Xbox360�s greatest hit, crowned with the best Xbox360 game of its time, Halo II is still on gamers� mind. Now there is another sequel in the series named Halo III from Bungie, to rule the world. Halo III will enter Beta stage on May 16th, 2007 and the final version will appear sometimes this Fall. The game publisher has launched the new video footage of the game that shows the vigorous seven feet tall soldier Master Chief, heavily loaded with ammunitions cracking the hand grenade by his side using the new Bubble Shield device that protects him from nearby detonations.

The video shows the great shooting fantasy enclosed inside the game with pretty good graphics. Its hard to explain in text…

Cancer patient’s xbox stolen!

There�s inhumane, and then there�s despicable, but unfortunately for a 17-year old cancer patient receiving treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital, he knows all too well about both of them. A Vermont-based teenager had been suffered from osteosarcoma, bone cancer in the leg, and was �recovering from surgery� a few hundred miles away from home. Apparently, someone(s) the family actually knew broke into their home while they were obviously away, and proceeded to jack his Xbox 360 as well as �over $1,000 worth of games and DVDs� while they were at it. Local police suggest that they �do have some good leads involving current and former students at local high schools,� and while none of the culprits have been apprehended just yet, folks have been more than generous in helping Jeff return to some state of normalcy by donating funds to help with family expenses, and one individual actually dropped off a new Xbox 360 console for a local radio station to deliver.

XBOX stand owns PS3

The recent Consumer Electronics show Sony’s booth only had one playable game, which did not live up to the hype of PS3. Microsoft showcased several new titles as well as new firmware enhancements that will continue to make it hard for the PS3 to make up any ground. Microsoft has sold over 10 million consoles internationally and lead the race against Sony and Nintendo.

Kid shot dead over PS3 theft

Charl Norman — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 15:06:43 +0000

An 18-year-old North Carolina man, suspected of stealing two PlayStation 3 consoles, was shot dead by police executing a search warrant at his residence.

Peyton Strickland was gunned down in his house by deputies as he answered the door, the Wilmington Star News reports.

He was unarmed, according to witnesses. University of North Carolina police had investigated the alleged robbery, and asked the Hanover County Sheriff’s Department to assist in serving the warrant. It was a sheriff’s deputy, not a university officer, who killed the young man. The trigger-happy deputy also shot dead Strickland’s dog for good measure.

Strickland is suspected of robbing a university student of two PS3 consoles on 17 November, when they first became available. The robbery victim, student Justin Raines, was beaten and robbed shortly after paying $641 each for two consoles at a local Wal-Mart. He received minor injuries, according to police.

Ironically, University Police Chief David Donaldson had asked the Sheriff’s Department to assist in serving the warrant against Strickland “for safety reasons”.
