Console Game Player XBox and XBox 360 News

Filed under: Fan stuff

> Breaking news! Reports have been trickling in throughout the morning that Bungie’s own monstrosity that we’ve all come to know as Mister Chief has been spotted in various locations across the globe. So far, reports are telling us that Mister Chief is up to no good, doing dastardly deeds including (but not limited to) kicking the elderly, littering in dog parks and screaming at infants. We have yet to be able to confirm if these Mister Chief incidents are valid, but we can confirm that most of the reports that we’ve received are coming from Northern Africa, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Western Asia. If you are unlucky enough to cross Mister Chief’s path, please, DO NOT attempt to reason with him as all attempts thus far have resulted in children crying and cars being filled will whipped cream (don’t ask). Mister Chief is evil, stay away and be afraid!

Over the next few weeks developers are attempting to keep as much attention on their games as possible prior to the release of Grand Theft Auto IV.

Infinity Ward is no exception with an upcoming map pack for their Xbox Live hit, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The four map downloadable package includes Killhouse, Creek, Broadcast (pictured above) and Chinatown and will run gamers 800MS points when it launches on April 3 on Xbox Live Marketplace or via the Game of the Year edition set to hit retail soon.

A few days ago Game Trailers nabbed the world exclusive first look at the movie adaptation game of The Incredible Hulk and gameplay footage of the Iron Man movie adaptation game as well. Our indifference to the Hulk trailer made us completely glaze over the latest footage of Iron Man. While, so far, the game looks nice we did notice how barren the world is. We’ve seen very little outside of the desert environment and, even though they’re pretty, we’d like to see more before we decide what to think about SEGA’s upcoming movie tie-in. So X3F Army, after checking out the footage we ask you … what do you think?

Xbox.com is planning an outage tomorrow. Luckily (hopefully) this outage starts well after we finish our nightly pull, therefore your data should be ok. We will be pausing the jobs until we wake up in the morning… just to look everything over and make sure we didn’t miss anything… so your content will be delayed, but it should be captured. We will update more if anything super-funky happens… but at this point, we don’t anticipate problems…

…but we have said that before.

We’ve all made our share of mistakes while playing Halo 3. Hitting X to drop a trip mine killing your entire squad in a Warthog instead of reloading, running into a battle without grenades or forgetting to reload before you jump into a battle situation are just a few stupid mistakes we’ve all made from time-to-time. Today’s video just might take the cake as the worst mistake we’ve seen. In fact, the suicide in the video above is so ridiculous the Elite even starts to laugh as he gasps for his last breath. Set up or not, this is one of the funnier Halo 3 based suicides we’ve ever seen … or heard!
