Created as a final project for film school, a British Columbian film student by the name of Anthony Bortolussi has put together an amazing Xbox720 ad that Microsoft should be begging for. Sure the video itself doesn’t actually advertise the Xbox or any of its games and peripherals, as it’s actually just a fun short. Never-the-less it captures the spirit of video gaming brilliantly, while being funny, Geeky, and filled with beautiful women. Can anyone truly ask for more in an online short film?
Sure to turn a few heads and spark a few comments about whether or not this really More >

Mar 20th
Xbox fans have been scrounging the internet for new information regarding the new “Xbox 720″. Gamers also hoped that the “new” Xbox would be unveiled at this year’s E3. Unfortunately, Microsoft has said on Monday that it won’t be discussing any new hardware upgrades for the Xbox. The company plans on focusing their attention on games, music, and other entertainment.
Nintendo, however, will be showcasing the Wii U, the successor to the Wii, at E3 in June. Unlike the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3, the current Wii doesn’t offer high-definition graphics, so it’s only common sense that they would upgrade More >

XBL ‘Indie Games’ Rises from the Deep
Feb 20th
A Microsoft redesign of the Xbox Live dashboard in November last year buried the Indie Games section deeper beneath the surface, stoking criticism of the platform for holding back Indie game development. Last Friday, however, Microsoft reversed course. It is as yet unclear whether this change was in response to customer feedback, or pressure from Indie developers, though it’s timing with the console-denouncing Gamesradar.com article is suspiciously perfect.
The decision to return XBL Indie Games to a more prominent location is certainly a positive step for Indie developers (and their audience), even if it does come across as more of a re-instatement of More >
