VinWarrior Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Sorry for the day of delay, I've been extremely busy, but now it's back, and will follow a Saturday cycle instead of Friday due to my inability to work on this during the weekdays. Now, this week we have again three major articles for your reading entertainment, enjoy! E.T. On The Atari 2600 Dump Found in New Mexico The most infamously bad game of all time is arguably the E.T. Video Game on the Atari 2600 from 1982, which broke records with it's immense worldwide panning and reputation, enough to send millions of copies to alleged landfills in New Mexico. According to IGN.com, who was on the scene, these rumors are in fact true, and many copies of E.T., along with other Atari 2600 games that bombed in the sales department, are buried in a large landfill in Almagordo, New Mexico. The filmed documentary of the finding of these games will be released exclusively to Xbox One under Avengers Writer, Zak Penn. What's your take on this news, and will you be watching the documentary when it launches on Xbox One? Let me know, thanks for reading! Gears of War on Xbox One Job Posting Listed on Microsoft's Website Since up and coming studio Black Tusk took over the Gears of War license, acquired from Epic Games by Microsoft, news has been slim on the new project, besides the confirmation of long-time Producer Rod Fergusson's work being done on the new project.

Would you want the next Gears of War on Xbox 360 as well as Xbox One, or could it harm the game's development? Discuss below! Halo 5 Possibly Teased In Escalation #8 Halo Escalation has been incredibly popular in it's sales, especially with the release of Issue 7 and it's dealing with the scenarios after Halo Wars, so now fans may experience the latest in Halo 5 news by reading Escalation #8.

Drizzy_Dan Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Excellent and convenient way to give us our news EK great job. I'm excited for a new Gears title on the Xbox One although I didn't get Judgement. And this Halo: Escalation series seems very interesting and like something I probably should be getting into!

I_Make_Big_Boom Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 You know I'm questioning if the people here even know about Halo: Escalation. I was expecting the ol' "OH MY GAWD. SPIRIT OF FIRE IS BACK!! ARBITER!! MASTER CHIEF!!" but... nothing. A few topics and that's it... I'm probably going to go post something now about it. Good article Professor Kenway! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 If Atari released ET nowadays they'd get flagged as the worst company in America instead of EA for releasing games with awful endings and broken engines or companies more deserving of that title like Walmart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
