Next XBOX has a HD Touch Screen controller... My thoughts.

Hi gamers!

I present another stupid rumour that's been spread around various gaming sites like IGN, Gametrailers, Gamespot and Eurogamer. Where any of this has come about is beyond all of us, just because Wii-U has a HD Tablet controller doesn't mean another company will soon follow, even if XBOX wanted to make a tablet controller there would be various amount of lawsuits...Don't you think?


We all know most of XBOX's market is the kinect more video game consoles are sold to families and so the parents would go for the most active console. So really the Next XBOX would surely have more kinect features than anything else I'm thinking.

The term "XBOX 720" has seemed to dive further down the list of titles for the next system. Now many are calling it the "NEXTBOX".

Well who knows, even though rumours this early on never match what the final is going to look like. There has been reports from Microsoft that the "NEXTBOX" won't be seen until 2013.

What's with all the rumours of this console that won't come out for another year!? Stupid game journalists, many of you have no clue what a CD-i is let alone the next XBOX. How come there isn't any rumours of the next Playstation yet?
They must be mind-mapping it still /sarcasm

Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 pick up. Tecmo physics in 1080i.

Hi gamers!

I'll have to admit I'm a Dead or Alive fanboy, it's a very gimmicky game and strongly aimed towards the male market. I remember seeing Dead or Alive: Beach Volleyball on the XBOX many moons ago, there were figures, calendars and other accessories released along with the game. Nearly every gaming magazine had one of the DOA girls on the cover (it was an excuse to put a girl wrapped in a swimsuit to sell the mag). I think I was only 8 or 11 at the time and was always *interested* in the game, I just liked the girls.. There I said it :P

A few of my friends dislike Dead or Alive's fighting engine, I have to disagree with them it's a very solid, fast paced fighter with awesome visuals (no, I'm not using the term for the girls) the game is very appealing. Even back on the Playstation 2 for Dead or Alive 2.

Anyway, I'm getting a little carried away with the Dead or Alive series and I should just say I finally bought Dead or Alive Xtreme 2.. Really didn't feel comfortable holding this game in my hand waiting in line to buy it.. *_*.
As much as I don't *really* like buying games from EB as they're kinda careless when it comes to their games (broken cases, scratched cases, bend manuals etc) their sales are sometimes worth it. Oh and DOA:X2 is in pretty good condition, only did I find that the case was a bit cracked.. Not that big-o deal, still gotta test it.

New XBOX rumours, two new systems by Microsoft


Hi gamers!

Rumours have it that there are going to be two new XBOX consoles next generation (2012). With a causal package of a XBOX 360, which is a very basic XBOX 360 in set-top box form with kinect features.



The other model will be the very new next generation XBOX with 6-core processor and 2GB RAM. GPU is unknown at this stage. It will also be running a different version of Windows 8. This is aimed for the "hard-core" gamers type at a higher price range, with a, optical drive, HDD and backwards compatibly.

It's also rumoured that we will be getting confirmations about the next XBOX at the CES show in Vegas in January 2012.

Games for the XBOX 360 will continue to come out in 2012.

XBOX 720 -- Is everyone really convinced?

Hi gamers,

It's been hitting me all of last week and this week, every single *NEXT GENERATION XBOX* entry on IGN, and other gaming sites have called the the next XBOX, the "XBOX 720". It strikes me to think that a professional gaming site calls the next XBOX the "XBOX 720" I know Microsoft wouldn't call their next system the 720. It's just too 'n00bish' if you will, don't you think?

Doubling the numeric value of the current XBOX 360 into XBOX 720 is nothing more than a stupid rumoured name, much like one of it's rivals the Wii. Rumours had it that Nintendo's next console is going to be named the Wii 2, Wii HD and Project Cafe (Project Cafe seems to be the code name for it). So I HIGHLY doubt that the next console from Microsoft will not be named the 720 even the dev-kit wouldn't be.

Well by going by the rumours of the name on the Internet I already own a XBOX 720 :P

I'm on fire :D
