Xbox.com: Ticket to Ride and Happy Tree Friends

Y’know, this seems familiar. Hmm … yes it does. While we already knew the solid release date of Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm (June 25), Ticket to Ride has been something of an unknown quantity, with not much information about the game having ever been relased to the press. However, the last time xbox.com pages appeared for unreleased XBLA games, they released exactly one week later. And with HTF:FA definitely hitting next week, we think we can say with some certainty that the electronic adaptation of the classic board game about building railroads will be hitting next week too. To tide you over until then, marvel at the screenshots below.

Grab a jellyfish, it’s a SpongeBob weekend!

Hey fanboys, did you know that we’re smack dab in the middle of a SpongeBob SquarePants Live Weekend? We were oblivious to that fact until about twenty minutes ago when a pink jellyfish knocked on our door and told us the news. No joke either, jellyfish really do talk if you’re willing to listen. So, with it being a SpongeBob Live Weekend, we’re encouraged to download a the free episode “Blackened Sponge / Mermaid Man vs. SpongeBob” off the XBVM, purchase other episodes, try the trial of SpongeBob SquarePants Underpants Slam!, purchase new spongy gamer pictures / themes and give the retail SpongeBob games a whirl. For those who can’t stand SpongeBob, his laugh or the mind control he has on tweens, then feel free to vent in the comments section. Personally, we don’t mind him. Our dishes have never been so clean.

Rumor: COD6 goes sci-fi?

To be honest, we almost feel a bit dirty posting this rumor. The game that for all intents and purposes, is COD5, is currently still being teased, and there’s already rumors about the next game? Indeed there is, thus the faintly dirty feeling. Apparently an Infinity Ward team member spoke to someone from TalkPlaystation.com and told them that the company is at work on a new sci-fi title that may or may not see reveal at E3.

With Call of Duty: World at War returning to the familiar territory of WWII, and the series’ current hit staking the claim of Modern Warfare it would seem to make sense that Infinity Ward would want to jump things into the future. If this ends up being accurate (heck, they could be working on a non-COD sci-fi game too) let’s hope Infinity Ward can do better than some other popular franchises that have used a futuristic setting. We can’t help but get flashbacks of the ill-fated Battlefield: 2142 …

MK VS DCU: Flash, Power Girl, tie-in komic & more

Well it’s been a strange project from day one, and while we were hoping that MK VS DCU wouldn’t be market-tested and exploited to death, it looks like that simply won’t be helped. A recent issue of the UK-based magazine X360 seems to confirm that the Flash, Robin (really?), Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Black Canary, Hawkman & Powergirl will all make appearances in the game. Also, the article does mention a possible two game deal, as well as DLC for the first game, hinting that they’d like you to buy even more content for this nuttiness.

Additionally, and perhaps not so surprisingly in retrospect, there was the news that the game will have a tie-in comic to go along with it. Apparently the storyline for it has been completed and contains some sort of gigantic, life changing twist. Comic fans we may be, but color us underwhelmed.

Again, just like clockwork, we bring you yet another edition of Video Marketplace Weekly where we breakdown all the past week’s new U.S. Video Marketplace movie releases. We do it because we care about you and your movie rental habits. And this week’s new releases are … well, nothing overly special, but they are new and that has to mean something. We guess a highlight could be the release of Fool’s Gold solely because it’s McConaughey’riffic! That said … we don’t see much more. Click that break link and see if you can find some gems among the new Video Marketplace releases.

PopCap promises "coolest collaboration ever"

Written by funny_genie on Sunday, June 22nd, 2008 in XBOX360 Games.

PopCap are well known for their catalog of casual games, having released a bunch of them on the Live Arcade, and even more via other release channels. So it was no surprise when in an interview with Gamasutra, both the co-founder and CEO reasserted their commitment to continuing to make games that appeal to the widest possible audience.

A surprise did come toward the end of the interview though, when it was announced that PopCap is collaborating with a company that has extensive console experience but also highly values casual games. In a fleeting moment of hyperbole, the project was described as “the coolest collaboration ever, I promise,” then pulled back to the more reasonable “I’ll maintain that it will be one of the top ten collaborations (in gaming).”

Whatever it turns out to be, if the co-fonder of the company thinks this highly of any specific project out of all the ones that PopCap oversees, it’s quite likely to be good. Or maybe this is all just marketing designed to get us to think that …

You’ve known about it for a while, you’ve been teased and now it’s finally here. Debuting on the Xbox Live Marketplace earlier this morning and now available for internet viewing is the first look debut trailer for the upcoming Call of Duty: World at War. We’ll let the trailer speak for itself, but be on the lookout for a few of barbecued bodies, body knifing, tree climbing and the occasional man who is on fire. Give the trailer a watch and tell us if you think World at War can reach the same level greatness Infinity Ward achieved with CoD4.

Bungie serves up new Cold Storage screens

Late last night as part of the Bungie Weekly Update, the Bungie gang finally acknowledged Halo 3’s Cold Storage map on Bungie.net (up until now, we only knew about it via MLG’s coverage) by releasing two gorgeous new Cold Storage screenshots of which are in the gallery below. Note the yellow juice in the right take, we speculate that it’s some sort of Flood sterilization fluid, but can’t be sure. Though, one thing we are sure of is that it isn’t lemonade. Another thing we’re sure of is that we’re super excited to get our hands on Cold Storage due to our account of fond Chill Out memories from back during the days of Halo:CE. And if you’re the numbers type, we recommend making the jump to read some very mathematical Battle Rifle analysis which includes number crunching, MS Paint diagrams and arithmetic. Did we mention bobble-heads? The Bungie Weekly Update has bobble-heads too.
