Xbox360 Kinect Rumored Games Including Assassins Creed And Halo

Assassins Creed
Halo
Splinter Cell
Prince Of Persia
Ghost Recon
These are 3 of the most popular games by Microsoft and it is rumored that these could all be coming out for Kinect!
According to "WHOis," a domain registration site, Microsoft registered a domain called KinectHalo.com some time last year. This could easily be proof that there is going to be Halo on the Kinect, I think it would be most likely to be a Halo Wars sequel because I'm unsure how they would do anything else, but nothing has been officially announced just yet.

Next is Assassins Creed and Splinter Cell, and the other games on my list, all of these are made by Ubisoft. And just last month the company were "considering Kinect adaptations for all there major platforms." It was also quoted that "we can propose Kinect versions of all the brands that we have got, but at the end of the day it's down to the production team. We can't promise anything yet. But we will have something for everything, we can assure that!" So to me it seems quite likely that the Kinect could be getting a number of these games and possibly many more, news will be released by Microsoft in the upcoming months. I sure hope that Kinect doesn't kill these games off thought for that would be terrible.

Micheal Phelps - Push the Limit

The newest confirmed release for Xbox Kinect is a swimming game which stars 14 time Olympic medalist Micheal Phelps.
The game involves Micheal Phelps helping to coach the newest upcoming swimmer, the player. The player will have to move there body and perfect there stroke technique to become the best on the wireless console, and eventually if you have perfected your swimming you can then challenge the great Micheal Phelps for a race.
Push the limit is about mastering and improving everything, from controlling your adrenaline before the race to perfectly timing the finish of your race.
"this definitely isn't your typical video game" says Phelps. (but then again he is bound to say that, trying to advertise the game more so he can get more money)
The game is due out in June 2011 and i think will be just another very similar Kinect game, but hopefully I will be proven wrong!

What Does The Future Hold For Halo?

Microsoft's Major Nelson has said that there will be a new add-on for Halo Reach coming out "very soon."

He didn't give any further details but it's likely to be more multi player maps. It's rumoured that it is very likely that there will be more info soon, possibly tonight.

There is also a rumour that there are going to be at least two more map packs for Reach by Bungie but this source is unreliable.

And earlier this week it was revealed that Microsoft has purchased an online domain which hints at a future Halo Kinect project. But at the time most of what's in store is guess work, but there will be regular updates and we shall keep you informed.

Gears Of War 3

Gears Of War 3 is going to be released for Xbox360 in Autumn of 2011. It was supposed to be released on April the 5th but had to be pushed back a bit.
The beta version comes with the Bulletstorm game epic edition. This will cost the same as the normal version of Bulletstorm and is available on Xbox360, PS3 and PC. The bundle will be out on the 25th of February in Europe and 3 days before in the USA.

Gears of War 3 Beast Mode.

Without playing the beta version there is little that can be said about Gears of War 3, but there is a small amount of game footage and a few trailers that we can watch to get a bit of information about the game. It looks to me like there could be some elements of Halo in there from the Dust to Dust trailer (which is a classic Gears of War trailer that you should check out) The trailer shows a big monster pop out of the ground and kill some lambent (the aliens your fighting) this reminds me of the flood in Halo which just seemed to ruin the game and annoy the gamer. But hopefully that won't happen to Gears. Also following the sequel's online gaming there has been a new addition of a game mode called "beast mode." This is where you seem to be in control of the monsters from the campaign. But still this is shrouded in mystery, I guess we will find out more when the beta edition is out in February, be sure to stay tuned to find out the latest information about GoW3.

Black Ops Patch 1.06 Outrage!

So you may well know that the Black Ops patch, version 1.06, was released for PS3 today. And there was an outrage when this image was found on the PS3 console for search and destroy. The image was brought up on a forum not too long ago, it shows that when you go to play search and destroy it says "No Xbox LIVE party chat."
Well I don't think the Play station community wanted Xbox LIVE party chat on Search and Destroy anyway.
But none the less this aggravated a lot of PS3 console owners and even some PC gamers. They said that there systems were used "to test the patch and then they focused on the Xbox360." People were outraged that Activision would take up such biased ways.
I for one think this is a simple mistake and just needs correcting no need to complain really, but some people take things a lot more seriously. To be honest when I first saw this I laughed, it is very unlikely that Activision would favour one console.
If your an Xbox360 Console owner then don't worry, earlier today Phil Amaro (who worked closely on the update) tweeted that the new update will be out "shortly" for Xbox360 owners. Now shortly is a very vague term but I think we can assume that it will be available in the next 24 hours. I sure hope so, I for one am very fed up of having my kills stolen when I put somebody on last stance!

First Strike Map Pack For Black Ops.

Yes, it’s that time again! With Call of Duty’s latest instalment ‘Black Ops’ losing interest to many CoD fans, Treyarch have recently announced the release of the game’s first map pack, titling ‘First strike’ and to be honest, the name says it all. The map is set to release on 1st February for all Xbox 360 users, because of the fact that Microsoft struck a deal with Activision for the exclusive content to be on the Xbox first, which is all fair enough when Xbox users have to pay for online. There is no confirmed release date for the PC or the PS3
The map pack will retail at 1200 Microsoft points as priced by Activision. This is about $15 or just under £10. This price may seem a little too much for some; however 1 extra map is included this time around, (4 online maps, instead of the normal 3) along with the all important zombie map that will again "freshen" things up.

Discovery - An Antarctic German research station, abandoned from World War II. There are going to be lots of open ground, meaning this might be the first actual map where you can snipe effectively (not to say that you can’t snipe on a map such as Array for example) This looks like a medium/large sized map.

Kowloon – Inspired from the single-player campaign based off of Kowloon city in China. It's a rooftop map. There are lots of windows, however there is little information about this map and there are no images.

Stadium – Hockey rink in north-eastern United States. This looks like it could be a new favourite for most Black Ops players. Again, another medium sized map, with lots of visible obstacles for cover. Its believed that this is going to be one of the most attractive maps in the series to play on, simply because of the colours and buildings.

Berlin Wall – Takes place at Checkpoint Charlie. A battle between East and West Berlin. To be honest, this is a medium sized map with lots of buildings circling a courtyard, which kind of makes me wonder if it’s going to be a little bit like ‘Block’ from Call of Duty 4.

Ascension – The newest zombie map. There haven’t been any details released about this map, however the word ‘ascension’ may be able to give us a clue, it’s a mystical belief that ascension is when somebody (like Jesus) ascends into heaven. Hmmm, you may think! However there are rumours that this may be set in Dallas where the famous assassination of John F. Kennedy took place. Who knows? We’ll have to just wait and see.

Well that's all the information we have for the time being, but will hopefully get more information near the time and for any PS3 owners there will be information up here once is it is available on Xbox360, so come back in February for the full low down of the newest maps and whether they are worth the money.

Well that's all so far, hopefully there will be more confirmed releases soon, and if so I will add them to the list, if anybody wants to know about any other games or rumours feel free to comment and ill try and get back to you.

Will Halo Ever Come To PS3?

The short answer is no.
Halo is made by bungie and is run by bungie, but microsoft own its rights so that means microsoft would have to sell it, not bungie.
The likelyhood of microsoft selling the rights of halo to sony is about as likely as Gordon Brown smiling.
People buy xboxs simply because they can get halo exclusively so microsoft dont wont to lose that ability.
If sony did want to buy the rights to halo (and there are no rumours that they do, at all) then they would have to offer millions of pounds and even then microsoft would still have to accept.
So their we go, hope that answered some of your questions, please feel free to ask more questions about any gaming rumours or gaming help and tips you want to know.
Thanks :)
