Capcom has announced today that the demo for Steel Battalion Heavy Armor is now available on XBOX Live. This game is exclusive to XBOX 360 consoles that have Kinect in them, so if you have the motion sensor technology, you will probably enjoy it. With Steel Battalion Heavy Armor you experience the true feeling of war by taking control of a Vertical Tank and getting introduced to your fellow crew members in the first two levels of the game.
If you ever played the True Crime series back on the PS2 and the original XBOX days, you might be interested in Sleeping Dogs. This game is going to be in Hong Kong and in the video up top you will get to see all the awesome details on what you can expect to see in the open world-sandbox game. The trailer also reveals a little bit of the story and from the looks of things you will get to use your environment while on combat.
The developers of Sleeping Dogs were inspired by the folks behind Arkham City when it comes to the fighting. For the racing and driving end of things, Need For Speed inspired that and after playing this game, I can clearly see that. Be sure to look out for Sleeping Dogs around the end of summer and below we have some really awesome screenshots.
There has been some major legal issues that Microsoft has been going through lately regarding their popular Xbox 360 console. So major that it may lose access to their largest audience in the world. If you haven’t been following the news, Motorola and Microsoft have been in a major legal battle over Microsoft infringing on some of Motorola’s patents in their gaming console. A US International Trade Commission judge has ruled that Microsoft has infringed upon four of the five patents that Motorola has accused Microsoft of infringing upon, which led to a ruling by the Mannheim Court in Germany that Microsoft is guilty and therefor can’t sell the console in Germany. This has been temporarily blocked due to the US court issuing a restraining order preventing Motorola from enforcing the injunction, but that may be gone soon along with the ban being applied to the states as well.
US judge David Shaw, the judge who ruled that Microsoft infringed on Motorola’s four patents, has advised the International Trade Commission to ban the imports of 4GB and 250 GB Xbox 360 consoles to the United States due to the infringing patents. If the ITC follows through with the recommendation by Shaw, then the only hope for Microsoft would be President Barack Obama reviewing the decision and overruling it within the 60 days it will take for the ruling to pass to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Court. Along with this, Shaw also suggested Microsoft post a bond equivalent to 7% of all 360 consoles currently unsold within the US. This may be steep, but compared to the 100% Motorola was asking for Microsoft should consider themselves lucky.
What made me laugh most out of this whole debacle is Microsoft’s reason for why this shouldn’t pass, stating that such a ban “would leave Sony and Nintendo the dominant force in the market”. Way to stay classy, Microsoft. Judge Shaw shared my line of logic, saying that intellectual property was far more important.
Microsoft fans may want to pay close attention to the news regarding this legal battle(and possibly be ready to write letters to either the ITC or to the Obama administration), and anyone who has been thinking about getting a 360 lately may wish to snatch one up before they may be off the shelves entirely. Movements across the world are already happening to boycott Motorola products as well. As for me, I’ll be sitting on the sideline with a bag of popcorn and using yet another dead 360 as a coaster for my cool beverage as I watch the chaos unfold.
Since the announcement of the fourth installment of “Ghost Recon” by UBISOFT back in January 22, 2009, Gamers across the globe have been itching to get their hands on Tom Clancy’s latest release of Future Soldier.

During their journey you get to experience the features Ubisoft have been tuning up for the past two years such as partially destructible environments, cool team based game play, and realistic situations like constant airstrikes that keep the ground shaking, and your mind boiling, so get in the action now on the Playstation3, Xbox360, and PC, while you still have a ground to stand on.
Super exited as we get closer to the release of one of my all time favorite games Double Dragon! One of my first impressions of the game back in 1987 (when ” Technos Japan” Double Dragon made its debut on the NES in N.America by “Tradewest”) was WOW I cant believe my friend and I can fight together at the same time and use the objects around us as weapons! Abodo never could stand up after that Barrel to the dome, but now Billy and Jimmy Lee have bigger problems to face. Summer of 2012 is when the new DOUBLE DRAGON NEON is expected to hit the HD big screen, and Skullmageddon “the new boss”has no problem holding on to Marian for awhile longer!
WAYFORWARD & MAJESTICO Entertainment have taken on the challenge of bringing the legacy back to life. Double Dragon Neon is an 80′s style 2-D side scroller on steroids. Billy and Jimmy look insane with their new 3-D makeover, HD graphics, and tight pants. Expect to see Double Dragon fight its way onto the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 systems this summer 2012.
