X3F TV — X3F Impressions: Bourne Conspiracy Demo

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008 by admin

A few hours ago, Xbox Live Marketplace was treated to an early demo of The Bourne Conspiracy, the High Moon Studios developed title based on the best-selling novels by Robert Ludlum. We thought this was a great time to debut a feature X3F readers have asked us for in the past, video impressions of demos for retail Xbox 360 games.

Ordinarily we have a catchy (or what we think is catchy) name for our video features, but this time we drew a blank. Have an idea for what this feature should be called? Drop your name idea in the comments and tell us what you think of The Bourne Conspiracy demo yourself.

We realize that many, many Grand Theft Auto fans have already perused the contents of their shiny, new Special Editions of Grand Theft Auto IV — which includes an actual safety deposit box, among other things — but there are also plenty of gamers out there who opted to grab the vanilla edition instead. It is with this in mind that we point you to 360Sync’s unboxing of the Grand Theft Auto IV Special Edition (it’s the Canadian version — note the “Édition spéciale”). Grab your smoking jacket, pour the Courvoisier, and savor the images.

Video: Halo 3 kill stealing with fusion cores

Sunday, May 4th, 2008 by admin

Today is yet another lazy Sunday, so we find no better time than now to visit the pile of random Halo 3 videos to bring you yet another video gem.

We have here one of the most complicated Halo 3 kill steals we’ve ever seen, complete with sniper action, fusion core explosions, a splatter and a missed melee. It’s best to just watch the video to get the full kill stealing experience, but the gist of it is that a player snipes one of the other team’s Spartans, then that same bullet hits a fusion core, which explodes next to another player who (by chance) is milliseconds away from being assassinated but gets knocked into the wall giving the sniper player a splatter kill. It’s random and totally delicious! These videos also make us want to plead with EVERY game developer to incorporate some kind of record functionality in their games. Moments like this are too priceless to waste.
