As we all know, Microsoft has XBOX Live on a very strict guideline as to who can access it and who they wish to extend it to. One game supplier/company that has stepped up to the plate and has requested leniency is STEAM. Valve co-founder Gabe Newell has high hopes to bring XBOX Live into the Steamworks, as there are many titles and customers that would benefit from this integration. Some of the benefits named were free downloadable content or DLC, as well as allowing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on the XBOX Live network. Here is a quote from Gabe Newell what STEAM/Valve has to offer Microsoft/XBOX Live:
There has been multiple requests from various developers to allow more freedom with XBOX Live, but Microsoft has always given a swift hand of justice to any offer on the table. Will they change their ways for CS: GO? Microsoft's arrogance has prevented games from being released for XBOX 360, games such as: Final Fantasy XIV. A highly reputable developer wasn't allowed the opportunity to release a highly anticipated game because Microsoft won't budge with third party opportunities. It isn't all bad, as you can see XBOX Live hasn't really had any major problems like PSN faced, and not allowing third parties might allow for less difficulties."We certainly can deliver a lot of value to customers to the degree to which we have those capabilities," Newell told Eurogamer. "The PS3, obviously, we made a lot of progress with that. The PS3 customers of Portal 2 are going to start to see the benefits of that with DLC coming out in September. So we'd really like to be able to do that for Xbox customers as well.
"The main thing is having Microsoft get comfortable with it and let us do it," he continued. "Right now, there's a huge amount of updates and free content that we've been able to deliver to people who have The Orange Box that we haven't been able to deliver to the Xbox because of the restrictions that have been placed on us on Xbox Live.
"We'd love to see those relaxed. Hopefully that will help Microsoft see that's a good strategy for making customers happy, that the barbarians won't tear down the walls of Xbox and turn it into some chaotic wasteland."
There is definitely hope for Microsoft's XBOX Live since there has been speculation of allowing developers with the prospect of microtransaction support. That would allow for free to play games on the network, maybe that's a sign of easing up on their policies? To our dedicated readers, what do you think? Will Microsoft ease up? Any speculations of whats to happen in the future with STEAM being a popular service, as well as XBOX Live? Thanks for reading.by Published on 08-29-2011 03:00 AM
As you may have all heard, there's a new Counter-Strike coming out. It's called Counter-Strike: Global Offense, and will bring the environment of Counter-Strike 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Source. Creating a monumental type of gameplay. This is just a quick article to give the community a chance to check out the new part of the Counter-Strike series. Only drawback on this is that the gameplay is being recorded while someone is playing it on the XBOX 360. They are going to release it for XBOX 360 apparently, and we all know how the last Counter-Strike for XBOX was. Without further a due, here is the footage for the new games gameplay.
When I saw the gameplay I personally couldn't make a proper judgment on it. Too hard to tell the difference when you're not playing it. Considering Valve has made DotA 2 and hasn't gotten any bad flack for it, means they'll definitely be able to remake Counter-Strike in a positive way. It's a great approach they are taking, because 1.6 and Source users will get the chance to play together, meaning a larger player base. CS:GO is trying to combine the Counter-Strike 1.6 feel with the Counter-Strike: Source graphics, hence why I say 'trying' because it is going to be tricky throughout the entire development of the game.
My speculation is that Valve will hit it spot on after beta and everyone giving their feedback on it. Might take a few patches to get everything set in stone, but it should be an over all great experience. What do you guys think? Does CS:GO sound/look good to you? Any opinions on the platforms they plan to make it available for? Thanks for reading!by Published on 08-25-2011 11:20 PM
Electronic Arts, or EA for short has taken the time to implement spyware in their Origin software. A software that was released not too long ago and has since then gained major popularity as it is required to play certain games. One to be noted is Battlefield 3. They also required you to use this software to be a part of the Battlefield 3 Alpha testing. Many of us aren't aware of what this spyware is entitling to Electronic Arts. By installing Origin on our computers, we are allowing EA to SELL our information to third parties! That information can include: what you've installed on your computer, peripheral hardware, software usage, operating system information, and much more. This is definitely an invasion of privacy, and they know they can get away with it solely because they know 90% of people don't read the EULA. Here is a direct quote from their Origin Software EULA:
This kind of news should be huge! How many of you knew what you were getting yourselves into it when you clicked that "install" button for Origin? They know what they are doing, and are getting away with it daily, right under our noses. This is the kind of topic that can't go unsaid, or they will trample our rights just as much as they have with this scandal. Another thing to add is, they knowingly do this assuming most the consumers won't bother to read the fine print.Consent to Collection and Use of Data.
You agree that EA may collect, use, store and transmit technical and related information that identifies your computer (including the Internet Protocol Address), operating system, Application usage (including but not limited to successful installation and/or removal), software, software usage and peripheral hardware, that may be gathered periodically to facilitate the provision of software updates, dynamically served content, product support and other services to you, including online services. EA may also use this information combined with personal information for marketing purposes and to improve our products and services. We may also share that data with our third party service providers in a form that does not personally identify you. IF YOU DO NOT WANT EA TO COLLECT, USE, STORE, TRANSMIT OR DISPLAY THE DATA DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION, PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE APPLICATION.
