Microsoft has been playing with the idea for a long time now. Since the launch of the 360, users have had the option of downloading games directly to the hard-drive. We were than graced with the addition of “Xbox Originals”, a new feature that allowed users to download full Xbox games.

For any of you who have been trying to grind your way through Rock Band 2’s World Tour or Challenge modes to unlock every song: have no fear. Patrick Klepek has revealed on the MTV Multiplayer blog that a “game modifier” code can be used to unlock all 84 of those sweet, sweet tunes that you don’t want to wait for. The code has to be input in the Game Modifiers screen:
That’s it. It’s not the easiest thing to figure out, but to be fair it is the same code from the original Rock Band. So, if you’re like me and just want to play Everlong over and over, you can now do so.
The Demo starts off with a short cut scene featuring Starkiller (that is the main character) and Darth Vader having a discussion about the upcoming mission, your final test. The key line is leave no survivors. You are Darth Vader’s secret apprentice, born Galen Marek. Your mission is to wipe the Jedi out of existence. You are the great Jedi Purge taking place between episode III and IV. With a heavy focus on cinematography during the cut scene, you can feel some of the love poured into this game; you feel the rest once you get to use the force powers.
Hey everybody, what’s up? This is something new we’re trying that helps us let you know what’s new and exciting that concerns gaming or the community. You won’t hear any news ’cause, well that’s covered on the .0 and the .5 shows. What you will hear is Marketplace content, any PSN content, games that maybe coming out in the weeks ahead that need to be mentioned, and community news. So, if you like what you hear and would like us to keep it, let us know, we’re interested in what you think and we want to provide you, the gamers with the most information we can possibly give you. Oh, and if you have any ideas for names, let us know, we just might use it…if it’s okay with you of course.
Mixed in are Contests, Contests, & more Contests (see below also)! All this and more!
