New 360 Controller, With Improved D-Pad, Officially Revealed
Posted 8/31/10 12:54 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in News, Tech, Xbox 360
The Xbox 360 controller is my favorite gaming controller of all time. It's certainly not the most nostalgic, or memorable, but if I had the choice to use only one controller for the rest of my life, it'd be Microsoft's. It's just so dang versatile! That said, it's not perfect. The d-pad has long been an issue, as it's not much more than a mushy wheel that lacks the sort of precision you need for 2D games and fighting titles. People have been complaining since launch about this, and Microsoft's finally stepping up in a big way.
'Dead Rising 2' Combo Weapons Guide - Duct Tape Is Your Friend
Posted 8/31/10 11:20 am ET by Russ Frushtick in Features, PS3, Previews, Xbox 360
The first "Dead Rising" featured an unexpected game element which could occupy your time when you weren't rescuing survivors or blasting the heads off zombies. Frank West, that game's hero, was a journalist (who covered wars), so he had his camera with him at all times. Taking pictures of zombies in wacky situations resulted in bonus experience points and gave players a non-violent outlet as a nice change of pace.
"Dead Rising 2" doesn't star a journalist. Chuck Greene is a former motocross champion and is a handy mechanic. These skills replace the camera in "Dead Rising 2," as Chuck is able to combine two seemingly incongruous items and make them into something awesome. Duct tape is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

Microsoft Launching Fall XBLA Series, Featuring 'Super Meat Boy'
Posted 8/31/10 9:29 am ET by Russ Frushtick in Xbox 360
Microsoft's Summer of Arcade 2010 initiative was a huge success, and it seems the publisher will be bringing the same idea to the fall with Game Feast, featuring four high-end XBLA titles. Three of the titles are currently unknown, but I can speak to the fourth title, "Super Meat Boy," a game which I've been anticipating for a long, long while. The insanely hard, insanely inappropriate, insanely awesome 2D platformer is coming to XBLA on October 20 for 1200 MS points (or $15).
'Tron: Evolution' Joins The Collectors' Edition Club
Posted 8/30/10 6:30 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in 3DS / DS, News, PC, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360
Rounding out a Monday that has seen an "Epic Mickey" Collectors' Edition announced and a "Far Cry 3" Collector's Edition either imagined or leaked, "Tron: Evolution" has decided to throw its hat in the ring and reveal its own deluxe set that comes crammed with a light cycle collectible from Sideshow Collectibles and a display case, judging from the images that Disney distributed.
