Lost Planet 2: Search for Curley's Gold
Capcom officially announced on February 25, 2009 that Lost Planet 2 is currently in development for the Xbox 360. The unofficial announcement came through the Xbox Live service and contained a good deal of game play footage. The game will pick up 10 years after the events of the first Lost Planet and will follow the exploits of your own customizable snow pirate.

        Game play footage was awesome.

Xbox 350 Dominates Japan
For this past week the Xbox 360 led all consoles in sales in Japan. The Xbox 360 moved 25,334 units which was more then the Wii (16,973) and the PS3 (16,149) for the week.

Universal Pictures European LIVE
Announced at a London event, UK Head of Xbox Neil Thompson announced that NBC Universal movies will now be available for streaming via the Netflix application on Xbox Live. Of course this move occurred previously in the United States, so this brings the European Xbox Live in line with the US service

Johnny Klebitz Rides High
Rockstar's GTA IV expansion "The Lost and Damned" has set an Xbox Live record, as it's first day sales revenue has eclipsed all other titles that have debuted on the service.

     can't wait for the numbers to come out.  It did very well it seems.

Jack Slate Back in Grant City
Volatile Games has announced that they are developing Dead to Rights: Retribution, a reimaging of the gritty crime drama franchise that will be published on both the Xbox 360 and PS3. The game will thrust players back into the role of Jack Slate and his sidekick/dog Shadow as they attempt to clean up the shadowy underworld figures exerting their evil grip over the crumbling Grant City.

    I enjoyed dead to right.

Welcome to Criterion Games Network
The once PC/PS3 exclusive Criterion Games Network is now accessible through Burnout Paradise for Xbox 360 users. The CGN brings with it the ability to gain access to DLC before it is "officially" released.

 

Read the rest - especially the rant section.

 News to me, but a crafty way to get their service in Europe going...hmmm



I think that might be a mistake. I believe they are talking about Universal movies being available for rent from the Video Marketplace.



No problem with a Netflix service for the UK but alas this is just more Video marketplace stuff.
