More detail:

"A highly placed development source has confirmed to Digital Foundry that the new disc format being beta tested in a new dashboard upgrade adds 1GB to the storage of Xbox 360 game discs."

That's it? Doesn't seem worth the trouble.

AND... it's been four years. FOUR YEARS since the last Half-Life installment.

In that time, Labor has been ousted from the British Parliament, Obama has ousted Bush, there has probably been an Olympics or Commonwealth games, perhaps even a FIFA, and ... I don't have the energy for this... the POINT IS.. it's been FOUR YEARS!

I know, I've complained about this a few times. Fuck Episode 3....may as well come out with a completely new Half Life at this point. I mean Half Life 2 came out the same year as Halo 2 and Metroid Prime 2. Its old.

There's also some rumors about it having an anti-piracy capability as well:

"Meanwhile, various hacking sites have speculated that Microsoft could be ready to introduce an updated type of DVD format to combat piracy."

Yeah man, see here.

Aside from the 3D and the functionality, the visuals are pretty impressive. The character models on Nintendogs, some of them are 360 quality and the animation is particularly great. Streetfighter 4, when its side on you wont see it but when you have a stage intro or do an ultra move the camera zooms in and you can see the visuals are really close to the 360 game, not as sharp but it's rich and has tons of shaders. Character model wise the 3DS can do 360 quality visuals, perhaps less detailed but all the stuff you expect from next gen character models is there.

Can't wait to see more of RE Revelations.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Castlevania: Lords of Shadow dlc for the 360 has been delayed. Sad

Oh well hopefully the delay won't be too long. Anyway I'll soon have more then enough to keep me busy until it's release.

GG in the news section, the world is back to normal (well except for nuclear fallout in Japan and war all over the middle east, scratch that, war in the middle east is normal).
GG I have never seen a DS game stretched in the top screen, every game has black bars on the side.

Chupacabra is such an awesome enemy in Castlevania. Its a little shit that steals all your items then runs around the level taunting you.

So was Lords of Shadow officialy proven to be a different game and then changed midway through. I would love some type of history into the development of this game. They were making a game where a holy man travels the countryside fighting classic monsters like werewolves, vampires, goblins, zombies, and it wasn't Castlevania, kind of seems like it had to be from the start.

Yes. It actually was pitched as a different game, then Konami and Kojima stepped in and said: "Nope. You're doing a reboot!"

IMO, They start tying this CastleVania up with the other ones ever so slightly right near the very, very end of the game. No spoilers, but there's a few HOLY SHIT! moments in the ending(s)... and I believe some of the things seen towards the end are modern day retelling of classic CastleVania moments. You, Archie and I will have to discuss when you finish!

Sounds great cause right now I am trying to figure out how this fits especially since they already did the origin story of Dracula.  But the story is pretty cool, I am fighting along side Patrick Stewart, I can't ask for more than that.
