Xbox 360 Weekend Warrior: It’s all about the games – going the way of the Renaissance, swag kits fail, party pills, more
This week sure was quite a change in the Xbox 360 blog landscape. For one, there was hardly any corporate talking head in sight. In fact, it was all about the game — and that’s all good to us. From theming up the games to accidental encounters with illegal drugs to a brief rendezvous with the Big Sisters, it’s all right here, so do click on that Full Article button for the complete lowdown.
This week sure was quite a change in the Xbox 360 blog landscape. For one, there was hardly any corporate talking head in sight. In fact, it was all about the game — and that’s all good to us.
We’ve got a number of titles that had multiple updates throughout the past seven days, like Assassin’s Creed 2 finally churning out those coveted information on gameplay. From the looks of their teaser site, it seems like their going for the Renaissance theme this time around.
And then there’s the Grand Theft Auto dramas (yes, not just one), starting off with the Fairfax County officers crying foul over the poor depiction of cops in the game. They’re not all that bad, they said. And since the GTA lifestyle is all about the action, how about we throw in some drug factor into the mix as well?
Also in the same day, we covered a report about a man accidentally picking up four tablets of Ecstacy, which he found in a second-hand manual of the same game. No party for him, though, as he immediately turned it over to the police. See the links of events, here?
Not to be overshadowed however is Electronic Arts and their swag bag for The Godfather II. Intent on making as big a splash as they could in time for the game launch, they sent out press kits containing the Don’s must-haves — real brass knuckles included. It hit them right back in their asses, though, and so immediately recalled the prohibited item.
Anyhow, there are more stories to be found, including debut trailers (watch the Big Sisters in action in BioShock 2) and game announcements, both welcomed and shunned (Fallujah done in “poor taste”).
