Thanks to Tied The Leader, we have a great video showcase Halo Reach's new mode "Invasion".

In case you didn't get the memo, the original xbox live servers shut down on April 15th. There were quite a few folks who jumped on Halo 2 to get some games in before the shutdown. One thing we saw that was very interesting is the messages the bungie crew posted pre and post games. You can read them below:

Its been a while and many have been trucking away at the original Xbox live service. But today marks only a few hours where we will pay our respects and say so long to the original Xbox live. Ever since 2002 we as a community have been playing some of the best games on Xbox live: Crimson Skies and Halo 2 to name a few but now the time is nigh where Microsoft will make a shift to brings us bigger and better content on the current Xbox live service. If you have titles that are still playable on the original Xbox Live service then pay your respects tonight and play something as we count down the hours until the switches are flipped. It is a sad day for original Xbox Live gamers but a great day for things to come. Be encouraged.

If you still like to play Halo 2 check out Xlink or XBconnect to help you with your grieving.

Well if you watched Jimmy Fallon Last night (This early Morning) you saw a few things. First of you saw a bearded Dom (guess he didn't have time to shave) and then you saw a shaved Marcus (sweet) and then you saw a female Cog?

Some say that everybody is doing it. Guys do it and girls do it. Some even do it together while others watch them do it. Some are dominator, some go solo while many call for assistance. As weird as the previous sentences sound, we are still talking about a game; and that game is Modern Warfare 2. Check the video after the break but bare in mind that it does have sexual themes, innuendos and language.

According to Fourzerotwo's tweet a New Modern Warfare 2 playlist update is LIVE. It added the First Person Team Tactical (4 v 4) playlist.

So, you purchased the Modern Warfare 2 stimulus package on the first day of release. Congratulations, you will get you current xbox live subscription extended for 7 days. You're happy aren't you? You should be!

According to the recent interview with Kotaku Bizzare Creations lead designer Gareth Wilson says that the developers ran out of keys much quicker than they anticipated and because of this they will open the beta to all Xbox 360 owners next week. The Blur Multiplayer Open Beta Demo will give you access to some of the game's multiplayer. Gareth also mentioned that because of time contraints it was difficult to do a demo on both the PS3 and Xbox at the same time. For our PS3 neighbors, check out the video after the break.

When it comes to Modern Warfare shorts, there is only one name that comes to my mind and his name is One. One is very talented at was he does in producing this shorts. My only problem with his shorts is that I wish they were longer. Enjoy!

On March 30th, the day where the mapathy symptoms were supposed to go away it seemed that the very servers that would contain and support the Modern Warfare 2 stimulus package have failed us all; mostly. I took the time to download my package first thing on Tuesday and let the whole day pass believing that there would be challenges and boy talk about challenges! Based on the reports and twitters from all over the world this was an epic fail. Here are some of the challenges that some faced:

From what I have gathered Halo Reach's ranking system will be slightly different from the previous halos and will look more like a time vested system a la Modern Warfare-ish. Here's some info from the recent bungie update:

Rank - Rank as you knew it in Halo 3, is dead. The concept of Rank has been revamped and divorced entirely from Trueskill (more on that in a few paragraphs) and the concept of EXP (at both the Global and Playlist levels) has also been discarded. 

In Halo: Reach, Rank is a global, cross-gameplay-mode-encompassing representation of the time you've spent in the game. So whether you're a Campaign-only guy, or a Matchmaking-only girl, or you swing both ways, you're going to be seeing that Rank advance as you keep playing.

Rank will increase over time as players earn more Credits. Credits are the lifeblood of the Player Investment system and they can be earned in all of Reach's gameplay modes, through a number of systems. 

Finishing games and Winning Games in Matchmaking - For the purposes of the upcoming Public Beta, this is going to be a significant source of earning Credits. There are very clear constants in the ways that Credits are earned in Reach across game modes and at the heart of those constants is Time. In the long run, the majority of Credits will be earned from this bucket.

Commendations - Commendations are persistent, aggregating awards that will advance through gameplay. When players are progressing Commendations, they're going to be earning Credits - and when Commendations reach milestones, players will earn a bunch of additional Credits. Most importantly, Commendations serve as virtual scouting reports with information on what type of a player someone is, what weapons they use and what tricks they bring to the table. Commendations in matchmaking won't aggregate specific actions - like say, a Sniper Headshot - but instead, a Headshot. The Beta will have a small subset of Commendations at very limited levels of completion.

Challenges also contribute to Credit earn (among other things), but there's a question coming up about those later, so I'll save it.

Achievements - Spoilers! There will be Achievements in Reach and completing an Achievement will give you some small amount of Credits.

And more...

It is unfortunate but it is true and although the account was restored again to its rightful owner (Major Nelson), his account was recently hacked and youtubed. Please be mindful that this vid contains explicit language. Check it out after the break.

The new  Sonic is looking lovely. I cant wait for it to come out. It's been a while since Sonic had a game out. At least it feels that way. For more screens go here.

I went to the XBLM and saw a listing about MW2 and It read like this:

The best-selling Xbox 360 game of all-time just got bigger, with more epic multiplayer content, first on Xbox LIVE! The Stimulus Package delivers 5 additional action-packed multiplayer maps featuring a variety of locations: "Bailout," a multi-level apartment complex; "Storm," an open industrial park littered with heavy machinery; "Salvage," a snowy junkyard fortified by stacked debris and crushed cars. Two legendary fan-favorites from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare return, including "Crash," a war-torn urban environment; and "Overgrown," which features a massive dry creek bed. There are no refunds for this item. For more information, see www.xbox.com/live/accounts.

Klei and EA is bringing you "Shank".
