ME3 Single Player DLC finally confirmed

leviathan-mass-effect



You played the extended cut of ME3 and now you've been waiting for DLC which doesn't feature new weapon packs or other bullshit. You wanted more campaign, you heard about some rumours, got your hopes up and now you can be happy:
"Mass Effect 3: Leviathan is the first story-driven, single player DLC to be made available since Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut. Leviathan expands upon the events of Mass Effect 3 with gripping and emotional storytelling, compelling new characters, powerful weapons and unique upgrades. Players will be able to discover more about the origins of the reapers as they race across the galaxy to unravel the mystery that surrounds the fabled Leviathan."
Reaper origins! I wonder how much of that DLC fits into the narrative offered by the extend cut. I bet Bioware has been painstaking in that regard... to make it make sense.

From the Bioware blog:
"Something lurks in the dark corners of space, something powerful enough to kill a Reaper. Shepard must discover the most closely guarded secret in the galaxy before the Reapers silence it forever. Discover more about the origins of the Reapers as you race across the galaxy to find the Leviathan. Unravel the dark history of the Reaper Race before it is too late. Coming later this summer there is no war, only the harvest."
We'll also get a chance to explore new parts of the Citadel.

How to connect your Iphone's Wi Fi to the Xbox 360



How to connect your Iphone's Wifi to the Xbox 360

I was recently tidying chords behind the TV and I managed to break the internet when I un-plugged the modem - the connection to the ISP couldn't be made. I was gutted as I wanted to play some Dead Space but alas! My game save was 'in the cloud' so I was prevented from playing.

I sat defeated cursing my first world problem. Whilst doing so I got a text message on my Iphone 4S and I got a little twinkle in my eye. I could try and use the Wifi Hotspot function the phone has and see if the Xbox 360 would accept that as a source of internet.

The short answer, is yes, you can connect the iphone wifi to the Xbox!

Here's how to connect the two devices.

  • Turn your iphone's Personal Hot Spot on.
  • Turn on the xbox
  • If you have an ethernet plugged in to the xbox, remove it.
  • Go to the Network settings section of the Xbox 360
  • Identify the wireless signel of your Iphone - it will be your Iphone's name. Select it.
  • Enter the password of your hotspot wifi as given to you on the phone.
  • Once satisfied the connection has been made, sign into Xbox and you are away.

Using your Iphone's data does run the risk of you blowing your datacap and and you'll possibly have limited connectivity via your 3G network so I doubt you'll be doing a multi-player marathon anytime soon but you should be able to access your saved games at the very least!

I imagine this little trick is also be able to be used by Android phones and the like that have the same wifi hotspot connections.

List of Halo 4 Achievements
343 have released the list of achievements for gaming point fans to get for Halo 4. The standard complete the missions, get points are all there but the one I think people might enjoy is 'Bros to the Close' where you have to protect uor marines from death on Mission 4 on heroic mode. Given how fans have done many cool things with marines in various halo games, that's a nice nod.
