Halo Wars will never make the journey from console to PC, according to the game’s lead developer. We spoke to Ensemble’s Graeme Devine at a Microsoft press event last week, and enquired about the possibility of a port in the near future:
“Zero. Never. I’m going to go on the record and say never ever! Microsoft may go and announce it, but I’ll say never.”
Devine went on to stress that the forthcoming RTS has been designed with console gaming in mind, and that this where the game will stay.

During his keynote at the 2008 Tokyo Game Show, Microsoft’s John Schappert announced that beloved fighting franchise Tekken would be making the leap to the Xbox 360 in 2009 with Tekken 6. The Xbox 360 version will feature the Bloodline Rebellion update that recently went live in Japanese arcades, which introduces two new characters, Alisa Boskonovich and Lars Alexanderson. This marks the first time the series has appeared outside of a Sony, and while it isn’t an exclusive, Tekken 6 with Xbox Live multiplayer is a major boon for 360 owners around the world. Look for it next fall.

Sick of pulling your hair out over this error? OK folks the fix is easy and the short answer is, this is a standards compliance and implementation issue. The fast fix is, use Flock. Flock is a new version of the FireFox/Netscape web browser and it’s designed for use with Web 2.0.
Problem solved! Who does YouTube think they are anyway Microsoft?
If you are ademant about not using a really great new web browser then you could try to download the latest version of Flash and rebooting your network router etc. too, that might help. Also make sure that none of your systems are spamming your network by running a free online virus scan from places like pandasoftware.com.
Microsoft’s officially announced price cuts to the Xbox 360 in Europe: Arcades will now go for $230, 60GB Pros for $303 and 120GB Elites for $410, representing between 10% and 18% price cuts. It’s part of an MS strategy to “open up the ultimate in high-definition gaming and entertainment to an even wider audience” apparently, and that’ll also include a new Xbox Live experience in the Fall. It’s also clearly part of a “lets try and sell lots in the upcoming holiday season” strategy.
