Kill dinos in Turok with rock band Distrubed

Filed under: News, Xbox Live

Heads up to those looking to Game with rock band Fame today, because later this evening the band Disturbed will be connected to Xbox Live playing some Turok.

From 6-8:00PM eastern (3-5:00PM pacific) Disturbed will be participating in Xbox.com's Game With Fame, playing a few games of Turok multiplayer under the Gamertag Disturbed GWF. Sounds fun and all, it's just ... well, why play Turok? Couldn't Disturbed pick up a game like ... say, Halo 3? If they did, then we'd be super excited to play.

Play Halo 3 with Wanted's James McAvoy

If you aren't doing too much this Sunday, then you may want to sit yourself down on the sofa, turn on your 360 (as if you weren't going to do that anyway) and play some Halo 3 with Wanted movie star James McAvoy, because he'll be online as part of Xbox.com's Game With Fame. And while sticking spiker grenades in his melon or filling his chest full of pink needles, you may be able to chat it up and talk about how Wanted co-star Angelina Jolie keeps her unnaturally supple lips so plump. Or you could question him about his supposed involvement in The Hobbit. Or you could just play Halo 3 and refrain from badgering him with annoying questions. But that's no fun. We demand our Jolie lip questions be answered!

In a few weeks time, the Sasquatch! Music Festival (the same festival that will NOT have a GoW2 beta) will kick off and hundreds of thousands of music fans will decend upon the festival grounds.

Scheduled for Game With Fame fun on May 24th will be Wil-Dog Abers and Asdru Sierra from fusion band Ozomatli who'll be playing Halo 3 and indie rock group The National's own Bryan Devendorf will be online playing MLB 2K8. If you're interested in playing with either band, click the links below for GWF playtimes, band Gamertags and other important details. Game on!

Playable Gears of War 2 beta demo at Sasquatch! Music Festival [update]

Posted Apr 25th 2008 9:45AM by Dustin Burg
Filed under: News

Update: Suspiciously, Microsoft removed any mention of a GoW2 demo on the Xbox.com Sasquatch! article. Now we aren't sure if a GoW2 demo will appear at the music event ... Microsoft, care to fill us in?

We just came across juicy delicious Gears of War 2 news that could ultimately lead to you experiencing GoW2 (with controller in hand) the last weekend in May. For seriously!

According to Xbox.com's description of the Xbox 360 sponsored Sasquatch! Music Festival, Microsoft's Xbox team will be on site, hosting a few Game with Fame events, giving out prizes and setting up a nineteen Xbox 360 kiosks to allow attendees to play some of their favorite 360 titles. Games including the music appropriate Rock Band and a playable Gears of War 2 beta demo ... wait a second ... did we just read that correct? A GoW2 playable demo at the Sasquatch! Music Festival? WOWZA! HOOZA! KABLOOZA! (phew ... calm down). We have no idea what the GoW2 demo entails, how long it will last, what exactly it shows or how long the line will be to play, but we guess all that's really important is that Xbox.com promises playable beta level of GoW2. The Sasquatch! Music Festival goes down Memorial Day Weekend (May 24th-25th) in George, Washington at the Gorge Amphitheater. Run, sprint or hitch a ride, because there will be ~~entertaining music~~ playable GoW2 funnery in George, Washington at the end of May. W00t!

Today, at 5:00PM eastern (2:00PM pacific), Xbox Live Game with Fame gets a healthy coat of orange paint going Nickelodeon with two Nick stars gaming it up with fans.

Xbox.com is officially calling this month SuperMarch and as part of the planned SuperMarch festivities, Heroes' producer will be on Xbox Live letting you Game with Fame.

Executive producer of the Heroes television series Jesse Alexander (not Jason Alexander) will be on Xbox Live gaming it up in a little Frontlines: Fuel of War. So, if the prospect of fragging alongside Mr. Alexander sounds rather appealing, shoot a friend request over to snapmanifesto and prepare for Frontlines gaming on March 14th from 11:30PM-12:30AM eastern. And note, your abnormal super powers will not be allowed while gaming over Live.

With BR in hand, Korn's Davis readies for H3 GWF

Filed under: News, Halo 3, Xbox Live

Leaving behind thoughts of the nightmare that was our last Game with ~~Fame~~ attention whores, we're happy to spread word that musical group Korn's own Jonathan Davis will be jumping on Xbox Live to participate in some Halo 3 frag fun. Best thing, he's actually famous.

As it's planned, Davis will be playing Halo 3 online on Wednesday, February 27th from Noon - 2:00PM eastern, but the catch is that he'll be gaming from Lisbon, Portugal. So, North American fanboys, be weary of the evil lag-monster. Shoot a friend request to gamertag "KORN Jonathan1" and hunker down Wednesday night, because we have a feeling a whole bunch of Korn will be popped (zing!)

Valentines gaming with MTV's Heidi and Spencer

Filed under: News, Xbox Live

So ... yeah. To celebrate Valentines Day love and as part of the Game with ~~Fame~~ ~~reality~~ Scripted-Reality-Show-People fun, MTV's The Hills "stars" (the term "star" being used very liberally) Heidi and Spencer will be online tonight playing Burnout: Paradise. Yup ...

We aren't entirely sure who at EA had the great idea to setup such an event, seeing that The Hills isn't a show that instantly makes one think of Burnout: Paradise gamers (maybe their goal was to get your girlfriend excited to play Burnout?). And, for whatever reason, we're thinking one's Paradise street cred wouldn't get a boost if one were to play with Heidi. Actually, we think you'd be laughed at. But, it's your choice and if you want to tear up the streets with Heidi, Spencer and their surprise guests for Valentines gaming then send a friend request to ... wait a second. We aren't supporting this mockery of a GWF. You'll have to make the jump to get the details as we say boo to The Hills and boo to horrible marketing.

More Game with Fame will be going down next Thursday when Seether jumps online to kick some bum in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Hit the boxing ring with Wisin and Yandel

Fresh off a Latin Grammy Award nomination (or so says Xbox.com) the hip-hop and trendy Wisin and Yandel will be on Xbox Live and in the ring as part of Game with Fame. Wednesday, November 7th from 4-6:00PM eastern the duo will be online challenging gamers to a few boxing rounds in EA's Fight Night Round 3. The GWF folks also wanted to go out of their way to point out that Wisin and Yandel are so darn cool that they'll be gaming from high atop the Hugh Heffner suite at the Palms Casino in Vegas. But really, they don't have to impress us with their expensive Palms suite, they just had to remind us they have their own Wisin and Yandel branded Zune.

Challenge Jimmy Eat World to a game of Halo 3

Following in the footsteps of both Fall Out Boy and developer Valve, musical group Jimmy Eat World is ready and willing to log onto Xbox Live and get their game on. This Saturday, October 27th from 1-3:00PM eastern, Jimmy Eat World will be hopping on Xbox Live to play a few hours of Halo 3 with their fans (and enemies) as part of the Xbox.com sponsored Game with Fame tradition. So, if you're all about pwning Jimmy and his edible world, simply send a friend request or message to gamertags "JimmyEatWorld_J", "JimmyEatWorld_T", "JimmyEatWorld_R" or "zlind76". Then, come Saturday, be ready to game with the musical fame that is Jimmy Eat World and prove once and for all that just because a person can eat the world, it doesn't mean they're good at Halo 3.
