In Dead City, human players must survive for five minutes as they wait for emergency evacuation from a contaminated village. Utilizing two bases connected by a barricaded catwalk, humans have few weapons at their disposal as they fight to stay alive.Dead City is unique because it utilizes a day and night cycle. Using the newly added filters in Halo 3, the map changes from Day to dusk to dawn. As it gets more and more difficult to see the tension to survive the winding clock rises.

Recap: X3F LIVE's visit into 2Fort
On Friday evening X3F LIVE made it's triumphant return with an hour long romp in 2Fort, from last week's Community Content. While the initial match of multi-flag went horribly wrong due to my inability to set a time limit, Xbox Live's wonky server issues and the horde of X3F readers attempting to get into the 16-player game, the event ended nicely with four solid rounds of single-flag.We'd like to thank everyone who participated in the event and promise you won't have to wait long for another X3F LIVE evening.[iTunes] Subscribe to X3F TV directly in iTunes.[Zune] Subscribe to the X3F TV directly (Zune Marketplace link coming soon).[RSS] Add the X3F TV feed to your RSS aggregator and have the show delivered automatically.[MP4] Download the MP4 Directly.
X3F TV -- XBLA in Brief: Mr. Driller Online
It's time for another edition of XBLA in Brief, huzzah! This week we take a look at Mr Driller Online. In something of a departure for XBLA in Brief, we actually picked up the full version of the title (what can we say? we like the little guy) and gave it a spin. Unfortunately, before we could even be bothered to knock out this video, we had to make another one detailing Mister Driller Online's horribly broken multiplayer, which is ironic given the game's title. Still, the single player is fun and worth a look for casual gamers and puzzle addicts. Check out the video above and let us know what you think.

Announcement: X3F TV gets its own feed
Hey fanboys, just a quick announcement to say that we've created a new RSS feed for X3F TV, our video podcast. Previously it was attached to the same feed as the Xbox 360 Fancast, but it turns out that not everyone wants to download X3F TV along with the Fancast. So, we decided to split them up. For those already subscribed to the audio Fancast, you don't have to do a thing. You will no longer receive videos via your aggregator of choice (iTunes, Zune, etc). There may be some videos lingering on the feed as various services refresh everything, but future videos -- barring any mishaps -- shouldn't show up on the Fancast feed. Those wanting to subscribe to X3F TV may do so using the links at the bottom of this post. All of these links will also be included at the bottom of future X3F TV posts.

X3F TV -- Mr. Driller Live multiplayer is a laggy mess
var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/xbox/XBLA_Mr_Driller_multiplayer_is_broken'; We hope you weren't too excited to snag Mr. Driller Online for Xbox Live Arcade. We decided to take the plunge and put down our 800 Microsoft Points. At first, everything seemed fine. We plowed our way through a few single player levels and Mr. Driller is as fun as it's ever been. However, once we started up multiplayer things went terribly wrong. In short, the game is unplayable over Xbox Live, which is particularly ironic given the title of the game. We're not sure why XBLA games in particular seem to be the worst offenders when it comes to online lag, but Mr. Driller Online lags so much that it actually moves backwards.

X3F TV -- Battlefield Bad Company: Free vs Paid Weapon Stat Comparison
var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gaming_news/Battlefield_Bad_Company_Free_vs_Paid_Weapon_Stat_Comparison'; When Electronic Arts confirmed that specific weapons would be made available for purchase over the Xbox Live Marketplace (and included in the special edition) for Battlefield: Bad Company they assured gamers the balance of the game would not be compromised. Despite that claim, the fear from the community is that the paid weapons will be overly powerfull and that gamers who decided to opt out of the purchase would be punished at a multiplayer level.Ever viligant in our quest of the truth, this very special edition of X3F TV will compare the free weapons in the Battlefield: Bad Company beta to the special weapons that will be featured exclusively in the Gold Edition of the game and for sale over the Xbox Live Marketplace when the game launches this summer.Using the in-game comparison tool included in the closed beta of Battlefiled: Bad Company, we've compared each paid weapon for the five soldier classes to their free counterparts.

Ah, another sweet, sweet episode of XBLA in Brief. This week we take a look at the latest puzzle offering TiQal. That's not too surprising. After all, we do it for every new XBLA release.

X3F TV -- XBLA in Brief: Bliss Island and Brain Challenge
XBLA in Brief returns this week with a two-for-one look at both Bliss Island and Brain Challenge. Bliss Island is a strange collection of boring mini-games that clocks in at 400 MS points. Brain Challenge is a pretty good knockoff of Brain Age for the Nintendo DS. One of them is actually entertaining. That game is not Bliss Island. We'll give you one guess as to which game was halfway decent.

X3F TV -- XBLA in Brief: Rocketmen: Axis of Evil
The new video version of XBLA in Brief is back this week, taking a look at Rocketmen: Axis of Evil. Despite having one of the more unique names on Xbox Live Arcade, Rocketmen turns out to be yet another omni-directional shooter. You know, move with the left stick, shoot with the right stick. Rinse, repeat. It does throw a few extra bits into the mix, namely an RPG upgrade system that lets you level up your character and weapons. It's not bad, but it's definitely not great. Also, it's worth noting that the "ending" of trial version could use some work. Worth 800 points? Based solely on the trial version, we say no.
