Burnout Dominator (no, not Burnout 5, which is coming to next-gen consoles) has been announced for the PS2 and PSP systems. Nick Channon producer revealed, that since the Burnout series started on the PS2, Burnout Dominator will “celebrate” the system’s long life and popularity, and the game will be much like the earlier ones. No further news has been revealed.

Lost Planet trailer

A brand new trailer has surfaced from the upcoming shooter for the Xbox 360, Lost Planet. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6Ahoe6ovQ4&eurl=]Enjoy[/url].
Back in October Microsoft pushed out an update to 360 owners wishing to get on Live! that rendered some consoles un-usable. Every report I heard was that Microsoft did the customers right and fixed the damaged machines. Apparently this was not enough for some as a class action suit has been filed in Washington. The suit accuses Microsoft of breach of contract, negligence, and violation of the state of Washington’s Consumer Protection Act (CPA). I find these claims laughable.
Breach of what contract? I never signed a contract when I bought my 360. Likewise, on what basis would negligence be determined? I am sure the rigorous testing of updates for consoles that the software giant undergoes would stand up to scrutiny. You know, this isn’t the first time they have patched something. The plaintiff is seeking $5M in damages for breach of contract and $5M in damages for deceptive practices under the CPA law. Should Microsoft skirt those charges, the suit also seeks $5M in damages for negligence.
If this case gets off the ground, I’ll be highly annoyed. The story on Gamespot [url=http://www.gamespot.com/news/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=25210068&part=rss&tag=gs_news&subj=6162857]mentions[/url] that the plaintiff is under the impression that Microsoft strong armed consumers and requested $140 to repair the “bricked” consoles, a claim I’ve not heard up until today. Like I said, I’m calling shenanigans on the whole thing and I hope a judge tosses the case out.
Lost Planet weapons revealed

The folks at IGN managed to get their paws on the [url=http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/749/749600p1.html]list of weapons in Lost Planet[/url]. Quite alot of weapons in the game, each different than the others. I personally can’t wait to play this. Release is slated for January 2007.
As we previously [url=http://www.snackbar-games.com/n2149.html]reported[/url], Blue Dragon might be the game that could save the Xbox 360 from falling into Oblivion in Japan. The Core+Blue Dragon pack has been selling well in pre-orders, as well as the game itself at online stores. Refusing a deal from Don Corleone would be easier than refusing a deal from this lady:
