New System Update for LIVE
Precursor to the Spring Update?

When 360 players fire up their boxes today, there will be a system update waiting. The small update doesn’t add any new features, or anything noticeable for that matter. Here’s the official word from Major Nelson:

” A few minutes ago, the team released a system update for the Xbox 360 over Xbox LIVE. Sometime over the next few hours when you sign in to Xbox LIVE you’ll recieve a prompt to accept this mandatory update.



This update contains code to ‘prepare for future growth of the service.’ There are no other changes or enhancements in this update…in other words no new features. The next obvious question you’ll have is about the Spring update. At this point we have nothing to announce, and the moment there is information to share I will do so.”

I wonder what wonders the Spring Update will hold in store.

NHL 2K9 Review
If NHL 2k9 were the only hockey game on the market it’d be an easy buy for any fan of the hottest game on ice. But even with exemplary competition on the shelf, this game still more than holds its own.
Much better than the sum of its parts, Rock Band 2 delivers the goods
This freshman effort shows promise but has a lot of kinks to work out.
Finally, the Xbox 360 has a JRPG which it can claim as a true RPG gem, and if Tales of Vesperia doesn’t get RPG fans believing in the 360’s future with the genre, nothing will.
