NFL says HGH testing coming soon; union might not be ready
AppId is over the quota
WASHINGTON -- Two congressmen and the NFL say after a meeting with the players union that testing for human growth hormone will begin shortly, but the union is less committal.
Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, told reporters Friday that the sides agreed to begin testing "immediately." He added that what to do with the test results will be dealt with in the coming weeks.
But NFLPA spokesman George Atallah, speaking a few minutes later, said testing will begin after a fair and safe system is in place. He said players will do that "as fast as possible."
The latest collective bargaining agreement between the league and its players includes a provision to begin testing players for HGH -- contingent on the union agreeing to the testing methods. The NFLPA has asked for more scientific data to prove the most popular test is reliable.
Final Fantasy XIV Version 2.0 Coming Winter 2012
AppId is over the quota
Oh, Square Enix... When will you learn? Sometimes when you make a mess, it's best that you just sweep it under the rug, and act like it never happened in the first place. Considering how bad the reception was to Final Fantasy XIV, this would be our recommended course of action. But Square Enix doesn't know when to throw in the towel and is instead planning to release Final Fantasy XIV Version 2.0 next winter.
Up to this point, Final Fantasy XIV has been free in an attempt to lure players into trying the trainwreck. Square Enix plans to begin the paid subscriptions starting in December of 2011, likely to foot the bill for all of the changes they're making to the upgrade version. Version 2.0 will then be integrated into the current game starting in December 2012. After that in Q1 2013, the full 2.0 client will go on sale for both PC and PS3. A PS3 version of the game has never been released thus far.
Square promises revamped maps to reduce that repetitive feel and completely overhaul the graphics engine. There will be a revamped user interface as well and new servers to improve speed and performance.
They're definitely pushing hard to make FFXIV a success, but with the name already so tarnished, it could all be for naught.

Dead Island DLC to be Unleashed in Coming Weeks
AppId is over the quota
Some gamers who pre-ordered Dead Island before its September 6 release have received an access code to a DLC which is to be launched in coming weeks. Titled Bloodbath Arena this pack will add four new maps to the zombie-slaying title. A weapon called ‘the Ripper’ would also be a part of this DLC.
Eurogamer has apparently received details about this content pack which is to be doled out for free to those who pre-purchased the game form online retailer StopTo. The redemption codes of these gamers will be usable only when the DLC releases. The Bloodbath Arena pack, which is to be released in coming weeks, is touted to pit players against ‘endless waves of undead.’
The game has been marred by several issues ever since it was released for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC last week. The Steam version of Dead Island was supposedly a development build which faced various problems. Subsequently, a patch was launched to counter this issue. But with it, came an announcement from the developer which warned players that installing the patch may wipe their saved games.
Dead Island is a first person horror action-adventure title that is centered on the challenge of survival on a zombie-infested island. The story takes place in Royal Palms Resort in Banoi which is mysteriously hit by a zombie epidemic. Gamers don the roles of four survivors who are faced with the only option of enduring this menace.
The Bloodbath Arena pack for Dead Island is expected to be made available later this month by developer Techland.
Grease Coming to Kinect and PlayStation Move
AppId is over the quota
Grease, yes Grease, the very last movie/musical you'd ever expect to be adapted into a video game, is coming to Kinect and PlayStation Move on October 25th. The game features Grease's "signature choreography" and "legendary songs" so you can dance and sing along like you were John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John in the '70s.
The game supports up to eight players for two teams of four. One team can be the Pink Ladies; the other, the T-Birds. Who knows, I'm just making that up. Not the eight players part; that's real.
Grease is all about singing and dancing, it doesn't matter if you're even good:
I will guarantee that there will be an Achievement/Trophy called "It's Electrifying".It doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's what you do with your dancin' shoes.
~Vince Fontaine, Grease (1978)
It's funny, I know all of this Grease stuff from pop-culture alone. I've never once actually watched the movie all the way through (nor for more than 15 minutes), and I've never seen the musical. I did, however, pull that quote from IMDB.
Any Grease fans out there? Did I get my facts right?
Metal Gear Solid, Zone of Enders HD Collections Coming to Vita
AppId is over the quota
Well, make it four things... five... six. OK, we've lost count, but the point is both HD Collections from Konami in 2012 will make their way to the Vita as well. The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, containing both Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 will be available on the PlayStation Vita. The Zone of the Enders HD Collection will also be available on the PlayStation Vita.
Maybe because that platform already has a second thumb stick.
Monster Hunter 4 Coming to 3DS, Not PS Vita
AppId is over the quota
Hey, Japan loves Monster Hunter. Nintendo wants Japan to love the 3DS. What better way to do that than with Monster Hunter?
While the 3DS Circle-Pad was leaked with the news that the Wii Monster Hunter would be making its way to the 3DS, Monster Hunter 4's development wasn't known until this morning. The fact that the next full Monster Hunter game will be on the 3DS may have Japanese gamers thinking twice about the purchase of a PlayStation Vita.
The title isn't exactly a shout out to Western gamers, but in Nintendo's backyard, the 3DS may still do just fine.
Unknown Twin Pack coming September 6th
Enthusiastic uncharted 3 , but played have not the first two games? Now, the Wouldathunk?
On their official blog, Sony the Uncharted-greatest hits-dual Pack, with just the uncharted: Drake's fortune and the late Edition of uncharted 2: among thieves-both only for $40. Both copies are the greatest hits version and the Pack released on 6 September.
But that's not all. A "Super coupon" are also included with DLC from the uncharted 2 GOTY, two items of DLC for Fallout 3: a Nathan Drake PSN avatar and the uncharted 3 announcement dynamic theme. Naughty Dog wants to thank only us for our continued support:
You will we focus on the completion to UNCHARTED 3, we look back and are humiliated by the awards we received for our first game in the series, Drake's fortune and we never imagined that our second entry, among thieves, would be the 2nd highest-rated video game of ever, over 200 GOTY receive awards and 41 perfect review scores.
Uncharted 3 come two months later November 1st, so players enough time to play through the first two games in the double pack. How handy!
Nintendo 3ds coming price in August [news]
hope to do the same, even though I already have my 3ds Estar?a, that her lowered so that people will be encouraged good price to buy it in Europe, although if lower prices in the United States and Jap?n, the M?s is likely to do the same in Europein terms of the free games, it's great, and I hope that Tambi?n in Europe do, but my question is.... ?Como Distinguir?n between a person, that is the console bought before or on August 11, Despu?s or at reduced price?
Adem?s, a major step forward, since Est?n already announced that Habr?n GBA for virtual console, games, that the thing xD encouraged
The console itself Est? down to 15,000 $249.99 349.95 Australian 249.99 $ 169.99 and 25,000 yen. This represents a reduction of 40, 32% and 29% or. This Tambi?n provides an advantage for those who already the console M?s All? of the games because if 3DS-Sales expand, the number of players online play to higher can be bought, much M?s take advantage of the system.
If anyone is interested, I did a Art?culo about this, they can get to my signature.

