Guess what?! It seems Activision made a mistake… sadly they only supplied codes for male Avatar Gear in the Hardened and Prestige versions of “Black Ops”. Any female gamer who purchased either, would discover that she was unable to download the avatar gear promised to her.
Due to this error by Activision, any female Xbox Live Avatar can be outfitted in some Call of Duty: Black Ops virtual gear free of charge. The publisher had to quickly make two universal codes in order for females to acquire their female gear This basically allows any account with a female Avatar to nab the two outfits as long as you have the code. Thankfully, some people have shared these codes with everyone on the internet, and they are quickly making their rounds into every female gamer’s pocket.
By inputting the code GYVF8-PF7RY-28D7V-VGWV8-CFGRM into your Xbox (or online), you can acquire the “SR 71 Flight Suit”.
By inputting the code R76BQ-CR3MF-G2TTF-9G36R-BQWJD into your Xbox (or online),you can acquire the “Woods Outfit.”
Although these codes are universal, previous universal codes have expired in the past; so I suggest to snap these up as quickly as you can.
Sorry Male Gamers, these are for females only, but feel free to try and use the code you’ll only get rejected in the end (unless for some reason you are using a female avatar).
Alright folks lets step away from the call of duty for a few seconds and see what is new on the playstation store.

Only in Japan. Gal Gun is a railshooter style game that involves a male character being shot with Cupid’s arrow, which means that every girl that sees him instantly falls in love. What the objective of the game is to find your true love, and avoid all the girls affected by the spell by apparently shooting them with your pheremones. Bit odd of course.
Though there looks to be some problem in the world of Gal Gun. Andriasang has reported that the countdown that had been going on their official website has stopped. With an original release date of January 27th the game has run into some problems with Microsoft. Being a Xbox 360 exclusive Microsoft has some say about what will be happening within the game, and they have some qualms about the contents it appears.
The publisher Alchemist stated that, “Negotiations have started for the great moral cause (panties),” translated via Andriasang. This means that for some reason or another, Microsoft is concerned with the content. Though a game that contains a panic button that changes it to look like an 8-bit RPG game may have a few troubles already huh? A video preview can be seen below, though gotta admit it would be interesting to see this game with the Kinect huh?
I think everybody is aware of Black Ops launching, but one game that definitely deserves some attention is Natsume’s latest entry into the Rune Factory franchise, Rune Factory 3: A Fantasy Harvest Moon. The harvest moon/action RPG is now in stores today with many new features and an updated battle system.
Natsume released this statement in celebration of the launch:
“Rune Factory 3 delivers one of the deepest and richest gaming experiences you’ll find on the Nintendo DS!” said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO at Natsume. “You can farm, cook, craft items, battle and tame monsters, and conquer multiplayer dungeons with your friends. However you want to play, the world of Rune Factory 3 is yours to explore!”
Taking control of Micah, an adventurer who is half human and half monster, players will have to unite the humans and the Univir in time to stop the growing evil force that threatens to destroy them both. As well as collecting rare items and having fierce battles, you can also befriend villagers that will lend you their skills in battle.
It goes without saying this game is looking great and worthy of the already much loved and highly successful harvest moon franchise. Check out the trailer below and if you have a Nintendo DS this title is surely worth a second look and as mentioned, is now available.
Remember four years ago when L.A. Noire was debuted with a bit of a teaser? Neither do I but Rockstar isn’t about to let that stop it from releasing a brand new trailer this Thursday on November 11th. Rockstar has been calling this trailer the first one that they have ever released, but then again four years is a long time to go without releasing any media for a game.
It will be interesting to see exactly how different the game will appear with four years of development by Australian studio Team Bondi and set in 1947 players will be experiencing the game through the eyes of Cole Phelps, a member of the corrupt LAPD. That is of course what we knew four years ago, but what could have changed since then?
