CastleMiner Z update 1.21

The next update will be compromised of big fixes:

Quote:

"The Descent" Biome as been restored.

Dragon spawn distances have been adjusted

Fixed shotgun no spread bug.

Fixed recipes don't show up bug.

Show game difficulty on session browser.

Made all ores slightly richer.

Crate Duplication Bug Fixed.

Xbox Notification have be relocated on the Screen (people were complaning they were getting them killed)"

The descent biome is constantly referred to as "OREland." In the current version; this biome vanishes. (To the dismay of many a castleminer)

Also, the dupe glitch is finally going to get itself patched. It was quite annoying to see people within five minutes of the game with bloodstone weapons. ;)

Both of these games are meant for Kinect, and are currently 50% off.

Minecraft on Xbox 360: What you should know.

Some of the rumors surrounding the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft are absolutely absurd.

"Minecraft on Xbox 360 will only be playable with the Kinect sensor."

I'm not even aware as to how this rumor came to be. Let's get the fact straight; You CAN use a controller if you so choose to.

"The Xbox 360 version will be lacking most of the updates that have been made for the PC version."

Wrong, while it is known to be lacking the hunger bar in several previews; this does not confirm that the game itself will lack most of the updates. The preview is just that.

"The game itself will be released in spring 2012."

Entirely possible, but the trailer description itself says otherwise. "Here's a little teaser for the Minecraft for Xbox 360 release later this winter."

Xbox Live 12 Days of Christmas: Bastion

Plant vs Zombies on PS Vita

I wasn't surprised at this announcement.

Features of the game have not been unveiled.

The game will most likely be a port, but it should offer some new option for people who already own the game a previous platform.

(PS Vita version probably won't... )

Ah well! Move along now.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Giveaway

Nyan Cat Adventure The Game (Xbox Live Indie Game)

21st Street Games has launched something that might be of interest to you.

Apparently, it involves the internet sensation nyan cat.

Judging from this video; it appears to be colorful, and the 8-bit graphics fit it well.

As per gameplay; it only involves one button. This may be viewed as simplistic, but the level designs offer a challenge that you wouldn't expect.

There isn't much else I can say about this; if you're an meme fanatic like myself; then go to the indie section of Xbox live, and download it.

Otherwise, you may be confused as to what is taking place on your screen.

Skyrim Giveaway! Epic limited edition!

It's time for another giveaway!

This one is of EPIC proportions! I will be giving away a copy of Skyrim. This isn't your ordinary run of the mill copy, but the limited edition version!

Now. let us look at exactly what this package includes:

1) Skyrim: Obviously, the game itself. Skyrim would have to be the most highly anticipated game of the current generation of consoles. Rightfully so; Bethseda has shipped ten million copies, and have sold a monumental 3.5 million units.

2) Artbook: Loaded to the brim with original artwork. This will give you a new found appreciation to the work, and detail that was poured into this game.

3) Dragon Figure: Often said to be the gem of this collection; this magnificent statue holds unprecedented attention to detail. This statue is also bundles with a perch.

Did I mention I will be giving away three versions of this game? PS3, Xbox 360, and PC versions!

Seaman for Kinect!

For those of you who don't know; Seaman is a game that was originally launched for the Dreamcast.

What was the objective of this game? Talking to a fish-man hybrid, and unlocking his secrets.

The player had the ability to interact with the wisened creature via a microphone.

In the process; you would help the creature gain knowledge, and thus grow.

This game would make a perfect fit with the Kinect Sensor.

So, why hasn't this been updated, and ported to Xbox Live Arcade with Kinect support?

I suppose everyone is busy making a sequel to Fighters Uncaged.

*Shudder*

CastleMiner Z Update 1.2 Dragon details released!

Quote from the developer:

"We are finally done with the dragons and we have some details.



There are 5 dragons



Fire

Forest

Sand

Ice

Undead



The dragons will appear about half way through each biome, or about every 3 days if you stay still. They are very hard to kill and get progressivly harder. They can also destory certain blocks or turn blocks in to other types of blocks. However the dragons will only destroy stuff in hard mode. The drop some pretty great treasure, so they are worth fighting. But you can be quiet and hide from them if you want them to go away. They are VERY loud and you will hear them coming from a long distance.The Undead dragon will only appear in the last Biome "Hell on Earth".I will be posting some videos soon."

This is really exciting news. Initially; it was thought that only one dragon would exist in any given world, but it has been made clear that one dragon will inhabit each biome.

Needless to say; I'll be looking forward to this update.

Youtube is down.

It seems like youtube is undergoing maintenance.

The website should be back to normal soon enough.

Youtube on Xbox Live

Youtube has arrived on Xbox Live.

The app must be downloaded before using Youtube itself.

Kinect can be used in conjunction with this. (i.e. Searching for videos)

Forgotten Gems: Shenmue Trilogy

CastleMiner Z 1.2 Update to include Dragons!

Xbox 360 New dashboard update--December 6, 2011

My impressions on the new dashboard:

Overall better layout.

Ads have become more prevalent. Do not want.

Kinect compatible. This is welcome.

Some items have yet to be added to the dashboard. (i.e. Youtube)

Meh, could be better I suppose.

Xbox Live is down--December 6, 2011

It seems Microsoft has botched their much awaited update.

Currently, there are numerous complaints of people who are unable to update their console.

They can't even access Xbox Live itself.

Microsoft; get your act together. People expect a certain level of quality for something they pay for.

This post will be updated.

Update: Microsoft is working to get the problem fixed.

What are your thoughts on this issue? Leave a comment below.

Your input is of value, and you do not need an account to post a comment.

Voices must be heard; so mistakes like these are taken more seriously.

As of now; Xbox Live seems to be working. Will update soon...
