http://www.thexug.com/content/view/4318/228/
Yesterday MLG's Commissioner, John Nelson, sent shockwaves through the Halo 3-community as he announced that Final Boss had dropped Walshy from their roster. Apart from the OGRE-twins, Dave 'Walshy' Walsh is one of the best (and most succesful) Halo-players to ever touch the XboX-joypad.

Planned to be released in early October, Fable 2 is the latest title from Peter Molyneux. Loved for his fantastic games in the past, and hated for his hyped titles that couldn't live up to people's expectations in recent times, Molyneux promises that Fable 2 is going to be his...text/html2008-07-22T12:17:05+01:00http://www.thexug.comNo All American CGS-Final this season

Microsoft just put out a major update to their release-dates, and it seems like October and November is going to be saving-months for me; or heavy XboX-action-months atleast.

The nice folks over at Kotaku.com were ever-present at the E3, gathering as much information as they possibly could. Now, they didn't only drink and party (http://kotaku.com/5025216/kotakus-e3-party-great-success), they were actually working too.That has resulted in three video-interviews with some of the top dogs at Microsoft.

If you haven't checked out Fable 2 yet, there is now more reasons to do it. The first game was not only a good RPG, it was a fantastic RPG, and showed the huge potential that the consoles have in that genre. The successor takes place 500 years after the...text/html2008-07-21T11:57:30+01:00http://www.thexug.comTriggers Down: Thank you Mackeo

For those Halo-players who have lived under a rock the last month, Triggers Down are the new (and winning) kids on the block. As the team won at MLG Orlando, they became the 4th team ever to take down a Halo championship in MLG.

Before consulting the porno-industry (http://machinist.salon.com/blog/2007/07/30/porn_dvd/) , Microsoft decided to include the HD-DVD as the highdefinition-drive in XboX 360. Let's just say that it was a bad idea. As HD-DVD lost the format-war to Sony's Blueray, the XboX-ownwers were pretty much left alone in the desert.
