Xbox 360’s Fall Update Rolling Out Before September 7th?
While this might be speculation upon speculation, Joystiq is running a rumor that the Arcade SKU will come complete with a motion controller for $199 on September 7th.
Tucked in the rumor, however, is that the new SKUs will have the Fall Dashboard Update pre-loaded on the system.
The rumor reads: “[The $199 SKU will feature] the traditional Arcade goodies (512MB memory card, etc.), the new Fall update pre-loaded as well as a motion controller and a few motion controlled mini games developed by Rare.”

See Halo 3's Master Chief come to life: Amazing video.
This is probably one of the most amazing things that I have seen in a long time. In this video you will see an artist freehand Halo 3's Master Chief from absolutely nothing to a poster quality image using Photoshop.
Dont worry. The video does not take hours. The video runs at a high speed so you can see the whole process quickly.
Check it out!

TVG Reviews Aliens vs. Predator Requiem
Rebellion return to the AVP series after 8 years' absence, with the official game of this Christmas' movie...
It's been a long time since Oxford based developers Rebellion has taken the helm of an Aliens vs. Predator game. Their first title on the doomed Atari Jaguar, released in 1995, is widely regarded as one of the best games on the console. Four years later, Rebellion released another critically acclaimed AVP game on the PC. It's fair to say that the developers were masterful craftsmen when it came to creating game worlds inspired by the cult-classic comic book series.
Unfortunately, it appears that Rebellion has lost their way a little when it came to developing their new title, Aliens vs. Predator Requiem, the official game of the movie that's due out this Christmas Season. Okay, so the fact that it's a film licensed game should've tipped off to the fact that it would be a stinker; but we at TVG were really hoping that entrusting the franchise under the rich heritage of the Rebellion name would counteract this somewhat. Unfortunately, we at TVG were very wrong.

MSNBC: 'Kane and Lynch' is a game-noir gem (Verdict: Buy it)
MSNBC contributor Scott Taves reviews Kane & Lynch: Dead Men:
"Games have an uneven record when it comes to character development, storytelling and atmosphere. Too often the emphasis is on frames-per-second and surface textures. Its no wonder many games leave me feeling cold and unmoved.
'Kane & Lynch: Dead Men', out now for PS3, PC, and Xbox 360, is an exception to the graphics-driven norm..."
His verdict: Buy it

Ziff Davis staff holds impromptu GameSpot rally

The demonstration was a response to the recent unexplained firing of GameSpot contributor Jeff Gerstmann. After hearing the rumors that Gerstmann was fired due to pressure from advertisers following his lackluster review of Kane and Lynch, the ZD staff decided to show their support for their fellow gaming journalist.
