January 14, 2009 - Xbox 360 gamers can forget about waiting until March 13 to sink their teeth into Resident Evil 5. Instead owners of Microsoft’s system will get a two-level demo exclusively for one week on January 26. The two levels are Assembly Place and Shanty Town and they can be played cooperatively on one system, with AI support, or over Xbox Live with a friend.

Players will encounter the Majini Executioner and the Chainsaw Majini as well as hordes of other infected citizens. The demo also includes the option of using the new “action controls” that are said to be inspired by games like Halo 3. The original Resident Evil control scheme is available as well.

Fans can also look forward to the trailer that was previously only shown at the Tokyo Game Show last year. The video will hit Xbox Live on January 16 with the demo following ten days later on January 26. 

Dentsu, Japan’s largest ad agency, said it will team up with Nintendo to launch a video distribution service on the Wii.

The two companies plan to offer programs created specifically for the service, a Dentsu representative said Thursday. By contrast, most online channels tend to carry existing TV shows and movies. According to the Nikkei business daily, the programs will focus on cartoons and other entertainment.

Viewers will need to pay to see some of the programs, while others will be offered free of charge and accompanied by ads, the representative said.

Nintendo had sold 34.6 million Wii consoles as of the end of September, far outselling Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s PlayStation 3.

Dentsu and Nintendo will launch the new service in Japan next year, while the timing for overseas sales has yet to be set, the Dentsu representative said. ( 2008 Reuters Limited)

Major Free MMORPG’s

I myself am an experianced gamer and have tried many mmorpg’s free and payed.

There are so many MMORPG’s out there. Many are new and just starting and have a small number of members some have been established for quite sometime and have a massive community and millions of players worldwide.

For your best choice of free MMORPG’s I would go with Guild War’s or Runescape.

Guild Wars

Guild Wars is a game in which you need to buy the installation disk but after that you have no monthly fee to play.

Guild War’s have an extensuive community and a massive ammount of players. Guild wars is a 3D world that has amazinly great graphics for a MMORPG. If you have a slow internet connection(dial-up or slow DSL) or a really slow computer this game is not for you.

Runescape has a free version of the game and also a version that you can pay for.($5 a month)

Runescape is one of the top MMORPG’s online todaay. The community is absolutly huge and has over a million members. You do not have to buy or install this game. If you have a slow internet connection this game is definitly for you also is great is you have a slow computer. Based in a 3D interactive world you have a wide variety of skills you can train. You increase you combat levels by increasing your experiance and levels in the 5 main combat skills. Attack, Defence, Strength, Magic, and ranged.

An extreamly fun game to play based aimed for teens and younger ages. But still extreamly fun for older teens and Adults.

A definite Recomendation