Xbox music coming to the 360 autumn [update]
[Update] Therefore, you must be quite clear with facts when writing. I'm talking not about me, I am talking about the guy who showed ball-Steve Ballmer the last speech for business insiders (the source of this information). He gave a "correction" of Twitter, say, that this Xbox Music is not coming, but Kinect is speech recognition. What he meant to say was "Xbox." Music. ", the command they will say to use your Kinect."
You will find below! Not only important missing a period, if it is your friend.
Here is the fix below, followed by history, which we originally booked.
Correction: an earlier version of this story incorrectly said that Microsoft launches a new music service called Xbox Music this fall. This is false. Users (in some regions) can already 11 million songs on Zune Marketplace on Xbox Live, and this service is not changed. What voice commands through this fall is Kinect, and the possibility that the music for "Xbox." "h. music." This is the command no new name service.
[Original story] The Xbox 360 has integrated into its the dashboard since music had some time on Zune. But now that the Zune is dead but, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has revealed plans to ' Xbox Music' bring the 360 this fall.
When it start this fall, all searchable comes with more than 11 million songs for download to the console, your voice through Kinect.
Autumn is also the time when 360 control update roles take Microsoft a new Xbox that will probably enable this new music service.
We provide more details as they become available.

Next PlayStation system coming in sight?
Nintendo's working already on the sequel for the Wii and the company seems to be for its launch 2012 transmission. Rumors about the next Xbox appeared to have gaming system is in the works and the time faded. And those who hear such news of Sony's front, have been waiting for this could be, except that resort.
According to a post about Eurogamer received official confirmation from Sony, that the company developed currently a new device 'follow the PS3.' If gaming inquired about the company's research and development costs, the Giants executive Vice President and Chief Finance revealed officer Masaru Kato reportedly, that means to craft of the next PlayStation systems reserve the company is.
"For the home equipment the PS3 still a product has life,", said Sony CFO and Executive Vice President Masaru Kato. "But this is a platform company, for the future platform - when we will present what product will not I, that can - discuss, but our development work is already underway, so the costs are incurred."
Sony's Kazuo Hirai has already noticed that the company not yet looking forward to the next iteration of PlayStation. In addition, the company has consistently stressed 10 years long life cycle on the PS3. However, the system is reached his fifth anniversary in November opened to reflect sufficient scope for the manufacturer to the next device in the family of the PlayStation.
If we see a new PlayStation device before the PS3 of estimated life cycle is completed in fact still not clear. Sony has issued no official statement with this greetings.
LEGO Harry Potter: 5-7 years announced (in addition, is coming to NGP)
You look terribly bright on the screen of the NGP, Harry.Right, right - we all know that you LEGO Harry Potter: years 5-7 is not a brainer. Warner Bros. and tales of traveller telegraphed this when the last game was called LEGO Harry Potter: years 1-4.
The magical world of LEGO was one of the weaker tales of traveller, albeit much effects better than each iteration of LEGO Indiana Jones. Considering that the series was founded with a source of magic (the force), one might think "real" magic would have had a great time, but it seemed to the overcomplicated environments. It is difficult to enjoy interacting with what is around when you don't know what interact in the first place.
In particular, the press also promises a NGP version of LEGO Harry Potter: 5-7 years. The press release makes no mention of as a key name, either. Much of the Sony PSP successor remains a secret, but expected that the company E3 press conference will solve many of our questions.
LEGO Harry Potter: 5-7 years arrives at some point in this vacation season.
