Linkin’ Park apparently has an iPhone game coming out soon.  The goal is to save the 8-Bit world from the evil PixelKorp.  Beat the game and unlock a previously never release Linkin’ Park song.  Oh, and listen to 8 bit stylized Linkin’ Park songs.   Sounds cool, literally right?  Check out the trailer below!

I made a decision a couple weekends ago that I would finally pull a title that I have not played yet off my shelves of games and pop it in.  I settled on the choice of Enchanted Arms for the Xbox 360.

When I started, I didn’t know much about Enchanted Arms.  I had traded for it a while ago on a whim.  I did know that it was an RPG and from what I had seen about it, to me it seemed very similar to Final Fantasy.  (Or at least what I associate Final Fantasy to be like since I have never actually played it myself.)

GoW 3 was announced this morning.  Coming April 8th, 2011 gamers will be able join back up with Marcus Fenix and the Delta squad as they fight to save the Human race from extinction.  Here, take a look at the teaser.

I was busy the other day, when my 360 was patched with a new dashboard that allows USB drives to be used as storage.  The news excited me since my 360′s tiny 20GB hard drive has under 1GB of space left.  However, I don’t want to have to spend money on a new device to use it on my 360.

So here is what I have: a 1GB flash drive and a laptop hard drive in an usb enclosure.

Now, the laptop hard drive is much bigger than the limitation of 16GB, but I figure I’ll be fine with it as it is almost the size of my current drive.  Also, I am curious about if the 360 will see the remainder of the drive, or if it will only mount the first partition.  My other plan is to use my 1GB flash drive as basically a memory card.  I’d really like to store my Xbox Live profile on their and allow it to be mobile.  This is of course reliant on the hope that Microsoft is allowing people to use their drives on other machines.  It shouldn’t be any different than when using an official memory cartridge.

First I plugged in my usb stick.  I went to the memory page on the system settings.  I selected my drive and formatted it.  Here is the interesting part.  It only let me use around 700MB of space.  Also, the entire drive was still readable in Windows.  Both of these things are oddities and I will have to test further.

My hard drive in a usb enclosure worked almost perfectly as far a formatting and setting it up.  However, the 360 warned me that it was slower than the recommended speed.  I suspect that perhaps my enclosure is not USB 2.0 compliant or that the drive itself is of a slower speed.  However  The Xbox 360 formatted 16GB as a maximum size.  I moved the Blur Beta Demo over to the drive and fired it up from there.  There was a slight lag in the loading, but once it was fired up it seemed to work just fine.  Of course, it was working until my drive crapped out halfway through a match.

Looks like I’ll have to retry both my hard drive setup and my flash drive setup to resolve issues with both.  Also, I’ll need to try to see if a SD card reader works as well.  I really wish I had moved my gamer profile onto the flash drive as I could have used it this weekend.  It’s just not ready if I can’t use the full space though.