You can catch the old teaser trailer from 2006 below and stay tuned on Thursday to catch the new trailer for LA Noire that comes out sometime next year for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
If you bought the Kinect as a standalone accessory to your already owned Xbox 360 then you know that you also received a power adapter for the Kinect, since it can’t run on old 360s without it. But if you were to buy the new Xbox 360 Slim Console that came bundled with the Kinect then you will not be getting a power supply, instead it will run directly off of the console itself.
But what happens if you want to bring your Kinect to a friend’s house, but that friend doesn’t have the new Slim, or a power cord. Then you were out of luck until now because Microsoft has given people the option to purchase the power supply on its own for $35. You could buy it right now, but unfortunately it is already sold out but one can expect it to be restocked soon.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope it’s Super Kong! Or at least that is what we will be seeing if we happen to be having a lot of trouble in Donkey Kong Country Returns. Nintendo has included the Super Guide into the game to help characters when they are having trouble with a certain level, and if they are to die eight different times on one level then Super Kong will be available for use.
Super Kong, who appears as a blue tie wearing silver furred gorilla, will give players an option after their eighth death to let Super Kong help out. Super Kong will be computer controlled and will head through the level until the player decides that they want to take over. While this may seem like a cheap way to get through a level without even giving it a try, any collectibles or bananas will not be collected, nor will any secret shortcuts, or secrets themselves will be revealed. There will even be a mark on the main map in the form of a red dot that shows that players haven’t beaten it on their own.
This is similar to what players were able to experience in the New Super Mario Brothers by having Luigi run through the level instead and let players sit back and watch. It’s nice that Nintendo has put this Super Guide into effect so that it gives players the chance to continue on with the game if they are stuck, and since it doesn’t benefit them with collectibles or secrets then there isn’t even any harm done for those of us worried about a hard platforming experience.
Bad news for fans of the previous two versions of Rock Band, if you haven’t already upgraded yourself to RB3 then you are out of luck as far as new DLC is concerned. Anything released after October 26th, 2010 (already past) for Rock Band will only be compatible with Rock Band 3. Any Rock Band Network songs will still be available however, and any songs that have already been released as DLC from before October 26th will still work, but this is far from a consolation to those who have favorite songs being released now exclusive to the RB3.
Why this change though? Joystiq was able to contact Harmonix and it turns out that these new songs will not be backwards compatible “due to the new authoring standards, inclusion of new instruments, new lighting / venue cues, etc.”
Sure it may make sense from a developing stand point, since it gives Harmonix more breathing room when it develops new effects to go along with songs, but it does pinch the pockets of those who haven’t purchased RB3 yet. Though one thing that RB1 and RB2 users won’t have to worry about is accidentally purchasing these songs, because any new songs will simply not show up in the Music Store or inside the internal Rock Band’s marketplace. So this means that those who do not know this news at all will simply not see any new songs being released at this point in time.
G5 Entertainment, the leading publisher in the hidden object genre, is set to publish another sequel to one of the greatest hit developed by Artogon on the Apple portable devices, namely “The Mystery of the Crystal Portal”. The game was the winner of the first annual Great Game Awards in July last year, ended with Nicole (the main cast) managed to activate the Crystal Portal in her father’s basement in hope to find him. The sequel will pick up from there with a whole new puzzling adventure that comes with lots of brain-twisting fun and stunning graphics.
The Mystery of the Crystal Portal 2: Beyond the Horizon will be available on the App Store in approximately 2 weeks time on the 25th of November, just in time for Thanksgiving! Rest assured that you will not be disappointed. If you’re still not convinced, check out some of the awesome features of the game below!
Retina Display-enabled graphics
Supports multitasking on iOS 4 devices
Unique hidden object gameplay
Original storyline
2 Game modes – Casual and Advanced
8 Incredible locations
34 Fascinating levels

I don’t know about you, but I’m extremely excited of this new sequel. What say you?
For those of you who haven’t really been ready to take the jump on Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, now is the best time as the title which was only released a little over a month ago is just $25 (US) on Amazon as the Deal of the Day for both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of the game. It also appears a price drop is coming as the original price listed is $39.99, down from the original $59.99. Either way this is a fantastic deal that should not be passed up, but act quick as this sale ends at midnight!
