3 Games Coming To XBLA This Week

This week sees the release of 3 new games to the Xbox Live Arcade. The titles are Fret Nice for 1200 MSP, Greed Corp for 800 MSP and Lazy Raiders for 800 MSP.

These titles will release Wednesday and descriptions can be found below.

Fret Nice™ is a 2-D platformer that will rock your world. Control your character through funky-fresh stages to explore hidden areas, collect items, and clash note-for-note with outrageous heavy metal bosses! Rock out by blasting enemies with riff combos and creating your own sounds with each "strum" of a chord! Every playthrough offers an ever-changing sonic adventure.

Why share when you can have it all? Greed Corp is an online multiplayer strategy game in which you battle for dominance over a world once rich in resources. In order to prevail, exhaust all the remaining resources to build an army, and then use the depleted collapsing terrain to your advantage. An extensive campaign mode and multiple unlockables prepare you to take the battle online. Will you defend your territory or sacrifice it to keep it out of enemy hands? Manage the finite available resources to build your army and use the unique collapsing terrain mechanic to your advantage, all while the mist grows closer ...

Dr. Diggabone's getting too old for archaeological digs, or so he says. Truth be told, he's just plain lazy … That's where you jump into Lazy Raiders® and take control as you spin and flip mazes to send the Doctor or your Avatar on a gravity-defying quest for lost relics that would bring him instant fortune and glory. Of course you'll have to deal with greedy thieves, pesky minions, and ingenious traps along the way. If there weren't any challenges, you'd just grow lazy … and we wouldn't want that, would we?

Corrupt Xbox Live Mod!! Must See

It would appear that Microsoft have a corrupt moderator on their staff. A person going by the name of "The Pro" is abusing his power and banning people off of Xbox Live for no reason. Check out the video below.



UPDATE: Micrsofts director of Policy Enforcement Stephen Toulouse has repsonded to the video with the following;

“Yes I’ve seen the heavily edited video of The Pro. He was policing 10th prestige MW2 modding which results in gold account and console ban.”

“I did enjoy the the explanation about the audio being totally off/1 sided cause his “capture card went crazy” when its clear it was edited.”

“While I will speak to him about his tone, the audio is clearly recut to omit the threats and ToU violations the others were saying to him.”

“We try to do our job protecting the service dispassionately,” before reiterating that “[The Pro's] comments about console banning were out of context and referred to modding.”

“Case closed, thanks for bringing it to my attention!”
