It’s Saturday, and let’s face it, there’s probably some point in the day at which you have no idea what to do with yourself. You’ve already gamed, visited family, went out to the store, ate, watched TV and probably even had a nap. What now? Why not support a good cause, like the Halton Autistic Family Support Group, and watch a few friends game until . . . well, they either pass out or finish. It’s kind of like NASCAR. Except you die in NASCAR . . . or your car catches on fire instead of passing out from 72 hours of playing Metroid games. A little less exciting, but these guys are 20 times better than NASCAR.

Bethesda sent us their latest cinematic trailer for Brink, their upcoming FPS. Watch, enjoy and don’t forget to tell us what you think in the comments!

If you’ve been visiting VGTribune for a while now, the podcast and other posts have made it clear that I’m not a fan of turn-based games. Not in the slightest.

But when Akyss Games’ latest trailer for Mimana Iyar Chronicle showed up in our inbox, I became pleasantly surprised. It combines all the things you know and love about RPGs with the fast paced, real-time fighting I love. For those of you looking for a fresh take on an RPG, like me, let us know what you think about Mimana Iyar Chronicle in the comments!

Earlier in the week, Bungie announced that it would be ‘Dropping a multiplayer bomb’.  Now Bungie didn’t let anything else slip but it seems one Taiwanese website knows a little more than the rest of us leaking what looks like a new trailer for the game, and it looks pretty damn impressive.

Now this may be a really good hoax, but it certainly looks a step in the right direction from Halo’s current multiplayer, if the video is to be believed we’re getting jet packs, stab moves and some pretty EXPLOSIONS.

This could be anything, a hoax, a leak or even a planted leak from Bungie themselves all we do know is this looks pretty awesome.

Warning: There’s some “strong language” in that there video. You have been warned!

We’ve been doing some major infrastructure work behind the scenes this weekend so this Monday Morning Blues is specially themed.

A video released today by the folks at e-mpire.com shows the apparent lag that Microsoft’s project Natal still has. Now, we did see some of this at E3 but we kep in mind that was an early demo.

The folks at e-mpire prove there theory using the trusted method of Slow-Mo and keeping count to estimate that Natal has a lag of 5 frames per second. To prove their point they used a recently released video of someone break dancing on screen using the infamous E3 dodgeball demo.

Now, if we turn our head to the finer points in the video you will notice several things:

1. You can’t actually see what is happening on screen clear enough to judge if there is lag or not

2. Input lag + Display Lag = More Lag.

3. That’s some pretty cool break dancing

4. Hammer Time!

Microsoft’s Director of Policy and Enforcement for Xbox LIVE has spoken about the Video released earlier today.

Continuing on from the above he later on said:

“Wow tracking my @ reply stream, you guys woulda said worse! I spoke to The Pro and he’s certainly regretful about the tone. (cont)”

“We try to do our job protecting the service dispassionately. His comments about console banning were out of context and referred to modding.”

“Case closed, thanks for bringing it to my attention!”

Be sure to follow @Stepto for any more tweets from the man himself. And like he said “Case Closed”

The following is an apparent Xbox Live Moderator called ‘The Pro’ taking his power a little too far banning people at will and at random today during a game of Call of Duty now if this footage is real, Microsoft take note and please remove this gentlemen’s powers NOW!

UPDATE: Majornelson has just commented on Twitter about this “Yes I’ve seen the Video. Yes, I have sent it to @Septo for review.” (Stephen Toulouse being Director of Policy and Enforcement for Xbox Live)
