Rumor: Gears of War Hit 4 Million (via Kotaku) -
Web forum NeoGAF points to a Japanese site that claims Gears of War has shifted 4 million units. Gotta agree with GAF — Getting Xbox 360 sales data from a Japanese site is totally sketch. So we followed the paper trail to the original source, iTWire. That website reports:
Microsoft's latest game, Gears of War, continues its incredible sales figures, recently selling more than 4 million copies and edging close to knocking Halo and Halo 2 off the top of the Xbox sales charts. Discuss (0) | Login to recommend | Popularity: 4401 | 2 years ago

New Spider-Man 3 gameplay footage (via The Xbox Domain) -
Spider-Man 3 is one of, if not the most anticipated movie of the summer; so will blockbuster success lead to gameplay greatness?
Not likely, but previous Spider-Man games have set a precedent for creating a fun, casual, free-roaming RPG where you can simply travel where ever your Spidey sense takes you. Discuss (0) | Login to recommend | Popularity: 906 | 2 years ago

Look, Eragon is great and all, with his pretty boy hair and that whole dragon thing he's got going on, but we wouldn't exactly describe him as ideal representation of a complete Euro-PS3 backwards compatibility list. Unfortunately, that's exactly what the folks at Cynamite found, who nabbed a pre-release Emotion Engine-free PS3 for testing a couple weeks before launch, and confirmed some of the worst fears about the PAL PS3's backwards compatibility.

Army of Two footage: funny or not? (via Xbox 360 Fanboy) - Filed under: News
Since Army of Two was first announced by EA, we've been intrigued. Seeing an original IP emerge from a company that heavily capitalizes on franchises and sequels was refreshing.
