More on Xbox 360 backwards compatibility – Joystiq -www.joystiq.com ( http://www.joystiq.com/entry/1234000137046044/ )

By now we%u2019ve all heard that the Xbox 360 will support %u201Cmost top selling Xbox games%u201D. And in truth, we%u2019re willing to bet that most of the entire catalogue for the Xbox will run on the 360. Basically, it%u2019s been worked out so that the 360 will emulate the original Xbox to an extent that all single layer games will be supported. For popular multi-layered games, Microsoft will install a number of patches on the preloaded hard drive and has promised to release more depending on the level of demand.

I’m just testing some code updates and a hacked out Mozilla Firefox ( http://www.mozilla.org ) plugin. More code updates of the next couple of days (maybe). And some more game goodness tomorrow.

Opps on the post php. Testing rebuild…

Halo 3 Sneaks Into Radar News for Xbox 360 on GamePro.com ( http://www.gamepro.com/microsoft/xbox360/games/news/45732.shtml )

Microsoft has been uncharacteristically reticent about its big-name franchise; the only bits of information have been from Bill Gates, who said to Time Magazine, \”it\’s perfect …the day Sony launches, and they walk right into Halo 3.\” Microsoft has since quashed that statement, saying that the release date has not been pegged down.

Platform: PC, Xbox, and PlayStation2
ESRB Rating: Mature
Release Date: Q3 2005

In other Cthulhu game news it seems ‘Destiny’s End’ will have the multiplayer co-op that was cut from ‘Dark Corners of the Earth’ ( http://rpgvault.ign.com/articles/614/614317p1.html ). I saw some video of them giving a demo of it and it looks great! Just plugin the second player and join the game. Unplug when done and it auto switches back to one player. I can’t remember the video link so go Google for it. Anyway, g’dnight.
