Twitter & Facebook on Xbox 360 explained

003-twitter-xbox-360_medium

Microsoft has confirmed that Silver members will have limited use of Twitter and Facebook on Xbox 360.

Paying Gold subscribers, who can play online matches and have early access to demos, will have full use of the social networking sites through Xbox Live, according to MCV.

It added that Silver members will receive a free trial period, similar to the restricted use with Last.fm.

Twitter, Facebook and Last.fm will arrive through a dashboard update later this year, allowing users to update content from the console and developers to integrate social networking features in future games.

Oscar winner Hans Zimmer is writing music for his first video game-only project, scoring the soundtrack for “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2,” one of the year’s most anticipated releases.

The sequel to the first-person action best-seller “Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare” comes from Activision Blizzard’s Infinity Ward studio and hits stores Nov. 10.

Zimmer’s Gorfaine/Schwartz Agency confirmed the project.

Zimmer’s film resume includes “The Dark Knight,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Gladiator,” “Rain Man” and “Driving Miss Daisy.” He won an Oscar in 1995 for “The Lion King.” Upcoming movie work includes “Sherlock Holmes” and “Inception.”

Nostalgia Friday!

I blame JB for this nostalgia moment. Seriously.

Fairlight intro. Way back …

100 C64 games in 10 minutes. Awesome… but it’s weird that I remember them to have tons better graphics. Oh well. The games had feeling, to differ from many of the games released today riding on “good graphics” alone. :)

100 Amiga games in 10 minutes. Awesome!!! It came from the desert? Syndicate? Populous? Fate of Atlantis? Zak McKracken & the Alien Mindbenders? F/A 18 Interceptor? Maniac Mansion? Rocket Ranger? Anyone?!?!?!

And, to end it all … Spaceballs. Aww, the memories!
