For those who have been much anticipated for the new Gran Turismo 5 to be released this March in Japan, it has seem that Sony has now delayed the release of the game and will release a further update for Release date in Japan and North America. Reason for the delay is there a production related matters

Valve has released an Update for Left 4 Dead 2

Army of Two 4oth Day has been released
Rumors has been flying around wether Netflix will come to the Ninentendo Wii is has been confirmed today in New  York Times that Netflix Streaming Video servive is officially coming to the Wii. It’ll launch sometime in the Spring, and will be available to anyone with a Wii, an internet connection and a minimum $9 a month Netflix subscription. Like the PS3, Wii owners watching online movies will need to use a special streaming disc.

The Wii of course is not capable of outputting in high definition, meaning Netflix subscribers looking to use the streaming service on their Nintendo console will have their movies and TV show choices restricted to standard definition content.

The move means Netflix’s online service is now available on all three current generation consoles, making it the most unlikely of industry standards.

Modern Warfare 2 has sold over 4.2 million copies of the game around  the US, UK and Canada making it one of the most sold games in History inn it’s first week.

Xbox Live reaches to 2 Million people online at the same time

A while back I mention on an episode of the Podcast that Microsoft has been banning over 2 million users who are using pirated Xboxs. An update on that is that players will permanently be unable to re-use Xbox Live it will void the warranty

The date and location for Blizz Con 2010 has been leaked and it will be held  at Las Vegas Convention Centre on July 20 and 31st.

According to Wall Street Journal Steve Jobs is going to improve the status of apple in the gaming field. Nintendo is ruling the race for sales and consoles with selling over 30 million DS’s a year. Analyst predicts that Apple will prove to be a worthy opponent to the ‘Big Three’.

Also the New Super Mario Bros Wii which is even newer then the New Super Mario Bros on DS is out. I have to say that this is going to be one of the hottest selling Ninentendo games for the Wii. The Controls on the Wii are Brilliant and Slick. It is a great addition to the Mario Series. 4 Player Co-op is extremely fun and new levels and new items make the fun even more awesome. Oh and did I also mention it comes in a Red case. You may think it’s nothing much but it looks sweeter then the bland White covers.

Left 4 dead 2 will be coming out very soon

Recently today the new GTA Episodes from Liberty City. Episodes from Liberty from Liberty City will only be released for the 360. It includes the two DLCs The Lost and Damned and Ballad of Gay Tony. Ballad of Gay Tony is also up for download off Xbox live. There are new weapons e.g. P90 and Shawn-Off Shotguns. New Missions and new vehicles. I’m most certainly pleased with the return of parachutes allowing players to base jump like the good old days with San Andreas.

Mordern Warfare 2 themed Xbox 360. These consoles are now avlaible to be pre-ordered. The bundle includes a 250GB Xbox 360 with an exclusive Modern Warfare 2 design printed on the console, wired headset, 2 black 360 wireless controllers and of course, a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Hey Guys so I’m back and Holidays are coming up. Meaning that there will be more post from me and more of me in Podcasts. As you may know from an earlier Post from Glen made before that my internet was hacked. Here in Australia we have a cap for our internet and when we go over it is extremely slow. So a guy hacked my internet and used up my whole 10GB left for me in one day. But that was the past and now holidays are coming up giving me time to relax from exams and start posting up more news for gaming. I have recentley bought a copy of Halo 3 ODST so I will be making a review about that later on the month.  So I’m back and that means more gaming news for you.

If you love energy drinks and gaming i bet you would love to try this out. Monster Energy drinks are releasing Mordern Warfare 2 theme drinks. It you collect all 6 you will be in the draw for winning copies of Mordern Warfare 2 and also obtaining the codes for the first Map Pack.
