Earlier today, the long-awaited third DLC for the popular Borderlands game made its way to the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for download. For many people, this is quite a surprise, given that there had been no formal drop date previously divulged. Nevertheless, this is a welcome release, and it evidently builds upon the successes from the [...]

Just when you thought you’d be left wondering the ol’ wuzzup with General Knoxx, there’s more information on the new Xbox achievements to be racked up in the forthcoming third DLC for Borderlands.
Oddly enough, I personally discovered this while running a simple comparison against a fellow XBL’er earlier today.

Did Treyarch jump the gun?
Not satisfied to let Call of Duty: World at War fade into the long, dark quiet of obscurity (well, that’s an exaggeration, given the intense love a lot of gamers have shown toward the title!) while Infinity Ward turns up the heat on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the announcement [...]

“Wow! Blatant commercials!”
Well, deep down, you knew it was going to happen eventually.
Given the success of Microsoft’s [MSFT] Xbox 360 and its Xbox LIVE service, as well as the apparent success of the NXE, it was inevitable that eventually, somebody over at Microsoft and the Xbox LIVE group (most likely in marketing or advertising, ‘natch) [...]

“Steve, do you know if Xbox Originals games give achievement points?”
Alas, gentle readers, the answer is unequivocally no.
Several of you have pinged me earlier this evening asking me about this, because Larry Hryb posted about this week’s Holiday Deal of the Week being the original Halo game.

In a curious twist of fate (wherein Halo 3’s Legendary Map Pack was offered as the launch offer), Bungie’s original Halo game is being offered as this week’s Holiday Deal of the Week on Xbox LIVE.
For those of you who already have the original game in its original form, you most likely won’t need this [...]
