Games Cheats and Reviews

VGArabia: Let’s face it. The PS3 has been kicking the Xbox360 ass in the visuals department in the last two years. But things are about to change now.

Xbox360 has received another leap in graphics thanks to this new technology called " Sparse Virtual Texturing " from the creators of BRINK. BRINK’s in-game graphics are so close to the cinematic trailer that even Crytek will have to take notice and be ready to show off how Crysis 2 can run on the 360 in comparison.

This game is seriously looking like a hit and Creative Director Richard Ham sheds alot more light on what we can expect from this ground breaking FPS.

Castlevania is set to debut this year and the game is looking incredible. Dave Cox is a great producer for Konami but it appears that there’s a sign of doubt within the Lord Of Shadow release this year, not being able to fully compete with Uncharted 2’s greatness may pose a threat to the expected success of Castlevania.

Will Castlevania get the franchise back up to speed or is the hype to much for Konami to handle?

Xboxic Reports: It has come to the attention of modding groups that once the Xbox 360 associated files are saved on a USB memory device they appear unreadable on any computer, with the folder list displaying itself as empty. Futher investigation by the group has revealed that a folder named XBOX360 is kept hidden, and all Xbox 360 transferred items contained within it are stored together grouped in files that are unable to be individually extracted. With the current USB update, Microsoft has made saved content more difficult to access than previous memory card methods which was to simply insert the card into a device that plugs straight into your computer and copy it across using drag & drop. Folders are now encrypted files, and content transferred to USB memory from the Xbox 360 are stored within the files together rather than listed individually as numbered content.

Within just a few hours of the update, a member of the modding group is already claiming to have hacked the security methods on the files to try and create a program that extracts content to a PC desktop.

Available in stores today, Xbox 360 introduces the 250GB Hard Drive, which offers more space to store your favorite game and entertainment content. Available at the incredible value of $129.99 (U.S ERP), the 250GB Hard Drive offers more freedom to download the latest demos, Xbox LIVE Arcade games, full game titles with Games on Demand, TV shows, movies and more straight to your Xbox 360 console.

Stig Vs Cliffy B, This is a battle for the ages because of their great talent showcasing God Of War and Gears Of War to our industry.

In truth only one can prevail and by now God Of War is easily in the lead amongst gamers but Gears Of War 3 may very well have a chance to take the title. Question is will it be Xbox360 only or does Cliffy B need the extra processing power of the Playstation 3 to fulfill true visual leadership

Brett Walton: "Final Fantasy XIII pre-orders hit 475,000 units this week, with over 70% of those for the PS3 version. For week one sales, I don’t expect the split to be quite as strongly in favour of the PS3 version because whereas a lot of loyal Final Fantasy fans (the kind who would pre-order) will be PS3 owners, the more casual buyers will be more evenly split between consoles, as well as the Xbox360 bundle that is being offered and heavier advertising for the 360 version. For week one sales, I’d estimate around 400,000 on PS3 and 250,000 on Xbox 360."

The PlayStation3 exclusive ´Heavy Rain´ is likely to turn the tide for the console, which has been trailing its competitors up until now. The installed hardware base is now within close range of the Xbox360 and – if buyers perceive a better line-up of games – could be set to overtake it this year…

VGArabia: X10 gave us a good look for what to expect of the Xbox360 this year. With games such as Halo: reach, Alan Wake, Splinter Cell: Conviction, and Fable 3, you can see that the Xbox360 lineup is far more stronger in 2010 compared to last year. And if Microsoft’s Aaron Greenburg recent statement that X10 is "just a glimpse" of this year’s lineup is true, I think it will make things even harder for Sony’s PS3 to catch up with the Xbox360.

VGArabia: 2010 will be a critical year for both of Sony and Microsoft. In fact, it might be the year that determines the winner of the HD war. Exclusive games, cutting prices and releasing new peripherals are some of the strategies those companies will be using to attract consumers.
