NBA LIVE 08 Goes 5 On 5 On-Line

If you've been waiting to take on your friends in NBA live '08 while on-line, then your wait is over, at least if you own a PS3. A new patch is available for NBA Live '08, but what's more surprising is that the PS3 is getting it first! Usually, the Xbox 360 would get any new cool update first, but PS3 owners will have the opportunity to have 5 on 5 on-line play with 10 people from 10 different consoles.

The Xbox 360 patch is due out later this month. Check the press release:

"In NBA LIVE 08, all 10 players on the floor can now be controlled by individual users on 10 different consoles, removing the use of artificial intelligence altogether. Player movement, decision making and game outcome can now be completely dependant on how you play as an online team, bringing you closer to a real life game of basketball than ever before. This new game mode enables any number of players from one to five on different consoles to connect and play online against another team of up to five players on five different consoles. The CPU will take control of any players not controlled by users."

Shaq: Video Games Make Kids Fat!

In an interview with ESPN, Shaq states that video games along with fast food society have caused kids to become pudgy. Shaq has resently gotten a new reality show which helps kids get into shape. Check out the quote below from Shaq:

"First, only 6 percent of all schools in America have mandatory gym," O'Neal said. "Second, the food we eat is a problem. We're living in a fast-food society now. Third, kids aren't as active as they were when me and you were growing up. They have Sega, Nintendo, Atari. Video games aren't allowing kids to be as active as we were."

He makes a good point that kids are not as active as they used to be. But blaming it all on video games is a little steep. How about parents or lack there of being a serious cause? Just a thought.

And one more thing, Atari Shaq? You're joking right?
Oh well, at lease Shaq fu isn't destroying kids brains with another Kazzam movie.

Gears of Golf?

While many gamers eagerly await the next 'Gears of War' installment. The designers of the game have something else in mind.

Epic Games boss Mark Rein has confirmed a spin-off of the game entitled Gears of War Golf. And yeah, he's totally serious.

Rein says “So we got an animator to make a golf swing for Marcus Fenix, and then a programmer took one of the Gears levels and added some mounds and stuff to make a course.” GoW’s grenade launching mechanic was used for the ball, so let’s all hope it reaches the hole safely.
