Fallout 3 (one of the best games of last year) is coming out with yet another DLC expansion on PC and Xbox 360. While I have to admit I sent my copy of Fallout 3 back to Gamefly after I beat it and have not played any of the expansions, I’m still pretty impressed with all the expansions that Bethesda has been releasing to keep their game alive and Fallout fans happy. Those of you that still have your copy of the game can purchase the DLC for 800 MS Points ($10).

Xbox LIVE Most Played List for Week of March 23th

Paul Curtin — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 21:17:06 +0000

Call of Duty: World at War is holding on to the #1 spot for the second week in a row after the release of its latest map pack, while Resident Evil 5 slipped and Gears of War 2 has started climbing the chart due to last weeks big patch update. I’m guessing Gears of War 2 will jump to the #3 if not #2 spot on this week’s most played list after the release of the Snowblind Map Pack today.

1. Call of Duty: WaW
2. Halo 3
3. Call of Duty 4
4. Gears of War 2 (Up from #5 last week)
5. Resident Evil 5 (Down from #4 last week)
6. GTA IV
7. FIFA 09 (Up from #8 last week)
8. Left 4 Dead (Up from #9 last week)
9. Halo Wars (Down from #7 last week)
10. Fallout 3 (Back from not making the top 10 last week)

Dead Rising 2 Multiplayer Confirmed at GDC 2009 (Update)

Paul Curtin — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 04:01:49 +0000

IGN has recently released some key notes from the making of Dead Rising 2 panel at GDC 2009. Here’s all you need to know:

Laura Scholl, the Product Manager of mental mill confirmed that Dead Rising 2 will frequently track at soleast 800 separate clothing textures to provide the sense of unique zombies onscreen. What’s more, thanks to the elements that Blue Castle are using from mental mill to quickly mass produce characters for the game engine, players could experience as many as 6000 characters onscreen during multiplayer sessions.

Update 3/31: So now it looks like there might not be multiplayer… Laura Scholl has issued a response to the news:

During the Dead Rising 2 presentation at GDC this past Friday, while I was describing how Blue Castle is using mental mill technology in character development, I mistakenly referred to the game as multiplayer instead of multiplatform. I apologize for the confusion.

New Huxley Gameplay Walkthrough Video from GDC 2009

Paul Curtin — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 21:20:56 +0000

After an impressive initial showcasing at the E3 Expo in 2005; Huxley, an FPSMMORPG (first person shooter massive multiplayer online role playing game) that uses the Unreal Engine 3 and was once said to be the game that would revolutionize the MMO industry has fallen off the map. Release dates constantly being pushed back and little updates on information about the game have killed almost all the buzz that Huxley once had. Huxley mixes the gameplay components of FPSs like Unreal Tournament 3 and MMORPGs like World of Warcraft and Anarchy Online. Click the jump for more information and video of the walkthrough.

One of the main problems for Huxley’s lack of buzz amongst U.S. gamers is that all of Huxley’s media has been in Korean due to the game being developed by Webzen, a game publisher located in South Korea. Although bad news has just surfaced about the Xbox 360 version being put on hold, G4 has just released a English version of a developer walkthrough from GDC 2009 that takes a look at one of the cities, PvE combat, PvP combat, classes, abilities and more. Huxley is supposed to be released late this year, but then again it was also supposed to be released in late 2006…

Top Ten Reasons You Must Have Prototype HD Gameplay Trailer

Paul Curtin — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 07:05:42 +0000

Honestly, there is only one reason that you must have Prototype and that’s because it looks badass. When I first saw trailers for this game I was speechless. I want to say this game looks like Grand Theft Auto on crack… but Crackdown was the result of Grand Theft Auto on crack. This game is far beyond Crackdown. Prototype looks like Grand Theft Auto on acid. Prototype comes out this June and if you haven’t seen or heard about this game, I strongly suggest checking the HD for the top ten reasons you must have Prototype after the break.
