The video below covers a few games coming to Xbox 360 this year but the highlight of the video is about 30 seconds in where Marcus Fenix from Gears of War shows a new punch based execution.  According to several internet sources there will be a whole new execution range based on weapons and one that seems very intriguing is an execution using the bow and its blades.. interesting!.. anyway heres the video:

A quick scan around the net and were confronted with a possible list of features that are rumoured to be in the Xbox Spring Dashboard Update - A few of these features look absolutely great yet others are quite minor… One of the biggest updates in our eyes is the ability to donate microsoft points and.. Drum Roll Please… Group Private Chat! up to four users will be able to chat together which could make clan battles a little more interesting?  The full list can be found after the jump!

According to several sources on the internet Universal have bought the rights to make a movie based on the game Bioshock.  Ken Levine is being ‘regularly consulted’ on project although it is not clear if he will have an official role in the making of the Movie.  The director has also been picked - Gore Verbinski - who directed the Pirates of the Caribbean.  With a bit of luck the movie will turn out good but will it beat theGears of War movie? Only time will tell.

Doom 4 will be the next venture for iD Software - This has got myself very excited aas my gaming started with Doom 1 and my online game started with the very first online FPS ‘Quakeworld’  iD have been of quiet lately apart from the announcement of Quake Wars on Xbox 360 so im hoping that this will be another ground breaking game from the camp that invented FPS.

Word has just reached the Xboxer360.com team that PES2008 is now being entered into the Xbox 360 Classics and is now priced at just £24.99 - admittedly I sold my copy but I think its going to be purchased again!

Breaking news across the interwebs today as news surfaces of GTA IV being leaked. It looks as though an unsavoury group of people by the name of iCON have managed to get hold of whats believed to be a copy of Asian origin. Its only compatible with PAL regions but theres rumoured to be a NTSC version in the next 48 hours. On behalf of all sane minded humans we at Xboxer360 strongly suggest that you dont download the game. Just think what a massive dis-credit it would be to the dev team behind this nigh-on perfect game.

Also a warning to all those seeking new GTA info, Massive clips and files of gameplay have been posted all over the internet so all us law abiding people best put on our anti spoiler goggles.

Once again people, Please resist the urge to download! Theres only 5 full days left!

Its official, The Condemned 2 demo is available on XBL! Download it now, Buy yourself some new underwear and a potty, Strap yourself down. And enjoy!

Harmonix have finally announced a UK street date for Rock Band, as well as all the current DLC. The game is released on May 23rd, and the DLC will be surfacing on May 27th. The curious thing is the that you cant get everything in one box, the game and instruments are sold seperately. Retailing at £39.99 and £99.99 respectively. After the DLC hits on the 27th then, all the new DLC will be simutaneous UK/US releases.

I for one am absolutely wetting my pants in glee, how about you? Let us know by leaving a comment!

UK retailers Game, Gamestation and Play.com are reporting that their preorder stocks of GTA IV are all but expended. Players wanting to cash in on the offers of free Gamerpics and MSPoints may well be out of luck with all retailers saying that copies ordered after April 7th may not arrive at your doorstep on release day. Makes me glad I had mine ordered last year…

Rumour has it that Kane and Lynch developer, Eidos, Will be releasing info on a new DLC pack for the game tomorrow. Early speculations hint that the pack is going to be a free download too, Depending on the quality then maybe its worth giving it a second chance?

We’ll keep you updated on progress.

Further more detailed information about Gears of War 2 has been discovered in the latest issue of US Magazine Game Informer. According to Cliffy B there will be lots of new enemies that will “make the Brumak look like a baby panda bear” (Panda’s are vicous, right?). The game is set 6 months after the end of the first game and will continue to revolve around Marcus & Dominic and new additions Tai Kaliso and Dizzy, with Cole and Baird set to return later in the game. Dizzy is believed to be a former stranded (Remember the guys on the Kryll mission?) who joined the Gears in return of a safe haven for his family and Tai is supposed to be “Spiritual and Meditative” Did someone say Hippy?

Delta Squad will take command from Chairman Prescott, (No relation to John Prescott that we are aware of) who is Hoffmans boss from the first game, and from the outset delivers a speech to rally the troops ready for the war ahead, or so we understand. Delta will also focus on finding Dom’s Wife, Maria, who lost her kids in the opening shot of the war (Which also appears in the leaked movie script)

Covering hasn’t changed much but has been improved in some areas and will include moving cover which seems very interesting, maybe it will be a bit like Army of Two? We can only speculate at this stage.

The locusts are now reinforced with Kantus Monks, who revive locusts from a distance, so they must be killed very quickly in order to win any battle you enter. They can also use ‘Sonic Attacks’ and have ‘Gorgon Burst Pistols’ and ‘Poisonuos Grenades’ which will be available to you later in the game.

There will be a whole new range of weapons to add on from the last game and the active reloads will remain but may change slightly for different weapons. Also it looks like the Chainsaw duel has been confirmed! Woohoo!

Anyone for a new vehicle? The COG Centaur Tank will be coming into play (A cross between a monster truck and a tank) and will feature in a vehicle level like the one in the original game.

Many more features from the first game are included such as achievements and more details surrounding the COG tags from the first game.

Co-op has been much improved and will support a new drop-in feature, which means that each player can choose there own diffculity setting while playing together in co-op. No details have been mentioned on multiplayer yet but we suspect much larger team games. Game difficulty modes have been greatly increased so Insane will be “truly devastating” and casual will be ultra easy for all you wimps out there.

Gears of War 2 is due out in November.

The new arcade game; Mr Driller: Online, is apparantly riddled with online bugs at the moment. Most players are complaining that the bugs are so bad they’re forced to play offline. Ouch. More news as we get it.

Just a reminder to let everyone know that the new Call of Duty 4 maps are in. The ‘Variety Map Pack’ is available off the XBL Marketplace for a reasonable 800 MSPoints. Remember that if you download this pack youcant take part in the Double XP weekend. Well worth it

Australian ratings board OFLC have recently rated a newer iteration in the Geometry Wars franchise. Sticking with the Retro Evolved title, although not with its home console. The rating states that this title is going to be a multi-platform release and to be published by Activision rather than Bizarre Creations, so lets hope that this one is a true sequel rather than just a name..

Fantastic news, Even more DLC is being released for Two Worlds this week. The pack is said to include 35 more quests for you to complete, giving a total of 70 bonus quests when combined with the last DLC; and more PVP is here. Although the PVP section has exactly the same description as the last hit of DLC so its hard to tell whether your paying for more, or just more of the same. Exactly the same.

This content will set you back 600 MSPoints if you really must download it, God only knows how much more they’re going to milk this already dying ‘cash cow’…

Mr Driller is available for purchase from the Marketplace as of today. Coming in at 800 MSPoints, Mr Driller looks to be a fun puzzler with some longevity in it. Online VS. play is also available.

The Call of Duty 4 Boot Camp was great.. The new maps are VERY VERY good! Big shout to Afro Manga for attending with us and a big shout out to the host of the evening: Iain Lee!

The new maps are due out Friday 4th April and are priced at 800 Marketplace Points.