This and all other data provided to EA and/or collected by EA in connection with your installation and use of this Application is collected, used, stored and transmitted in accordance with EA’s Privacy Policy located at www.ea.com. To the extent that anything in this section conflicts with the terms of EA’s Privacy Policy, the terms of the Privacy Policy shall control.
This is one step towards EA being a bigger gaming monstrosity. If they require you to allow them snoop through your computer and watch all your activity, then I won't have none of it. You should uninstall as soon as you finish reading this article so that you can keep some of your rights intact. The news of this event is rapidly growing and people have begun to write physical letters as well as emails expressing their frustrations towards Electronic Arts. There is no issue of right or wrong here, it is simply wrong. There will be the people who tell you, "if you don't like it, don't play it." That should never be the case, we shouldn't have to give up individual freedoms to receive enjoyment from a game without any consequences. You're basically paying EA for their games, and also opening up the gateway to help them sell what you don't want them to know!
As we learn more and more about EA's Origin Software, the worse it seems to get. They are making it harder and harder for us gamers to purchase their games, because I don't know anyone who would jump on board and allow this kind of behavior from such a well known company. We understand EA isn't the only ones doing this, but they are a huge conglomerate who shouldn't go unchecked for their evil deeds. At least with the competitors you can opt-out of being spyed on, but EA is forcing you to be spyed on. If you don't agree on what they're doing with their software, go a head and email them your frustration or write them a letter of distraught. All of the options will be given to you in my sources located at the bottom of the article.
With huge titles like Battlefield 3 coming up, and people consistently playing Crysis 2 and many other games through Origin, and are unaware, do you think this will make EA take a big hit? What is your whole take on the situation? Do you agree you should have to sacrifice certain things to receive a quality game? You can answer all this in the comments section below, and we'd love to hear everyone's opinions on the matter. Thanks for reading!

You read that right! RIFT has just recently hit the half way point for their one year anniversary since its release! In response to their half way check point, they are offering all RIFT players who are currently unsubbed, SIX(6) free days of gametime! They are allowing new and returning players to play from the 25th of August to the 1st of September, hence the 6 days of gametime. That is just one of the perks for this event, here is a list of all that is happening and being awarded.
That means they are offering HUGE discounts on the game, as well as giving out a TON of cool stuff listed above. The Executive Producer of RIFT, Scott Hartsman wanted to say this to the entire community,A week of bonuses, free game time, and awesome prizes … and everyone is invited!Whether you’re Guardian or Defiant, High Elf or Kelari, a PvE-er or PvP-er, you’re going to find a good reason to celebrate starting August 25th as RIFT™ reaches its half-year milestone. More than a million gamers have activated RIFT in the six months since launch, making it one of the most successful MMORPG releases in history, and from August 25th to September 1st, Trion is rewarding everyone. Subscribers will enjoy a week of substantial in-game bonuses, and new and returning players can play the full game free with no leveling or zone restrictions.
Subscriber half-birthday week bonuses include:
Special Surprise Birthday Gift – Following the event, all active subscribers will receive a special in-game birthday surprise to commemorate the occasion!
Bonus Experience – Your blood-lust is rewarded with bonus experience in both PvE and PvP
Guild Bonus Experience – Swiftly level-up your guild with bonus XP granted for completing guild quests
Big PvP Payouts – All warfronts and open-world PvP will grant extra Favor and Prestige
A Plethora of Planarite – Sealing Telara’s rifts and combating the invasions will reward you with extra planarite
Bonus Plaques & Marks – Increased chance for bonus Plaques of Achievement and Marks of Ascension in all dungeons and raids
The party doesn't have to stop on the 1st! New Ascended who choose to continue their adventures in Telara can purchase the game client for just $4.99 USD through September 1st if they sign up for any RIFT subscription plan.RIFT revelers can also participate in several contests scheduled throughout the week for the chance to win awesome prizes!
Some people on the forums aren't agreeing with some of the rewards, because they believe its tending to casuals who are wanting welfare pvp gear, rather than hard worked warfront pvp gear. Players are expected to be on the hustle for the next six days as they try to take full advantage of all the different rewards. You shouldn't be surprised to see plenty of players questing to increase their guilds level, and don't be surprised if you're getting ganked for your rift's! As they are offering more rewards as you seal them all.“We really wanted to do something fun and memorable for this amazing milestone,” said Scott Hartsman, RIFT Executive Producer. “What better way to say thanks than to kick the doors open and add even more rewards for our subscribers?”

You can also check out the discussion board where there are various questions answered about the event. That is located HERE
Take the initiative, and level a few characters as fast as you can! Take advantage of those extra experience gains, and enjoy yourselves. This is a fun filled week for those that play RIFT and have been a part of its loyal fan base over the last 6 months.
What do you think of this event? What's your opinion on the double pvp rewards? What do you plan to take advantage of first? We'd love to hear everyones comments. Have fun leveling a character to 50, getting your guild a few levels, signing up for contests for some sweet swag, and stay safe during your travels!- Latest Gambling Threads
