If you have recently tried to access Xbox Live, you will get the following error message:
“Some Xbox LIVE content is temporarily unavailable. You can still access your profile, communicate with other players, and play games online.
The content will automatically appear when it’s available.
Status Code: 8007274c”
Although it states you can ‘play games online’ a few users have been complaining on popular Xbox forums that some games, including Modern Warfare 2, can not be accessed. The same problem doesn’t seem to apply to all from what we’ve heard so far but it’s still causing problems for some.
No proper confirmation but we assume this problem is being caused by the recent Xbox Live update which included Twitter and Facebook integration, Last.fm, Zune, and news / video channels. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m officially tired of this shit. This week we discovered that Microsoft is planning on making their Facebook and Twitter apps for Xbox Live free to Gold members, but only giving Silver members a trial. Microsoft is effectively charging for services that are 100% free.
Let’s start from the top shall we. Earlier this week in a press release for the 360 price drop there was a footnote in... Read More

For many people, gaming is a hobby they dedicate a lot of time and money to, but also something they do to relax and have fun with. However, it’s been impossible to avoid the fact that many people, myself included, have got caught up in defense of their console of choice due to the level of nonsense that comes from both sides of the fence (Wii fans get a by on this, they’re mostly harmless...

Now that the Xbox 360 Elite has officially dropped in price and killed off the Pro, it was only a matter of time before there’d be a new rumor to pin on Microsoft’s console. Amazon Germany, who previously listed the PlayStation 3 Slim a good 20 days before the official debut (it still has the same Amazon Stock Identification Number as it did when leaked), has...

Microsoft has announced that the Xbox 360’s Facebook and Twitter integration will only be available to Gold members.
Hidden in the depths of Microsoft’s announcement of an Xbox 360 Elite price cut, we’ve found some news that we weren’t quite expecting.
Although the company revealed that access to Last-fm would require a Gold Xbox LIVE membership, there was no mention of the... Read More

Anyone who has played a multiplayer game on Xbox Live has undoubtedly met one of these fuck stools. They are the bane of the online gaming world and need to be dealt with. America passed the Patriot Act, let’s put it to good use for once and track down these intellectually under developed pole smokers.
The question is what do we do with them once we have them? What measure of pain should we inflict... Read More

So, yesterday I gave a review on the newest Batman game – Batman: Arkham Asylum, calling it “the best digital Batman simulator we’ve seen to date.”. Today, i decided to remind our readers the history of Batman games across the last 23 years…

Rocksteady manages to combine combat, stealth, storytelling, and cartoon voices into the best digital Batman simulator we’ve seen to date.
For me, the official Batman games have been so disappointing, that I don’t even bother naming any as “the best Batman” game; depending on my mood, that epithet belongs to either Splinter Cell or Assassin’s Creed. Those two franchises... Read More
