Gears Of War 3 'Carmine' Gear Now Available In XBL Marketplace
The question has been posed, save Carmine or let 'em die? Whether you're the hero or death reincarnate, stylish threads are a must!

Microsoft has announced that Gears of War 3 "Save Carmine" and "Carmine Must Die!" avatar clothing is now available in the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Each shirt will cost you 80 MS points and go towards deciding Clayton Carmine's fate. Each purchase also sends funds to the charity "Child's Play." So no matter which way you're leaning, it's for a good cause.

343 Industries To Bring Master Chief Back In Future Halo Titles

343 Industries To Bring Master Chief Back In Future Halo Titles
Frankie O'Connor, 343 Industries bossman, said at his Comic-Con 2010 panel last night that Master Chief would be coming back in future Halo titles.
We'd have to be the world's biggest assholes not to follow through," said O'Connor.

"We certainly haven't seen the last of Master Chief."
If you haven't played Halo 3 yet, and still have every intention of doing so, stop reading here. At the end of Halo 3 we see Master Chief and Cortana floating on one half of their ship, which has been split in two. Master Chief is then put into cyro-sleep. In the ending to Legendary mode in Halo 3, a planet can be seen in the distance as Master Chief is put to sleep.

343 Industries was created for the sole purpose of taking over the Halo franchise after Bungie, the current Halo developers, ride off into the sunset after September's launch of Halo: Reach. It was confirmed earlier last week that 343 is currently working on a new IP for a Halo title.

Decide Carmine's Fate in Gears Of War 3

Decide Carmine's Fate in Gears Of War 3
As fans of the Gears of War series are aware, the Carmine brothers are not the luckiest COGs. In each of the first two game Benjamin and Anthony Carmine met their end through a sniper and giant worm respectively. Finally, we the gamers can decide the fate of the final Carmine, Clayton. Starting July 29th, you can purchase a shirt for your avatar casting your vote to save Carmine or kill off the entire family (you monster). If you do feel like committing homicide, at least you can sleep at night knowing all proceeds will go to the Child's Play Charity.

Final Fantasy XIII Heading To 360 In Japan?

Final Fantasy XIII Heading To 360 In Japan?
Back in 2008, Microsoft announced that Final Fantasy XIII was coming to Xbox 360 at their E3 conference. However, when it was released in Japan only a PlayStation 3 version was released. If Xbox.com is anything to go by though, it looks like it could finally be making the jump.

Japanese Achievements for Final Fantasy XIII have appeared on Xbox.com which definitely suggests that it's coming out in Japan. It seems rather odd to release it after a such a long period though; especially considering the amount of 360 owners in Japan. This could mean an International version is being released with new features as that usually happens with Final Fantasy.

Trials HD Expansion Pack Announced

Trials HD Expansion Pack Announced
Developer RedLynx has announced that they will be bringing an expansion pack to Trials HD titled "Big Thrills."

The pack will contain 40 all new professionally made tracks as well as ten yet to be chosen user tracks. If you have created a track for the game and would like it to be considered for one of the ten user chosen tracks, submit it here.
"Ever since we released the first Trials HD expansion, gamers have demanded more," said Antti Ilvessuo, the game's lead designer and creative director of RedLynx.

"They email us every day, they post on our message boards, and lately they've started calling my house and chasing me down the street," he said. "With this announcement, I can now emerge from hiding and get back to making games."
Trials HD won the award for Best Overall Arcade Game of 2009, rightfully so, in my opinion.

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero Back Story Gets Detailed

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero Back Story Gets Detailed
Capcom has released new details for their upcoming Dead Rising 2 prequel, Case Zero, an Xbox LIVE exclusive title set to release before Dead Rising 2.

Apparently Case Zero's back story deals with the game's main character, Chuck Greene trying to save his daughter after she's bitten by a zombie. Chuck must inject his daughter with a vaccine called Zombrex every 12 hours but his car, which the medicine his daughter needs was in, gets stolen. Greene and his daughter must now escape a gas station within 12 hours if she is to survive.

The XBLA exclusive should release one month before Dead Rising 2, which launches in October on the PS3, 360, and PC.
