Alternatively, if your not American the title can be replaced with “Spend a day that’s not significant to you Getting Double XP In Gears 2”
Either way, the point is this. Anyone playing Gears Of War 2 this Weekend will be happy to know that its a double XP weekend, on top of that, being on the winning team awards an extra 500 XP.
So <Bad Pun Warning>get into gear <Bad Pun Warning> for this weekend.
Remember the 8-bit era. Well you can live it over and over again with vNES/. A lot of games have been disabled, due to legal reasons. The owners of the site must own the game pak in order to upload it to there servers. But there always trying to acquire games through purchase or donations.
The software they use, vNES is released under GNU so you can download it and use it for yourself.
Last.fm is coming to Xbox Live, but how much will it cost?
When it’s released (No dates yet) Silver members will get a free 3 month trial, and Gold members will get it free. BUT, it will feature those annoying video ads. If you want to get rid of them, you’ll be paying a subscription. No prices are certain yet, but Last.fm subscriptions currently cost only $3 a month, so hopefully it will be the same on Xbox Live.
Go get it. Its that nifty game that costs $5 and lets you make other games.
Anyone still using the Windows 7 Beta? I wouldn’t be surprised if plenty of people are, its a very polished off system. Anyway, the beta has a great way to stop it from being used after its expiry date, it shuts down, every two hours, it just shuts down, an ingenious way to get people to stop using it, don’t you think? I sure as hell cant use it anymore, it drives me nuts.
This is fun. Gickr is a website that allows you to upload up to 10 pictures, and it automatically turns them into a single GIF animation file. You can choose the speed and order in which they GIF plays, along with the size of it.
Give it a try, its fun.
Myles isn’t actually a Frenchman, but he does approve.
A sure classic that has made its way to the Wii. You have a hand at your disposal to pick up and throw your enemy to there deaths. As the game progresses you can upgrade your castle and convert enemy troops to defend your castle.
Kodu, the game where you make your own levels, objectives and just about everything else in between, is dropping onto Xbox Live Indie Games on the 30th of June, and at 
400, its pretty good value.
Here is one of the best reCaptcha I’ve seen: Link (NSFW)
Rumours have been floating around the internet lately regarding an AppStore on PSN, specifically for the upcoming PSP Go. An AppStore would definitely increase the number of people who’d want one.
Rumour also has it that the PSP AppStore will be announced at Gamescom in Cologne this August.
While Sony haven’t confirmed this, they’re not denying it. And usually when they don’t deny it, its true. There’s one more bit of incentive to buy a PSP Go when it comes out.
Luis von Ahn, the inverter of the dreed capchta talks about reCapchta and the very good idea behind the project. The idea is behind it is to digitize books that OCR can’t convert. The project takes one word that it knows and puts it together with a word it can’t recognize in a image. This image makes up the captcha which is then shown to a user on a website. The user types in what they see and summits the typed words. To confirm the user is human it checks the word it knows. If the word it knows is correct, it assumes that unknown word is correct and adds it to a database. It shows the unknown word to other users in a capchta, to confirm that it is indeed right. Take the image below:
Thats right, Iran’s government may see the internet as a threat, but dont worry Iranian PSN, XBL and general online gamers, you can still play your games. [Joystiq]
The PSP Go doesn’t feature a UMD drive, therefore, all its games will be stored on its 16GB internal flash memory.

The Tegra is designed to be able to handle HD Video packed into something as small as the ZuneHD. What does this mean? It means it that videos wont drain the battery in the ZuneHD, plus it will play videos in better quality.
Now all Microsoft need to do is launch it outside North America, and I’m baught.
Finally, a celebrity that doesnt like the Wii. Speaking to Big Download he said:
BIG DL:Have you checked out the Wii Transformers game?
LABEOUF: I haven’t been able to play the Wii game because my hand is broken. I’ve just been playing Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. I would imagine that the Wii experience will be like…I don’t mess with the Wii, to be honest with you. It’s kind of an amateur console. I’m not into the Wii thing.
BIG DL: What’s wrong with the Wii?
LABEOUF: This is how in a simple way you can find out if it’s a gamer you want to play with. Ask them if they have a Wii. If they say yes, get the f*** out of there.
He also remarked that “Who wants to play the Wii version of LEGO Star Wars. I’d rather eat glass.” Which dissapoints me as its one of the few Wii games I love.
