Fable 2 ships non-line, online co-op to be added later

Filed under: News, Fable 2

Remember at E3 2008 when Peter Molyneux dropped the co-op over Xbox Live bomb during the Microsoft Press Briefing? Good times. Oh by the way, Fable 2 doesn't ship with online co-op. Microsoft's community team at the GamerScore Blog have dropped the news that Fable 2 will only ship with a single-player and local co-op experience but no need to grab your pitchforks and rioting boots because online will be added into the game later via an auto update.

We suppose some people will be upset about it but considering the GSB team expects the co-op to be added soon after release, Microsoft hopes for an update within a week or release, we aren't freaking out yet. However, considering most reviews will take the omission into account we wouldn't be surprised to see Fable 2 take a few dings on the Metacritic front. If that means anything to you, at all.

Gamerscore Blog ends the post by sending over a thank your from developer Lionhead for your understanding and patience. The team at Lionhead are very excited to have you play their grand RPG, so much so that the game went gold before, you know ... it was finished.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Gamerscore Blog's message to Japanese gamers

Posted Jul 23rd 2008 12:30PM by Xav de Matos
Filed under: Fan stuff, Videos

Microsoft needs help in Japan. OK, let's not mince words here -- they need a bona fide miracle. While sales are sluggish (that's called an understatement), Microsoft continues to approach the Eastern market with an assortment of games that appeal to the majority of their tastes. In response, the region sometimes sees a spike in sales but overall the Xbox 360 rarely sells more than a few thousand units per week (and this is an overstatement).

Enter Team Gamerscore Blog. Attempting to communicate directly with the Japanese gamer, the team at GSB have created a a video that hopes to entice gamers into the Xbox 360 camp. How? With personality, that's how!

We know some of the of comments to this video will be negative for the attempt but trying this approach to the market couldn't hurt right? Microsoft is essentially a faceless corporation in the East and putting some nice people in front of a camera talking about games could help remove the negative stigma the system has in the region. Or you know, maybe it won't.

Gamerscore Blog likes Vegas 2 a little too much

Posted Mar 19th 2008 7:00PM by Richard Mitchell
Filed under: Fan stuff

While most of the media focuses on whether or not games can turn innocent children into mindless killing machines, there is a much more dangerous psychosis that affects fully grown men. It's the kind of thing that makes a man stalk the toy aisle every time he goes shopping with his significant other, the sort of thing that compels him to buy the newest Nerf toy. Case in point: the latest video from Gamerscore Blog. It seems the boys in Redmond (we don't see what's her name anywhere) have become a little too fond of Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Don't take our word for it though. Watch the video -- handily embedded after the break -- and judge for yourself.

GSB sponsors In-N-Out community burger feast

Posted Jan 10th 2008 4:30PM by Dustin Burg
Filed under: Fan stuff

Nothing brings a group of Xbox 360 community members together like the promise of a free stretch-Hummer limo ride to go grab free grub at In-N-Out Burger. It works everytime.

The Gamerscore Blog and Major Nelson invited any 360 community member in the area to a Wednesday Meet and Eat at a local In-N-Out to end CES with an eating frenzy. Around 40 people showed up, stories were shared, memories were made (pictures here) and faces were stuffed. And after all was eaten and consumed the GSB crew picked up the $225 tab (you better pay next time Major) as everyone was whisked back home with full stomachs. These kind of 360 community gatherings are ever so awesome and it's cool to see that the Microsoft crew was willing to take some time out of their schedule to treat the community to a free burger. Oh and nice hats everyone. Rockin' the In-N-Out paper hat is classic.

Second community picture pack features All Games

Posted Nov 15th 2007 5:30PM by Dustin Burg
Filed under: News, Xbox Live Marketplace

In their second attempt at promoting world peace among the gaming community, the Gamerscore Blog just released its second community gamer pictures set featuring All Games Interactive.

This AGI set of fifteen community gamer pictures includes website favorites like Evil Avatar, XBL Radio, All Games Radio and much more. And just like the first community picture pack, these little puppies are grouped together as a free download and can be found in the new releases section of the Marketplace. Also, just like the first community picture pack, X3F isn't on the list. But don't worry fanboys, we're wearing down the Gamerscore Blog crew with our insistent emails, daily phone calls and constant text messaging tactics aimed at getting an X3F gamer pic in one of these sets. We have a feeling lucky number three will show results.

Video: GSB deals with an uptight COG crew

Posted Nov 7th 2007 5:00PM by Dustin Burg
Filed under: Fan stuff, Gears of War, Videos

We always enjoy it when the Gamerscore Blog puts their heads together to produce creative video masterpieces (Portal anyone?) And this week they let us in on the headaches and stresses they've incurred the past few weeks having to house the COG crew until Gears of War PC launched. Because we all know how upfront and in your face Fenix can be when not killing Locusts. But thankfully, Gears released yesterday, so GSB is free and clear of the Coalition's mood swings. Though, we still wonder how many copies of Viva Pinata: Party Animals they have on hand. Three, four ... maybe they're just out?

Working from home isn't the same with portals

Posted Oct 19th 2007 5:30PM by Richard Mitchell
Filed under: Fan stuff

Oh Gamerscore Blog. Is there anything they won't do? The Microsoft community guys posted this video, poking fun at their newest crew member Nelson "Achievement Junkie" Rodriguez. Perhaps you find yourself staring at your office wall -- or worse, your cubicle wall -- and wishing you could work from home (if you've gotten that far, you probably wish you didn't have to work at all, but that goes counter to this post, so roll with it, okay?). That sounds great in theory, but with the advent of portals, working from home takes on horrifying new properties. And you thought it was bad having to give your boss your phone number.

Is this clip a thinly veiled comment on the whole Xbox 360 Arcade thing? We submit that it is. After all, we've already seen it. It's right there.
