Halo 3 Tops £84m ($170) Within First 24 hours

This Source is from BBC NEWS website, and for thoose people that don't listen to the radio or watch the news for the past 2 days they have been talking about Halo 3, mainly saying that Microsoft released this game because Xbox 360 is loosing the console war, Not sure if that is entirely true as last time i checked Sony's PLAYSTATION 3 sells weren't very high.

Anyway within the 1st 24 hrs of release, Halo 3 has sold more than £84m worth (which is $170) of games........which has even broke the record, of highest income in a day, which was previously held by the recent Spiderman 3 film.

Sonic 2 Lands on Xbox Live Today!

My Favourite game of all time (yes, there is another game i prefer more than the time crisis series), is Sonic The Hedgehog 2.

And today it just got released onto Xbox Live Arcade. The game itself costs 400 Microsoft Points (around £3.75) and comes packed with 200 archievements (which are similar to Sonic The Hedgehog 1) and also features an online 2 player battle.

The Original Sonic 2 game had 2 Player VS mode where the screen would be split in half and the 1st person to cross the finish line would win, well this mode has been carried on over onto xbox live, so now you can race with your friends.

So 400 points for a classic Sonic game and online racing, what more could you ask for? seems like a bargin to me!

Not only that Sonic 3 & Knuckles have also recently been announced for Xbox live Arcade, so it looks like PSN and Wii Store might have to bring something out the bag to keep players interested, as with online play and archievements what else could you want?

Landscape Gaming Might Be Possible on N95

November is an important month for gamers (not because Time Crisis 4 or Unreal Tournament 3), but its because its the month when the new n-gage software platform is released for the N-Series.

Many old N-Gagers are debating which N-Series device to get, whether they should get the N95 with its awesome 5 Megapixel Camera, or the N93 with its nice Laptop styled approach to gaming, or even the new "titled n-gage" N81.

Many people other the past few weeks have been debating whether or no the N95 can play games in Landscape mode, as some games like Fifa 08 and Asphalt 3 are better in landscape than portrait.

However some of us have recently found out that if you load up a game on the N95 (System Rush Demo or Snakes for example) and them slide the screen down twice, the game moves into landscape mode. So theoretically you could do the same on the new N-Gage Games, as System Rush is an N-Gage Game!!

however no one can honestly say YES or NO, until November, or unless someone gets their hands on a promo version of the games.
