No doubt everyone has their own hopes and preferences for any new map content but if some sources are to be beleived three of the first maps due soon will already be familiar to people who have completed the single player campaign. The following images have surfaced which are purported to be of the multiplayer loading screens in-game as the match begins.Full details after the jump> General Content - Xbox 360 Wed, 20 Feb 2008 03:40:05 +0100 http://www.theabovedomain.com/cms/content/view/335/ A downloadable demo for Sega's 'The Club' is due to arrive on Xbox Marketplace today and it’s going to be a staggered launch for all of the Xbox Live regions. To our amazement, Europe and Australia will be the first regions on the release list and will be receiving the demo anytime now hopefully. The demo is set to feature: The Prison environment; a disused crumbling, tomb-like Federal Penitentiary, lying in a remote region of one of the less glamorous Rustbelt states. One playable character exclusive to the Xbox LIVE® Marketplace version of the demo (Renwick, a tough, no nonsense, NYPD Detective whose investigations brought him too close to The Club™). Single player modes ‘Sprint’ and ‘Time Attack’. Multiplayer split-screen.

This included our largest sign-up of new members to Xbox LIVE in our 5 year history and just yesterday you broke the record for the single biggest day of concurrent members ever on the service. As a result of this massive increase in usage we know that some of you experienced intermittent Xbox LIVE issues over the holiday break. While the service was not completely offline at any given time, we are disappointed in our performance. I would like to take this moment to thank you each and every one of you for your patience and understanding as our team has worked around the clock to return the service to a stable state. At the same time we would like to offer a token of our appreciation to all of you in celebration of record success for the service. And as a thank you for your loyalty during this holiday period, we will be offering all of our Xbox LIVE members around the world access to a full Xbox LIVE Arcade game that will be available to download free of charge. In the coming weeks we will be sharing the specific details of this offer with you. Thank you again for helping make Xbox LIVE everything that it is today!

Microsoft does it again! You bunch of dumb **** I was happily pwning noobs in Halo 3 this morning when I had to take an urgent phone call. When I got back my console was downloading the new Fall update. After 3 minutes the console re-booted and when it started I got the Red Ring of Death! WTF?! Microsoft you've broked my Xbox 360! This is the fourth one I've had die in as many months! First my old premium died when I put Bioshock in the disc tray. A little sister broked my Xbox! Then when I got that back on 26th September my replacement box red-ringed playing Halo 3! Halo 3 broked my Xbox! After waiting for 2 days I finally got my third Xbox 360 only to watch it curl up and die as soon as I loaded Call of Duty 4! Infinity Ward you bunch of retards! Captain Price, you broked my Xbox 360! Now here I was happily playing Halo 3 one minute then, boom - headshot, my fourth Xbox 360 dies as I leave it alone for 5 minutes while downloading the Fall update. Dashboard Update! You broked my Xbox! I can't believe this. Four consoles in four months. I'm in the process now of contacting my lawyers to start a class action against everyone who makes stuff that breaks. I don't care that there are millions of consoles out there and that statistically some of them will unfortunately curl up and die at the most inconvenient moment just so we can blame the game/the update/the weather/your mom. It is all Microsofts fault and I demand millions of dollars in compensation for losing hours of valuable n00b pwning time on Valhalla. Whatever you do folks, don't install the new update, it will break your Xbox 360. You have been warned.

Now it's a ghost town On April 26th 1986 in the early hours the Number Four reactor at Chernobyl Power Plant, Ukraine suffered a catastrophic accident. During an experiment to test the reactor’s ability to safely run in the event of an external electrical supply outage, a tragic oversight resulted in the extreme overheating of the reactor core. A deadly steam explosion followed by a second explosion two minutes later and ensuing fire released a cloud of toxic radiation 100 times more potent than the first atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.
