Fable Anniversary Coming This Year on Xbox 360

In between the fits of pain and vomiting that passing two kidney stones are causing me to have (on my birthday, no less!), I found this cool little tidbit of news, and it is almost, almost, enough for me to miss my 360. 


The original Fable (and The Lost Chapters expansion) is getting an HD makeover for the 360, and will be released later this year.  On this morning's podcast, Major Nelson made the announcement, and it was revealed that beyond looking prettier, the game would feature faster loading times, SmartGlass support, and leader boards so you can see who kicks chickens best.  Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky and they will release Fable HD on the PC. 

Uprising DLC for Call fo Duty: Black Ops II Bringing Ray Liotta to Xbox on April 16

The newest batch of DLC for Call of Duty: Black Ops II has been revealed as Uprising, and will be available for Xbox 360 on April 16.  It brings that now standard four new maps and new Zombies setting called Mob of the Dead.  Much like Call of the Dead from Black Ops, this one is bringing some star power with it.  Not only does it feature Ray Liotta, but it also features Michael Madsen, Joe Pantoliano, and Chazz Palminteri.  Pretty inspired casting for a mob themed level.

The DLC is going to be 1200 MS Points, and is, of course, included in the Season Pass.  It will be headed to the PlayStation 3 and PC versions at a later date.

Grand Theft Auto V Box Art

After deciding not to post anything for April Fool's Day this year (not even real news, because you can't trust anything on the internet on April 1), I can post the Grand Theft Auto V box art.

Of course, we still don't know if the game will make it to the PC, and odds are good that we won't get even a sniff of it on the Wii U.  We do know, however, that the game will be on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on September 17.

Waste Time in Halo 4 to Earn Free MS Points

Finally!  You can earn approximately ten dollars worth of MS points for playing one hundred and forty hours of Halo 4 and spending over three thousand MS points ($37.50 USD) on Halo related items in the Xbox Marketplace.  Doing the first will net you 600 MS Points, while the latter will earn you 200.  You also need to do all of this by the end of the month.

As you can see, you don't need to play one hundred and forty hours to get some points.  You can also earn some points for playing to the thirty-five or seventy hour marks.  At least now you can tell people that you actually get something more than personal satisfaction and Gamerscore out of playing your video games!
