Inferno Game Update 25-4-09


Hey Guys, Its Inferno with his 13-Days Game Update for 25-4-09. A really burly 13 days game wise.
And for dogs everywhere with obama getting a dog.

Will Wright creator of Spore and Sims, is leaving Maxis, to go to a new place called Stupid Fun Club

Bungie has revealed that some 10 billion Covenant have been slain in Halo 3's campaign mode, with the milestone being released 565 days after the game's release.

The impressive figure translates into 12,000 enemy troops killed every minute since the game first hit shelves in late 2007 – and if the dead covenant were laid end to end it would create a morbid chain that would circle the earth some 456 times.

Did you ever doubt that the iPhone was as powerful -- actually, more powerful -- than the Nintendo DS? Gameloft's upcoming Assassin's Creed for the iPhone is proof positive that there are enough horsies under the hood to render a fully realized Crusade-savaged Holy Land. Set to be released in just a few weeks, Assassin's Creed for the iDevices is indeed largely based on Altair's Chronicles, the DS prequel to the very first Creed game.

As the master assassin Altair you must explore the bustling metropolises of the Holy Land to uncover "The Chalice," a sacred artifact held by the Templars. According to your superiors at The Order of the Assassins, stealing the Chalice has the potential to end the Crusades.



Nintendo of America on Tuesday revealed release date and pricing details for its anticipated Wii MotionPlus accessory. The pass-through device, which plugs into the bottom of the Wii remote and enables greater, more accurate sensitivity, will ship to U.S. retailers on June 8. The peripheral will debut in Europe four days later.
The MotionPlus accessory will be sold as a stand-alone hardware for $19.99 in America. No information on European pricing is yet available.
Although consumers will be able to purchase the hardware itself in June, they will have to wait a month to play Nintendo's showpiece MotionPlus software, Wii Sports Resort. The game will debut on July 24 in Europe and July 26 in America bundled with MotionPlus. The package will retail for $49.99 stateside, but no details regarding price in Europe have been made official yet.
The fallout universe could be expanding beyond the world of videogames, with Bethesda recently filing a trademark for the brand covering both a television series and film.

A filing on the US Patent and Trademark Office site – picked up by Joy Stiq– lays claim to use of the name for "entertainment services in the nature of an on-going television program," as well as "motion picture films about a post-nuclear apocalyptic world."

The fallout series has long drawn from the rich vein of post-apocalyptic cinema, with in-game references stretching from the Mad Max films to A Boy and His Dog.

EB Games has been asked to reserve shelf space from Nintendo for something big!!!!!
According to a job-posting made by Microsoft, the company is seeking an experienced engineer to “deliver a great out-of-game interactive experience that takes the next step beyond the systems found in Halo 3.”
“We have an ambitious task ahead, taking the current Halo community and online gaming support system and bringing it to the next level,” the job description reads. “We're looking to blend console, web, and mobile to create an immersive Halo world that follows the dedicated Halo fan wherever they go. We need engineers that can build connected technology while working in a startup environment.”
Although not a job listing for a new Halo game per se, this “interactive experience” outside the game is intriguing. Is this something beyond stat tracking? Will Halo move into a persistent online world like World of Warcraft? And how is Bungie, developer of the Halo franchise, involved with the project? In any case, Halo fans seem to have something in store for them.
Publisher Dorling Kindersley (a.k.a. DK) announced today that the company will be publishing a Halo encyclopedia, an officially licensed guide to “the characters, weapons, vehicles, equipment, and locations from Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo Wars, and Halo 3: ODST.” The encyclopedia will be 352 pages and include a foreword by Frank O’Connor, Halo’s franchise development director.
DK has also worked on a variety of Star Wars, DC Comics, and Marvel reference books as well, and Alex Allan, the company’s Director of Licensed Publishing says the creative team at DK are avid gamers and have been fascinated by Halo for quite some time. So, if you do have a set of encyclopedias detailing all of this world’s intricacies, why not supplement it with one about Halo’s ringed worlds as well?

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games are joining forces with the LEGO Group, Harmonix and MTV Games, a part of Viacom’s MTV Networks (NYSE: VIA and VIA.B), to merge two of the most popular videogame franchises with the creation of LEGO® Rock Band®. The unique family-friendly music experience is currently in development by TT Games in partnership with Harmonix, and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The game, which will allow families, tweens and teens to experience a wild journey to rock stardom where they can “Build a Band and Rock the Universe,” will be available for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Wii™ home videogame console. LEGO Rock Band for Nintendo DS™ will be co-developed by TT Games and Harmonix in partnership with Backbone Entertainment, a Foundation 9 Entertainment studio. All versions are scheduled for release in Summer 2009.
LEGO Rock Band combines the multiplayer music experience of Rock Band® with the fun, customization and humour of the LEGO videogame franchise packed with brilliant chart-topping songs and classic favourites suitable for younger audiences, including:
Blur: “Song 2”
Carl Douglas: “Kung Fu Fighting”
Europe: “The Final Countdown”
Good Charlotte: “Boys and Girls”
Pink: “So What”
The music portions of the game will remain the same as the Rock Band series, though easier skill levels will be provided for "budding musicians".Successfully completing songs will earn the players Lego bricks which they may use to build and customize their Lego-style avatars, staff, vehicles, and their "rock den".There will also be Lego-themed challenges such as demolishing buildings by successfully playing songs.

Peace Out
