X-Men Arcade Coming to Xbox Live

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was the first Konami arcade classic to be brought to XBLA. Now X-Men the Arcade is coming. I spent so much money on this arcade back in the day. I still remember classic lines like"Nothing can stop the blob". Is it worth buying. Yes and no. It's not that long of a game but for classic beat'em up with your Xbox live buddies you can't go wrong with this title. No date released or price but if I had to guess it'll cost about 800 to 1200 MS Points. That is strictly my guess.  Here the old school trailer.

Court Ruling Could Make It Illegal to Sell Your Own Games

Court ruling could make it illegal to sell your own games. This would effect company's such as Gamestop in a major way. It may also effect the cost of used games. Some publisher's are charging a extra 10 bucks to use online modes for the game if you didn't register the product first. This all comes from the fact that the publisher doesn't get a dime of that second sell. Click here to read story.

I had put up a blog post previously stating that Microsoft Kinect will be able to understand sign language, and even read lips. This is not the cause.

So I guess there is hope that this may still happen. Here is the link to the article talking all about it. by By Stephen Johnson G4TV.com
