Xbox 360 Weekend Warrior: Of the rumor that just won’t die, rumors on delays, rumors on releases, and game predictions based on music
While last week we had a bevy of assets to further tease our gaming taste buds, this week we had a whole lot of rumors pertaining to game releases, and new technology for the Xbox 360. And they’re not the type that you can just ignore either. It’s all here, no need to look anywhere else. This was the week that ended April, so see if the month wound down with a bang.
While last week we had a bevy of assets to further tease our gaming taste buds, this week we had a whole lot of rumors pertaining to game releases, and new technology for the Xbox 360. And they’re not the type that you can just ignore either.
They’re very intriguing, say for example the resurrected (yet again) rumor on the motion-sensing controller for the console — which detects not just measly waggle controllers, but YOUR WHOLE BODY movement!
Or how about that new DLC for Fallout 3, or the delay in Batman’s trip to Q4? It’s all here, no need to look anywhere else. This was the week that ended April, so see if the month wound down with a bang.
