There is one game that was not on the list the last week and it is Money Island: Special Edition. This game has been on the top ten in previous weeks. This week it took the place of Shadow Complex which had been on the list for a number of weeks. All of these games have earned ratings of about four out of five stars or more. What this means is that not only are there a lot of gamers buying the games but they are also enjoying them. Check out one of these ten games on Xbox Live Arcade.

Modern Warfare 2 Avatar Clothing

If you have gotten a chance to check out the complete ghost outfit from the new Modern Warfare 2 game, you are aware that this outfit is a good look. Well, this avatar clothing is going to be released to the Xbox Live Marketplace in the very near future. Actually, this outfit of avatar clothing should be in the marketplace starting today for all of you to download. Just remember that you do have to pay for them using your microsoft points. If you are a PlayStation 3 owner, there will also soon be a few Modern Warfare 2 themes coming out for your system as well.
At the moment, I am not sure of what the price is. According to the official Infinity Ward twitter website, free content was suggested for this but it was rejected. The Creative Strategist, Robert Bowling, wrote on twitter, "I asked for some to be free but was denied." I wonder why Bowling was turned down and who he suggested this to.
Are there any of you who are interested in this outfit for your avatar? If so, how much money would you consider to be a reasonable price to pay for this?

Xbox 360 Modifiers being Banned

In the recent weeks, there have been some unfortunate Xbox 360 users that have tried started up their Xbox only to find out that their Xbox Live accounts have been banned by Microsoft. However, there is a legitimate reason that explains this banning. Some gamers have modified their consoles in order to be able to play pirated game discs. This large banning done by Microsoft is going to be their form of punishment. A spokesperson explained:
"We have taken action against a small percentage of consoles that have been modified to play pirated game discs. In line with our commitment to combat piracy and support safer and more secure gameplay for the more than 20 million members of our Xbox Live community, we are suspending these modded consoles from Xbox Live."
For the gamers out there who are using a modified Xbox 360, you are now aware of the danger you are in. Do not be surprised if you receive this Xbox Live account ban soon. If you are one of those unlucky people that has been caught, you have hopefully learned your lesson and you will not modify a console or steal a game ever again. I think that this was a good approach by Microsoft.
Are any of you currently suffering from an Xbox Live account ban?

Dead Space sequel?

Even though the game Dead Space: Extraction did not earn the huge amount of success that Electronic Arts expected for it to make, this game is actually a very good game that everyone, whether they liked Dead Space or not, should give a try. The reason for the high expectations was because Dead Space has such great success and many people were expecting Dead Space: Extraction to go in the same direction. There are a lot of people who are really wanting Dead Space 2 to be created. The suspicions people have of Dead Space 2 have been reinforced by several leaks that have been made about the game. A report from Reuters reported this morning that Dead Space 2 is currently in the works and it will be released in 2010. However, Electronic Arts really doesn't have anything to say in respond to this statement.
"This comment by the Reuters reporter is speculative," wrote an Electronic Arts spokesperson. "The article refers to Dead Space Extraction and refers to last year’s Dead Space as a hit last fall on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. There is no announcement for a Dead Space sequel beyond Dead Space Extraction."
This statement that was made does not do anything to deny the upcoming sequel. While it is not confirmed, it is still not denied either. This statement did not do a very good job of covering up their "secret" sequel.
