• New Halo 2 Maps Revealed

  According to Frankie, the new Halo 2 Maps will be remakes of the classic maps from the original Halo, Hang 'em High and Derelict. Full Press Release: HALO 2 MULTIPLAYER MAPS REVEALED Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie Studios today confirmed the upcoming release of two new, eagerly awaited downloadable maps for “Halo® 2.” The maps will be available as premium downloadable content for Xbox® and Xbox 360™ on April 17. Fans of the original “Halo” have long requested the addition of some of their favorite maps to the critically acclaimed multiplayer experience of “Halo 2.” These re-creations, developed by Bungie and Certain Affinity Inc., are a perfect way to thank fans for their support as they surpass 800 million hours of “Halo 2” gaming on Xbox LIVE®. The two maps will bring new life to ancient battlefields and legendary skirmishes, as both are new, improved and redesigned remakes of fan favorites from the original “Halo: Combat Evolved.” For the price of $4 for the pair, these maps bring a fresh burst of action to the seminal “Halo 2” online multiplayer experience. Both of the maps will be available through the “Halo 2” in-game content downloader for both Xbox and Xbox 360.* The king of “Halo” maps has returned at last. Hang ’Em High, arguably the most popular multiplayer map for the original title, has been reimagined for “Halo 2” as Tombstone, with all-new graphics, features and a few hidden surprises. Now fans will enjoy the dangerous catwalks and trenches that made this the most requested “Halo” multiplayer map ever, with a modernized “Halo 2” flavor. The second map, Desolation, is a symmetrical, Deathmatch-oriented map and a beautiful remake of the original Derelict. With new graphics and effects and a massive gameplay overhaul, the old favorite is now faster-paced and more balanced than ever — perfect for intense “Halo 2” combat.

• Halo 3 Legendary Edition Makes Waves

  The Halo 3 Legendary Edition made waves early last week as it became available and then quickly sold out on Amazon.com.  As a result, the Legendary Edition made the top of the best sellers list.  This is quite an accomplishment when you consider that the game costs $129.99 (limited edition) and does not yet have a firm release date (besides late 2007).  This early buzz and quick sell out certainly bodes well for Microsoft as they prepare for the all important Christmas season, where all three consoles will be battling it out for next generation supremacy.

• Wii Virtual Console Releases for 3/12/2007

  Oh boy...  The Nintendo Virtual Console releases are showing no signs of slowing down.  This week is highlighted by the almighty Tecmo Bowl NES version.  I believe this was the infamous 'Bo Jackson' Raiders version...  The other two releases include: Sonic Spinball Double Dungeons Here is the full press release:  WII-KLY UPDATE: THREE NEW CLASSIC GAMES ANNOUNCED FOR WII SHOP CHANNEL March 12, 2007 Today Nintendo adds three new classic games to the popular Wii™ video game system's Wii Shop Channel. The games go live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the channel every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games are: Tecmo Bowl™ (NES®, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Tecmo Bowl pits the player versus the computer in 11-game, single-elimination playoff action. Players also can go head-to-head with a human opponent in action or coach mode. The player can select from 12 teams. On offense there are usually two run and two pass plays to choose from. The player takes control of the quarterback before the snap and then either hands off to the running back or works through his receiver progression from the top to the bottom of the screen. Defense consists of trying to guess which offensive play the opponent will select and then taking control of one of the defensive players before the snap. A very simple power-meter system is used for kicking field goals, extra points and punts. Sonic Spinball™ (Sega Genesis, 1-4 players, 800 Wii Points): Dr. Eggman (aka Dr. Robotnik) has taken over Mt. Mobius and turned it into a mechanical base. He is using energy from the magma flowing under the volcano to power his Veg-O-Fortress. He has the power to transform helpless animals into robots. Sonic the Hedgehog must take down this fortress to free the enslaved animals. The only way to make that happen is to trigger an eruption in the volcano it's built on. Sonic knows this can be done by removing the Chaos Emeralds that keep the volcano stable. Dr. Eggman, however, is also aware of the fragile relationship that exists between the emeralds and the mountain, and he's set up an elaborate Pinball Defense System to make sure the precious jewels don't go anywhere. Double Dungeons (TurboGrafx16, 1-2 players, 600 Wii Points): Double Dungeons is a dungeon role-playing game that features smooth-scrolling 3-D game play. Two players can play at the same time, which makes this game truly stand out from the rest. There are 22 unique scenarios, spread out among six levels. The higher the level is, the harder the scenario. Because each scenario is independent, players can choose to start the game from any scenario other than the final one. Players defeat monsters in each dungeon to gain experience while searching for the "key" that opens the door to the room with the boss. They buy equipment at the shop, team up with characters and defeat the boss to clear a scenario. Players must conquer all 21 scenarios from levels 1 through 5 to obtain passwords. If they obtain all of them, they make their way to the final scenario! The list of downloadable games is updated weekly on Nintendo's Online Press Room at press.nintendo.com.

• FYI... Free High Def South Park Episode

  Just a friendly reminder that the first ever high definition South Park episode is currently available for free on Xbox LIVE Marketplace.  Microsoft and Comedy Central got a ton of press for this...  According to Major Nelson, this will be available for free over the next two weeks, so grab it while you can.  I started downloading this bad boy and it clocks in at over 1 GB. It may be me, but it's a bit dissappointing that the crude cartoon graphics in South Park are the first HD content available made available for free???  I know... beggers can't be choosers...  Posted Wednesday, March 07, 2007 3:43 PM from Cheap Xbox 360 - NEWS | 0 Comments Filed under: Microsoft News
