Road to Glory in NCAA FB 10 Detailed
EA has released details about the Road to Glory Mode in NCAA Football 10. The mode is essentially like Campus Legend with new presentation elements. Here are the details:
The new Road to Glory mode allows you to choose a position, embark on a college career and then reflect on your greatest moments through video presentations presented by Andrews. For the first time ever, your actual in-game highlights will be featured in these broadcast-style presentations. Plus, an all-new, completely redesigned 3-D dorm room prominently displays triumphant moments through photos, trophies, NCAA Football news and more. New online leaderboards allow you to compare your legend versus every other legend across the nation. The comparison of each position can be sorted by everyone who is playing that particular position with the same team, the same conference or can be compared across all NCAA teams.
See a trailer for the mode here.

Reveiw of Tiger Woods 10
| Welcome back everyone! I am no longer going to be doing Blazenhawks is Burning. Instead, I'm now going to be doing reviews on games to let you know if you should buy it, rent it, or don’t even think about it. Also, I am going to be rating the game/person/company on a star rating of 0 to 5. Five stars being the Max. So let’s get this started. The only thing that was wrong with this game was when you are playing online you get this weird things happen were you just start in the middle of know where a big glitch with the game. |
I would say to buy this game, it is worth the $60. Thank you for reading and you can also follow us on twitter, facebook and MySpace just search for Xbox Live Network or click it on our page. Have a good week!

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 Review
The best golf game that an MS console has ever seen. Could still use a few engine tweak, however.
The courses look great, but a bit more fine-tuning of the character models is in order.
Crowd chants and dialog add to the tour excitement.
As long as the online tourneys keep coming, Tiger Woods 10 will have a lengthy shelf life.
Pushing the “always on” envelop.
Overall Score NOT an average

Xbox 360 to Stick Around Til 2015
The Xbox 360's recently unveiled motion control technology will help extend the console's life span into 2015, according to Microsoft executive Shane Kim.
Speaking frankly about the company's E3 showing in an interview with Venturebeat, Kim said 'We firmly believe that the Xbox 360 has a life cycle through 2015 (10 years after the launch). Project Natal is a great innovation. It will work with every Xbox 360 sold. It's not about pushing more pixels on the screen. It's about how to break down barriers that stop people from playing games.'
So impressive was Natal's debut that Kim believes it gave Microsoft the upper hand against its traditional rivals Sony and Nintendo. 'I think we won,' said Kim when asked how he rated the three company's E3 conferences. 'It's not just me saying that. It's pretty universal. We had something very special yesterday, starting with the games portfolio. We had a lot of content for a normal E3 briefing. But Project Natal doesn't come along every year, and it is very difficult to match.'
Kim also went on to reveal the origin of Natal's name, saying 'Natal is a city in Brazil, which is where one of our key development team members is from. Natal also means birth. We thought it was appropriate for what we are doing. This is the birth of the next-generation of home entertainment.'
Forza 3 Will Ship On Two Discs
In an interview, Forza Motorsport 3 content director John Wendl of Turn 10, confirmed the upcoming racer would ship on two discs. As rumors last year noted, the core game will come on the game's first disc while the second will be reserved for other content such as vehicles and maps. "It is going to ship on two discs," Wendl said. "Disc one is the full experience, even disc one is bigger than any other racing game out there. Disc two includes a lot of extra cars, even a handful of tracks."
When asked if the second disc would act as a data transfer, downloading the additional content to the hard drive for use with the first disc, Wendl told us that was "exactly right." While Turn 10 assures all gamers will be able to enjoy the full Forza 3 experience, we now have confirmation that not all gamers will be able to enjoy all 400 vehicles promised at the Microsoft press briefing.

Mass Effect 2 Hands On
BioWare played with our emotions quite a bit in the lead up to E3. The gaming world was left in limbo as the company teased us with rumors of Commander Shepard's death, only to finally let us know that your character started in the first Mass Effect will carry through as the main protagonist straight through the entire trilogy. Well, it will if you manage to keep Commander Shepard alive. This darker entry into the Mass Effect franchise will find Shepard making decisions that will ultimately build together into a web of your creation that can mean life or death by the end of the game. You'll only get to carry your Shepard on to Mass Effect 3 if you manage to survive Mass Effect 2.

- You can do online franchise in madden by yourself even in madden 10.
- Madden will have two new camera angles. Zoomed and wide

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Demo Hands On
Yesterday's Microsoft Press Conference showcased, for the first time, a live gameplay demo for the hotly anticipated Modern Warfare 2. Today we went behind closed doors with Activision and Infinity Ward to get a more complete, more in-depth look at the demo. We got a great look at the impressive ice-climbing animations, the speedy snowmobile escape, and everything in between. While yesterday's demo cut away significant stretches of action with screens stating "In the interest of time…" and "Things do not always go as planned…", our demo showed us exactly how it all went awry, and how that snowmobile chase really ended.

Forza 3 Hands-On
Turn 10's Forza series is known for providing a realistic racing experience. But it's always lacked that true sense of speed. For all the great damage modeling, the collisions didn't always deliver the visceral impact. That's probably not going to be an issue with Forza Motorsport 3. Forza 3 seems to have finally nailed that sense of speed and the collisions, well, you really feel them this time.

Burrning Halo 3
Welcome everyone to the new and improved web site this will be the first of many on our new website. To Start out I want to thank dues legend who did a great job on the web site. So for this burning I am going to burn thexbln.com man the web site…. Just joking why would I burn our own website. So, on a serious note in this post I will be burning one of the Xbox’s classic in Halo 3.
The reason why I am burring this game because this game sucks compared to all of the other shooter. Bungie brought the game out way to fast the graphics are really bad the game play is really bad. I mean come on who wants to play that game when the only thing people do is jump around like they are on the moon. The story mode is really lame also why would you want play as both people meaning I just want to play as master chief not as a alien. When playing online the ranking system is almost impossible to rank up you have to many games to rank up and you have to win which is kind of ok but if you lose more than 3 games you go down in rank plus to rank up you have to finish in the top 3 or 2. The maps are really bad they are way to big for a 5 on and the way people die is stupid like a shotgun can kill you right away but other guns take 2 clips to kill that person. No wonder why Microsoft left Bungie because it was supposed to be there best selling game but it tank bad. And I see that they made another one why would they make another one when we know its going to be bad like this on was. So since we are at a new website I am going to add a new future at the end of every burn I am going to rate every post and tell you if you should by the game, rent it or just don’t even think about the game its just that bad.
For Halo 3 I am going to give the game 2 out of 5 stars.
Even though this game is bad I would say you can rent the game for 5 days and that would be it I want to thank everyone for taking the time for read this post if you have any comments please don’t hesitate to place a comment telling me what you think or even give me some games, companies, or people you would like me to burn
