    Not a whole lot going down in Xbox 360 land this week. Oh sure, there are rumors of price cuts, but nothing really solid to latch onto. Except Braid. In short, Braid is an absolutely brilliant game. You should go buy it. Seriously. We'll wait. It is short, sweet and wonderful. Anyway, check out the latest that Xbox 360 Fanboy has to offer below. Oh, and enjoy the fan made Viva Piñata video inspired by the Halo 3 "Believe" ad campaign.Community Xbox 360 Fancast 078 -- Progressively More EroticIn which a feud continues X3F TV -- XBLA in Brief: BraidAbsolutely a must play X3F Review: Sid Meier's Civilization RevolutionTruly a revolution?

    As the Massively crew has been at E3 along with the Joystiq crew, our update this week comes a little late.

    We'll admit it, with all the E3 planning going on, the minds at Xbox 360 Fanboy are a little frazzled. So, we'll make this Week in Review simple. That's the official X3F sticker up there. We'll be taking a truckload of 'em to E3. Very soon, you'll see pictures of Cliff Bleszinski, Peter Molyneux, Dennis Dyack, and all the other relevant 360 designers wearing our stickers and promoting our website ... whether they want to or not. As long as we can slap a sticker on someone and snap a picture before we get arrested, we figure it's fair game. If we have any stickers left afterward, maybe we'll give 'em away at the Joystiq reader meetup.Community Stuff Xbox 360 Fancast 076 -- Decisions, and also E3Of spineless men Microsoft's E3 08 Press Conference: let's play bingo!E3 Home Edition X3F and Joystiq's reader meetup: Thursday, July 17th in Santa MonicaCome be threatened by our devestating good looks!

    Well kids, it seems like everyone is holding their cards close to their collective chests as we begin the final run up to E3. That doesn't mean we don't have a few interesting news bits to share though. For one, the Xbox 360 Mega Man 9 evidence continues to pile up, despite Capcom's claims to the contrary. Gears of War 2 news also continues to dribble out, and we're more than happy to relate it to you. Find these stories and more below.Community Stuff Xbox 360 Fancast 075 -- PornoisseurWhat does Pornoisseur mean? X3F TV -- XBLA in Brief: SoulcaliburAwesome game. No online play. WTF?

    It's been a mixed bag in the MMOG world this week, with wide-ranging news from Age of Conan, Lord of the Rings Online, the huge DCMA takedown by Linden Lab (and the folks who got screwed) and more. Perhaps one of the biggest highlights in the Massively staff week was getting to jump into SOE's PlanetSide MMOFPS. We were able to take on regular players (and die quite a bit when large numbers of them figured out where we were) as the evil "Black Ops" faction in a wildly fun GM-run event. If you missed out on any of the headlines (or the fun) have no fear; we've got the scoop for you! News Are female characters really penalized in Age of Conan? First glimpse of Age of Conan PvP gear!

    After last week's video extravaganza, we return the Week in Review back to its normal, news-laden self. While there is plenty of worthwhile news contained in the links below, we implore you to watch the latest edition of XBLA in Brief.

Not only that but we have retrospectives on Ninja Gaiden and Tomonobu Itagaki. Simply amazing.For your viewing pleasure, we've embedded our video impressions of Crash Time.
