There has been a lot said about what the exact failure rate of the Xbox 360 is. Microsoft has always claimed that it is within the industry norm 3-5% while some nutters have claimed it is closer to 66%. (I highly doubt it).

There was no way I was going to miss posting about this story when Ripten.com had made such an awesome image… Apparently on the official US PlayStation website it was confirmed that with the next patch you would finally be able to chat to any of your friends “ingame”. the page was taken down very quickly but one eagle eyed …

We are in a dry spot So The Club was released into America this week which obviously means we need to check out the differences. All in all the two games …

Okay so it is early days still but NCSoft, the guys who only really make massively multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPG), has announced that they are developing a new game for the PS3 that will be demonstrated later this year. When they were asked if they where just going to port one of their current titles they answered that’s …

So who said that Xbox Live had a 16 player limit? The multiplayer demo for Frontlines: Fuel of War has just been released on Xbox Live and it supports a whopping 32 players. The downside is that it is 1.11 GB (R75 since we have to pay for bandwidth). However a 32 player warfest with tanks, helicopters and multiple classes …
