HD DVD for Microsoft Xbox 360 coming this November

Software company Microsoft has said that they would be launching the much-anticipated HD DVD drive add-on for its Xbox 360 console in November.

This drive is expected to be available for the Xbox 360 in Japan starting November 22. It is expected to be priced around ¥19,800 (US$168).

This information was released by Takashi Sensui, general manager of the Xbox division of Microsoft's Japanese subsidiary.

This is great news for the owners of the Xbox 360 gaming console, as it would allow them to watch high-definition HD DVD video content on a compatible television set. Sensui spoke on this announcement: For those who already own the Xbox 360 system it'll cost only ¥19,800 to enjoy HD DVD. That's by far the most affordable solution for those people."

This drive would help Microsoft challenge the upcoming competition from Sony, which has included the competing Blu-Ray format drive in their upcoming Sony Playstation 3 gaming console also scheduled for launch in November.


Game makers up to challenges of creating iPod games

Game developers tasked with creating the first full-fledged games for the iPod faced the challenges of developing for a new platform while dealing with Apple's desire to keep every detail closely under wraps. But it's a challenge the game makers were unable to resist, given the popularity of Apple's handheld music player.

"We think iPod gaming is a big opportunity," said Dave Roberts, CEO of PopCap Games, whose Bejeweled and Zuma are among the nine iPod games available for sale at the iTunes Store. Other iPod games announced by Apple CEO Steve Jobs during his September 12 presentation to the press include Tetris, mahjong, and mingolf games from Electronic Arts; Fresh Games's cube-based puzzle game Cubis 2; the arcade classic Pac-Man from Namco Networks; and a Texas Hold'em poker game and brickbashing title called Vortex developed internally at Apple.

Providence's excellent speed and stick-handling ability was apparent from the beginning of the game. Every time they won a ball on defense, the Friars quickly transitioned into an offensive mindset, with midfielders making runs toward the corner and forwards charging toward the circle.

Providence scored less than 10 minutes into the first half. A Friar defender stole the ball off a Brown inbounds play and quickly passed up the right side to midfield. PC then moved the ball into the middle of the circle and launched a shot.

Bandai Namco on

Tamagotchi was a craze that swept the world back in the early 1990s, with people eager to raise their own little virtual pets and look after them until inevitable death. Many thought we would never hear of Tamagotchi again after the hype died down. Now it has been turned into a fully-fledged videogame franchise, with its first version selling over a million on the DS in Japan alone and its sequel cracking over 500,000 units in a very short time recently. Cubed was lucky enough to catch up with Bandai Namco to chat about the series... Cubed: Please could you tell us a little bit about your background in the videogame Industry? Ms. Sanae Honma, Producer: I started out in sales visiting various retailers across country when I first entered the company. I was in charge of setting up pop stands and in-store displays.

SMF downs shorthanded Mover, Kinpachi triumphs

Samahan ng Manggagawang Filipino easily handled a shorthanded Mover team, while Kinpachi-Bank of Saipan made short work of UFO-Apollo's as the 2006 MDX Coca-Cola Cup resumed Saturday at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium.SMF took advantage of the absence of big men Dalewin Cortez, Glenn Aquino, and Eric Dalangin to rout previously undefeated Mover, 90-70. Both teams are now tied with 2-1 win-loss records.Mover went down early as human pogo stick Leo Itaas and sharpshooter Gary Cayetano took turns burning the hoop, scoring eight points apiece allowing SMF to zoom to a 29-10 lead after the first quarter.It was more of the same in the second, as Cayetano connected on three attempts from rainbow country, while drawing inside support from center Ruther Demigillo to give SMF a commanding 55-33 advantage at the half.Mover tried to make a game of it at the start of the second half, as rookie sensation Ryan Sanciango and burly Joy Dayrit combined to trim their deficit to 16 points in several occasions.But SMF was not about to let Mover get rolling and clutch shots from veterans Jun Tabora and Bernard Montano reestablished the team's dominance ahead 71-51 entering into the fourth and final quarter.It was essentially garbage time in the payoff period, but things got a bit testy when Dayrit collided with Itaas on several occasions.


Do you really need to buy new b'ball games?

When I play video game basketball, I don't want to see a storyline, any more than a viewer of adult movies wants to see story-based films. Basketball games really just need to get to the action, or I'm out. Such is the case with NBA '07.

It's ambitious. It comes with all these little cinematic scenes of you, the star player, chatting with coaches, and lounging around. But when you finally take the court, the basketball players look and move as rudimentary as they did in games many years ago.

This is too bad. NBA '07 for PS 2 and PSP could have given stiff competition to the other main basketball games on the market. Instead, NBA '07 plays poor, looks poor and is moderately easy. It's rated "E" (one star out of four).

As for the big dogs of the NBA games, things are looking both up and down.
