open-world, and whether that appeals or not depends on the player. Its environments are typically corridors and rooms dressed up in whatever environmental details suit the level – the swamp is cordoned off by vines and branches. However, the game has a certain amount of exploratory elements: there are branching pathways that sometimes allow a level to be played slightly differently a second time, and while it's not “Metroidvania” caliber item seeking, there are points where you'll see a treasure and the game will tell you that you can't reach it until you have some ability acquired later in the game.

Xbox Live's 'little b*stards' get rude awakening

Hands up who's been abused on Xbox Live? Keep 'em up if it was by a candy-munching, 12-year-old American sprog - with a Childline-bothering aggressive streak and a mouth filthier than Dita Von Teese's wormery.

Wow. Look at that. A sea of arms. Arms that know the incredulity of being tarnished as a "fag" by a pre-pubescent.

Perhaps the most irritating aspect of this experience isn't the eardrum-piercing maltreatment - it's the futility of your resultant anger. Because swearing at children is wrong. And you know it.

But hang on. Help may yet be at hand - and it comes in the hulking, bad guy-terminating shape of Hank Keirsey.

War hero and US military advisor Keirsey has been consulting with Treyarch during development of Call Of Duty: Black Ops. Having held a similar role on titles such as Modern Warfare and Call Of Duty 3, he knows his games. And he knows his gamers.

"The reason I chose to go with [Treyarch] was because I did think they were doing a useful service besides making a good game," he told CVG.

"When I played the original Call of Duty, after being a soldier, I screwed up a couple things. I know to check corners and when someone jumps out I was kicking myself. It was sufficient and realistic enough that it gave me the damn willies. I was waking up in the middle of the night thinking I could do much better."

So Hank practised. He got good, too. But there was one aspect of the online experience that he wasn't so keen on. And he's out for revenge.

"Then you're pissed off in multiplayer when some 12-year-old is kicking your ass," he added. "You think: 'I do this for a living you little b*stard.' I'm going to crawl down your basement hatch and I'll find you, you little..."

We suggested to Hank that if these half-grown foes knew who he was, they might not be so confident in the virtual warzone. But his train of thought was unrelenting.

He continued: "'I know where you live you little b*stard. Use all the expletives you want; when I show up you're going to have a big bar of soap in your mouth and boot up your ass. You little b*stard."

You hear that kids? Yes, you. Sleep tight, now.

[DISCLAIMER: It was pretty evident to us that Hank was joking. We think he's probably got better things to do in his spare time.]

My god this game will be GOTY worthy. Kojima is a god. He hardly worked on the game and his presence alone created the first great 3D Castlevania game.
