IM IN THE ZONE BABY !!!

Social matchmaking update accompanies price drop of “All Fronts Collection” content pack along with Triple Experience Weekend kicking off on Xbox LIVE

Starting today,  Title Update 6 gives a new reason for “Gears of War” fans to load up their Lancers and rev their chainsaws. The title update, available today on Xbox LIVE, introduces a new public multiplayer match feature called Social Matches that allows you to jump in or out of games without disruptions, including Horde mode matches. Social matchmaking also lets your party join a match already in progress or start a new match if there are no suitable matches to be found.

Social matching is open to anyone who owns all four downloadable map packs, available as a single download by purchasing the “All Fronts Collection,” now at the new discounted price of 800 Microsoft Points. Those looking for specific map packs to round out their collection will also find individual map packs on Xbox LIVE Marketplace at a new lower price as well.

To celebrate the new title update, Epic and Microsoft have also announced a Triple Experience Weekend on Xbox LIVE. Starting tomorrow, Thursday 27 May, at 2PM GMT, fans can earn triple experience in any “Gears of War 2” multiplayer mode on Xbox LIVE. The Triple XP weekend will run until Tuesday 1 June at 2PM GMT.

In addition, the title update includes a host of general fixes, improvements, and balancing changes which are available to all players. Visit http://gearsofwar.xbox.com/tu6.htm for a complete list of Title Update 6 changes.

With the improvements in Title Update 6 and the wide availability of the “All Fronts Collection,” players have plenty of time to hone their skills before the launch of “Gears of War 3” in April 2011.   I know I don’t need to hone my skills .. IM MASTER “FRIKEN” ABBOTT … you I was born with a LANCER in my hands !! WOOOOOO I’m in the ZONE BABY !!! AIN’T ENUFF FREAKS TO STOP THIS ABBOTT !! 😉

UFC Undisputed 2010: Who Wants To Take On A REAL Fighter?

For fans of the UFC who are lucky enough to own a PS3, there’s an extra reason to grab a copy of UFC Undisputed 2010 – out now in the USA, out on May 27th in Australia!

Today, up-and-coming Light-Heavyweight fighter (and my/MasterAbbott’s favourite!) Jonny “Bones” Jones announced on Twitter  that not only does he have his copy of the game, but that he’d also publish his PSN gamertag and take on any fans who want to jump into the (virtual) Octagon with him.

So the challenge is out there – if you think you have what it takes to mix it up with future champ, go get some! His gamertag is “jbjones205”.

What would you do if you had all the power in a land of racers? Would you create a track so brutal that you yourself could not even finish it? How about something so crazy that it has all of it’s racers unable to finish due to laughter. You can do that now with the release of Modnation Racers on the PS3 and PSP. Modnation Racers was released yesterday May 25th and now the havoc can begin.

With customization options rivaling Little Big Planet there is nothing you can’t do. You can make your own little world and force your friends to traverse it in their vehicles. You have the power and can make them go running home crying because they were destroyed by a hidden trap and ended up in last place. All the while your racer travels through various shortcuts and beats everybody by a mile.

Don’t just let anyone beat your track. Will Kevin Butler have to come to your house wearing those shorts? He’ll do it. You know he will. Listen to his advice and make your mark on the race track with Modnation Racers; or otherwise he could show up and then who knows what may happen.
