Going Once Twice Sold!!!!!!!!
How much is your time worth? Well coming up in May we will find out what the going rate will be. When Forza Motorsport 2 hits the selves in a few months, the game will have a feature that allows you to sell and buy cars for in-game credits as well as trading your tricked out rides. The team at Turn 10 wanted to fuel the creative juice of racing fans by giving them an in-game marketplace to share there creation with the rest of the gaming world. From what I can tell, making a car in this game is a delicate matter. Each piece added or tweeked will react with other items, mods and upgrades you have on it. In other words it’s not just for looks. Your engine, tires, spoilers, shocks, and so on makes a big difference on how your car will react. One pair of shocks my work great on a Super GT Supra but could throw everything out of shape on a Yugo (I joke)-on a Honda NSX-R. So the more you know about high performance race cars the better suited you will be to build your cars. I think I will be hitting the auction house to buy not sell. Auction House in Forza Motorsport 1- Create online auctions and sell your customized rides for big bucks, Dictate the terms of your sale by setting price, length of auction, instant buyout amount… even spend a little cash to mark your auction as a “featured” sale! 2- Bid and outbid others for the hottest cars on the market. Since no two cars are alike, even the most common vehicles have unique value and worth. 3- Auction House gives both car tuning experts and adept livery painter’s purpose as they can now build up in-game wealth through selling their masterpieces online. 4- The ability to hide car setups online turns tuning into a hot commodity. 5- The ability to lock paint-jobs to their respective cars makes these customized cars truly one-of-a-kind. 6- Every vehicle comes with exhaustive car history data, including total distance and time driven, total winnings, total cost of repairs number of races, number of owners, number of times sold, and more. 7- Every vehicle sold will also come with all its extra (and stock) parts in the trunk.

RedOctane Blames MS for No Wireless Guitar
In a recent audio interview with Ted Lang-Producer for Guitar Hero II, XBL Radio fills us in on what we can expect from the 360 version of GH2. While Microsoft’s rendition of the rockin’ title is rolled up with exclusives like Download Content and Leaderboards, the most obvious and expected feature has been left behind. It seems like Microsoft, well-known for reaching out and listening to the gaming community, is holding out on what the gamers want this time around. Many GH fans would be happy to pay the premium price for a wireless guitar, yet they won’t have one to buy at launch. Maybe Ted was worried it would turn out like the wireless headset? In that case… nice move! -Rust. If you missed the interview, Right Click and save this audio. Or you can catch it on XBL Radio Podcast version 37.0 (Feb 27, 2007) - the interview with Ted Lang begins on minute 58 of the full show.
“The main thing is, Microsoft holds on tightly
to their patented wireless technology.”

No GRAW for U
Thats right if you live in Mexico and you want to play GRAW 2 you might have a hard time finding this game. According to Juarez newspaper the governor of the Mexican state of Chihuahua has ordered the seizure of all copies of the latest version of GRAW (Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2). Gov. Jose Reyes Baeza Terraces decided to take action after he caught word of what Juarez Mayor Héctor MurguÃa Lardizábal had to say about the game. Calling it “a crime against the intellectual capacity of Juarez residents”. This is not the first time Tom Clancy has pitted his crew against the Mexican in the last GRAW the ghost were fighting against our brothers from the south of the boarder. I am surprise it took so long for the !@#% to hit the fan with this game, considering that one of the biggest political topic of today is the border as well illegal immigrants here in the United States. While I know this is just a game (a good game at that) I am able to see where some people would have a problem with this game. I mean what have our brothers form the south of the border done to us? What do you think?

The First Arcade title to pass 50 mb.
My question to you is does the fact that this game is about 95.5 mb make it a better game, or is this just a retro game that should have a wooden stake put through it?
Recreated and enhanced for Xbox 360™, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is better than before with enhanced graphics, new achievements, and Xbox Live® leaderboards. Years ago, Richter Belmont faced the nightmare creature Dracula in what was supposed to be the final showdown to rid the world of his evil. Instead, Dracula’s castle has once again risen from the mists to threaten the safety of the world. Alucard, a mysterious figure with his own motivations, has taken it upon himself to enter the new castle, confront the evil, and attempt to destroy Dracula once and for all. With swords and magic, he must face hordes of undead demons who will attempt to stop him from harming their master. Unknown allies also await Alucard to help him in his journey. Can Alucard uncover the full truth behind the source of Dracula’s power?
