Following yesterdays article on General Knoxx Secret Armory,  we wanted to send out a courtesy reminder to all XBOX 360 owners that its now available to download !!

Details and download link available below :  HAPPY PLAYING 🙂

Content: Secret Armory
Price: 800 Microsoft Points
Availability: Not available in Germany and Japan
Dash Text: Description: Borderlands goes to ELEVEN! You may have seen some games raise their level cap by 5, or maybe even 10, but with The Crimson Lance Assassination Squads wreaking havoc and Crawmerax the Invincible being all invulnerable and stuff we knew you’d need more than just 10. And that’s why Borderlands goes to ELEVEN! The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is an addon pack for Borderlands that adds new guns, new Class Mods, new vehicles, new missions, new enemy types, and increases the level cap to 61. In other words…best addon ever. Of all time. Forever. The End. ELEVEN! There are no refunds for this item. For more information, see www.xbox.com/live/accounts.

Add Secret Armory to your Xbox 360 download queue

Yes you heard it.  Well we also heard it from Director of technology over at Sony’s Santa Monica Christer Ericson’s Twitter

So it looks like we don’t have to wait to for the paint to dry in the end as God Of War 3 will be installation free and ready to hit the ground running as soon as you throw it into your Playstation 3.  As stated by Christer God Of War 3 will only need 5mb to save your game.

This is great news for all you Playstation 3 owners that have next to no hard disk space left on their PS3 hard drives, especially owners of the original Playstation 3’s that have only 20gb in them.

Happy Days !! now all that’s left to see is how good the loading times are whilst playing and moving from one local to the other within the game.

God Of War 3 makes it’s way down to Australia on the 18th of March the rest of the world get it a few days before on the 16th.  Not long now !!

If you haven’t already pick up your copy grab it now for only $71 AU with free delivery

What do you guys think about the install free setup ? Would you rather have the option available or are you glad that you don’t have to go through the pain of the waiting for the install to complete.  Your thoughts and suggestions.

Don’t Let Ryo Hazuki borrow your motor bike

This cool video was featured on Sega’s blog today.  It shows Ryo Hazuki from Sega’s Shenmue borrowing his friends motorbike.  But why would he need it for ??

Click on the play button and find out for yourselves 😉 

On a totally different note. I hope Sega are secretly working on the long awaited finale of Shenmue 3.  After playing the Yakuza 3 demo the other day I totally fell in love with it as it reminded me soo much of Shenmue.  I was walking around the streets of Tokyo FOR HOURS  like a kid in a candy store !!  I was stopping to read all the Japanese signs on every building (lucky I can now read Japanese, which makes playing the game even more fun).  I even played games in Club Sega and bought some bargains in Don Kihote (which even has its own theme song playing when you enter the store).  After all this… I have a feeling that Shenmue is just around the corner. 

If sega can make a game so similar in every which way and call it Yakuza 3.  What’s stopping them from changing the scenery a little bit dropping Ryo’s character back in, brush up the finishing touches to the storyline which we all know is already written and ready to go, then slapping the title SHENMUE 3 on the cover. 

Sega if you are out there and we know you are !! please hear our prays !! Ryo needs to ride his motorbike one last time in his OWN game !! 😉

Who else agrees with me on this one.  Your comments please !!

Thanks to Seth over at Capcom and IGN for this piece of information on the new Street Fighter IV coming in March for the Apple iPhone.  Video isn’t the best but you can clearly see Capcom have done a SUPER effort, the gameplay, speed and visuals are totally outstanding.  

To all the non believers out there click on the play button and watch the action for yourselves.  The video shows a wireless multi-player battle along with some other little options and a SUPER being pulled off which looks absolutely stunning.  There are a total of 8 playable characters, Ryu, Ken, Guile, Blanka, Chun-Li, Dhalsim, M. Bison and Street Fighter IV newbie Abel.

Capcom have reported that Street Fighter IV will be priced at $9.99 US

Check out the video and let us know what you think !!

UBISOFT have released a new  “Hidden Moves” Trailer for Red Steel 2 Check it out below and get excited.  I am, Red Steel 2 is shaping up to quite nicely and with the added Wii Motion Plus support, shooting and slicing your way through the game is going to be even more realistic and fun !!

Check out the video below.  There are some ULTRA amazing jaw dropping finishing moves with the guns.  Lucky the blood effects have been watered down big time otherwise all you’d see is limbs and blood all over the place

Red Steel 2 will be released in Australia on 25 March.
