But I want to watch my pirated films... I mean my backed up films... damn it! You may have heard recently that a new 360 dashboard update is in the works and it may, just may, bring USB memory support with it. A nice addition in anyone's books and one gamers with the tiny 20 gb hard drives will likely thank their lucky stars for, but what about the rest? Sure, we've got Facebook and Twitter, but Microsoft could do so much ...

The stupid box won't even fit on my shelf! We all love Special Editions because they come with lots of juicy extras, simple. Who doesn't want more of a game? But things are getting out of hand. Half the time these Special Edition boxes can't even fit on a normal shelf and even then the content itself is unimpressive and spectacularly, not that special. X360 gives you the run down of the worst offending games of recent years... 10) Assassin’s Creed II: Black ...

Watch out for the Splash Damage! Richard Ham, creative director at Splash Damage talks us through some of Brink's finer points... Multiplayer has for many people become the reason why they invest in a game, is Brink’s ambition to marry single and multiplayer a reaction to this? Actually, our fusion of single and multiplayer gaming came about for the opposite reason.  We think there are still too many players out there who love solo shooter gameplay, but never go online once they’ve finished ...

It's out there, but what is Epic planning... The likely hood that Gears Of War 3 is in the works with a possible release date of fall 2010, is just one of those things. We all know it's probably coming, but Epic are keeping tight lipped (annoyingly). That said, Gears is a formulaic type of game and one we think we can probably second guess, so here we go, here's the top three things we think we'll see from Gears 3... 1. Flashbacks ...

10) Marcus Fenix – Gears Of War Despite being an absolute brute of a man, Delta Squad's leader has the last name Fenix. Not Phoenix, but Fenix. Man, that’s cool… 9) Joanna Dark – Perfect Dark This is supposed to sound like Jeanne D'Arc, but... that doesn't really work, now, does it? At last! A silly name for a Rare character that isn't ironic. 8.) Edge ...

Gaming is moving into 3-Dimensions, is the industry ready? With Avatar landing a huge nine Oscar nominations and taking the movie industry by storm (currently the biggest film of all time) 3D is the next big thing. With Avatar: The Videogame making a substantially smaller splash, is the industry ready for 3D gaming? We talk to Avatar: The Videogame's executive producer Patrick Naud to find out a little bit more about 3D and how it's going to revolutionise gaming in the future... What ...

The worst 360 games of all time... ever... so far Someone had to do it, we take a look back at some of the lowest scoring 360 games we've ever had the misfortune of putting in our disc drives. Together with our sister site Nowgamer.com, we bring you some of the worst games we've ever played... Fusion Frenzy 2 "Even with online play, we really can’t recommend Fuzion Frenzy 2 on any level. The mini-games are poor, the AI is medically insane ...

With news regarding Halo: Reach literally pouring out of the Internet, it's safe to say that Bungie's evolved combat series is as popular as ever. Despite critical success cooling with each subsequent release, the Halo franchise has arguably gone from strength to strength. Now, with it's own online portal giving gamers direct access to Halo content, Waypoint is the first of its kind. X360 caught up with 343 Industries franchise development director, Frank O’Connor and lead producer Jason Pace to find ...

As is my wont, many hours were spent over the weekend getting up to speed on the areas that are inevitably neglected during busy periods such as, well, the end of last year…

Last night, I found myself venturing back into Ubisoft's 2008 attempt at rebooting the Prince of Persia franchise, which, while being well-received across the board by critics, seems to elicit nothing but angry stares whenever I mention it around the office. Perhaps this is a reaction to my grotesque appearance; perhaps they didn't give it a proper go.

What better time to recount five of our favourite snow-based titles?

It's time 2010 started showing itself to be a better year than 2009! As the year slowly starts building up momentum it's to take a look at some of the lesser known titles that may or may not be worth getting excited about. Stepping straight into that category is Inversion, a game that looks like a cross between Psi-Ops and Crackdown with maybe a pinch of Gears thrown in. That may sound like a great idea but the story is as cliched ...

Rather than starting the year with a post about what budget Live Arcade title will drop from that great orifice in the sky this week…

Way more important than you think... It's one of the longest running traditions in gaming and one everyone will immediately recognise, but box art can range from truly stunning to down right awful and it often has nothing to do with the game itself. Apart from the ever decreasing need for game's manuals (which is a real crime) the box art found on shop shelves is often the first point of contact many will have with a game and as such it ...

Really? Should we be excited? As movie games go, we all know the drill. Big movie comes along with a big name new actor and then as if by magic... cue videogame tie-in. Perhaps we shouldn't be too pessimistic, though it's hard not to be. This is looking like a God Of War style mash'em up with lots of mythical beasts and what not. Chances are though, this will fail to live up to ...
