NEW XBOX RUMOURS!
Last week was a really big week for rumours of the new xbox, Some of the hardware going into powering the device was leaked this week.

Six times as powerful

This is reported  by IGN so thanks to them, the new Xbox will feature AMD's Radeon tech powering its graphics. Specifically, the system will feature hardware similar in juice to the Radeon HD 6670, a chipset that offers DirectX 11, multidisplay output, 3D, and 1080p HD output with a market price around $79.99.

What this essentially means is that the system will offer raw processing power that is six times that of the Xbox 360, and 20-percent more powerful than Nintendo's upcoming Wii U. Also according to Scott's sources, dev kits based on the final configuration will be in the hands of developers in August.

Blu- Ray

As we know Blu-Ray is a very big feature at the moment being the latest craze, well its rumoured that Blu-Ray will be arriving on the new xbox which will vastly improve the xbox's capability.

No Used Games?

 

This is something that I'm unhappy with, the rumor is unconfirmed at this point, as are any specifics of how Microsoft would be able to prevent used games from working on the platform. Im sure many like me would be unhappy with this feature due to people like me wanting to get a game slightly cheaper will no longer be able to do so.

 

No More Microsoft Points?

Many gamers find Microsoft Points to be a system that almost always results in unused points and "spare change" that can't be used on anything else. This system has worked on platforms such as the Playstation 3 so this could be a change for the better

Feel free to comment on thoughts over these rumors and please feel free to also follow this blog to help the nation grow thanks again!

Sorry guys still quite ill not really up for making a blog but I will give you something to think about which is what do you think graphics will be like in 1ike in 100 years time do you think there will be much advancements or do you think gaming has reached its limits?

FINAL FANTASY XIII - 2

The predictable and highly anticipated sequel to the blockbuster Final Fantasy XIII, is close to release. Only a couple of days ago did Square Enix release a prerelease demo for XIII-2, so I decided to kill some hours and have a try at it over all I was impressed with it definitely an improvement over the last final fantasy 13 which personally I didnt enjoy very much but I may just invest in this game if I do I will be doing a full review on the game on my thoughts.
The new game comes out with a mountain of goodies depending on what edition you buy, if you pre-ordered the game and where you are in the world. These range from: a four disc soundtrack, a concept art collection, a one-disc soundtrack, six postcards, replica large-print art of Lightning, a t-shirt, lithograph cards, a novella, and the game itself.

Feel free to leave a comment if you are going to purchase this game and which edition you get!
Thats all from me people till next time!

This post contains spoilers for the first half of season 2 of The Walking Dead do not read on if you havent seen it and want to see it!

Sorry but today is gonna have to be a quick one seeing as though I am really ill right now but hopefully I will be back soon posting more. Anyway for today I thought I would give a quick blog on something non game related which is the walking dead. I can not wait for the second half of season 2 to begin again I was quite surprised at the ending of the first half since it turned out Sophia was a zombie (Spoiler!)  I really did not expect this at all but I really was thrilled with the ending of the first half. I have to admit I thought the first half in places did drag on a little but the ending really made up for it leading to my main discussion of where will this second half go? what will happen to the group of survivors we know and love? There is only one way to find out which is by tuning in 12th of February!

So thats all from me today I'm afraid but I hope to speak again soon bye!

Hi guys just thought I would post this topic about halo withdrawal, it may be dawning on you that we still have to wait god knows how long for Halo 4. I for one cant wait to see these new enemies we are fighting, how they will develop the Halo universe and many more points that there is just too many to write down in this short post of mine but hopefully in the coming months we may get some info on Halo 4 the sooner the better!

Till next time peace out!

MINECRAFT LEGO SET OFFICIAL

Yes thats right people you heard me correct! It has been decided to go on with the plans for the minecraft lego set I for one cant wait to see what they come up with!

My first post will be my thoughts on the Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning demo. I saw this game and to be honest I did not think much of it when I took a little glance but playing this demo I can see there is some potential within the game, it has all the basic mechanics you would expect from a fantasy genre game such as being able to play as the iconic thief, Mage, Warrior and archer which surprisingly in the demo you get to expirience all of these and I have to say they all work really well. Unlike most other RPGs you actually can play all these roles at the same time the only other good example of this I can think of is the Fable series which infact the combat in both does have some similarities but apart from all this the demo doesnt offer much else apart from some mindless killing and gaining some minor loot.

 I cant say what the gameplay will be like later on in the game but as I said before this has potential to be a good game download it see what you think. Something else mass effect fans will be happy with is you will recieve some armour and a weapon for playing this demo so thats a good reason to download it anyway and check out this game. So I hope you have enjoyed my first post and please keep following this page as it will help my blog grow!
