Starting today, Activision Publishing will be selling limited edition dogs tag with the proceeds going to the Call of Duty Endowment. The non-profit was created to find employment for military veterans. The dog tags will cost $4.99 and remain available throughout the holiday season.
"Supporting our veterans as they re-enter the workforce is one of the most important priorities we have as citizens. Our youngest veterans - those 18 - 24 years old- currently face an unemployment rate that is almost twice the national average of their non-veteran peer group, and this is unacceptable. With the sale of our limited edition Call of Duty Endowment dog tags, we are urging Americans to join us in the support of our heroes as they attempt to re-join the workforce," said Activision CEO Bobby Kotick.
The Call of Duty dog tags can found at participating retailers, including GameStop, Walmart, Toys R Us, Best Buy and Target.

Nintendo will be launching Wii U in just a few weeks, and Mario and Co. no doubt would like Wii owners to make the jump to their new platform, but Microsoft sees it playing out differently this holiday. With blockbusters like Halo 4 and a $50 price cut on holiday bundles, Matt Barlow, general manager of product marketing for Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business, believes Xbox 360 will have the edge in the HD console battle.
"I think this holiday season is an amazing jump off for all those people who may have been interested in the Wii and now want to be interested in high definition gaming," he told GamesIndustry International last week. "I can't think of a better console for them to choose than one that has the most games available, the highest rated games available, than the Xbox 360 platform."
"And when you look at the alternative experiences that we're going to bring with SmartGlass, the entertainment providers that we're bringing on board, with sports and music and movies and TV, and then if you think about those preeminent best selling blockbuster games that they're going to want to play - Halo, Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Forza, Nike+ Kinect Fitness - they either play first or they play best on Xbox 360 and nowhere else."
"We've only scratched the surface...Kinect is going to be something that everyone's going to want to own"
Matt Barlow
"Like I said, jump off is great and we like the way we're positioned to pick those customers up. They really should consider an Xbox 360 if they're looking for the best high definition gaming and entertainment platform."
Barlow was speaking as part of an interview about how Microsoft is positioning the Xbox 360 business going into yet another holiday season, nearing the end of its lifecycle. He noted that Kinect, which he said has now sold 20 million units, will continue to play a large role and he believes it's actually beginning to resonate with the core audience.
"When you look at the way core has adapted to Kinect, the things that they're valuing with it - the voice control stuff is really starting to catch on. When I look at some of the stuff we've done with Skyrim, some of the integration we have with Skyrim, some of the work with FIFA...voice integration has been unbelievable. If you look at some of the reviews we have on Mass Effect 3 and some of the people who play through using some of the voice control capabilities as well in that game. We're starting to strike the right chords in the core audience," he said.

Internal company reviews at EA has predicted a far better response to Medal of Honor: Warfighter than the game eventually received.
The game, which came out in the UK last Friday (Friday October 26th) currently has a 57 per cent Metacritic average on PC, 56 per cent on PS3 and 51 per cent on Xbox 360.
CVG reports that EA’s Frank Gibeau stated on an investor call last night that the game "fell below expectations", adding: "We take product quality very seriously. We are not happy with how Warfighter has been received."
None of which dampened the game’s UK debut, however.Warfighter debuted at the top of the charts this week, although it failed to beat the week one sales of its predecessor.
That’s not stopped some of the wider criticism, though, with the publisher of Serious Sam 3 urging fans to tweet disparaging comments about EA’s game in return for free game downloads.

 The figure was revealed in the run-up to release of the latest game in the series, Halo 4, which launches next week. 343 Industries, the Washington studio which was handed development of Halo 4 after Activision acquired Bungie, has its work cut out if its first Halo game is to be the most successful in the series. Halo 3 brought in $170 million in day-one sales; Halo Reach, released in 2010, brought in more than $200 million.

THQ's Darksiders II was a top-seller in the US during August, but according to NPD it only sold 247,000 units. At the time, Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter said that total sales are "probably over 1 million" and if his estimates are to be believed, the game hasn't really had many sales since then. In a new note to investors, he said the title has been struggling.
"August release Darksiders II has sold an estimated 1 million units to date, and appears to be struggling to approach its 2 million units break-even threshold," he said.
That's bad news for a newly restructured THQ, which, under Jason Rubin's leadership, is trying to recreate itself as a more streamlined business, focusing on fewer, higher quality core games.
"Darksiders II's performance and a history of game delays and cancellations leaves us skeptical that THQ can successfully execute its turnaround strategy, which centers on a streamlined release slate," Pachter added. "If any of THQ's Q4:13 releases are late, liquidity is likely to be tight by next summer unless either Homefront 2 or the Patrice Désilets game are released by then."
It's worth noting that THQ was back in the black during its first fiscal quarter. Second quarter earnings will be reported on November 5.

Here is a monster update to compliment yesterday's LT Ultimate fw news.
Going out with a bang for sure
NEWS #1: CR3 PRO
It's been 6 months in the making (no thanks to several motherboard/dashboard revisions during our development time), and now after an exhaustive test run, the CR3 Pro is ready for public consumption.
This is aimed at users who demand the highest RGH performance possible and the ability to tune their settings to an extreme level.
The first release of CR3 Pro is designed for slims only. The full kit includes new V3 QSB's for Trinity, Corona v1 (16MB Hynix TSOP) and v2 (4GB Phison BGA) (These are also available to buy separately for use with legacy CoolRunners Rev A, B & C and also the CR3 Lite and a Phat version V3 QSB kit is also available – See News #5). A Brand new POST V2 for complete monitoring and tuning using the new CR3 Pro Rater software is also included (J-R Programmer v2 required – See News #6)
Note: For Corona v2 (4GB) Nand Read/Write you will need the 4GB RW Kit.
A dedicated CR3 Pro Phat version is in progress – currently having fun with "un-glitchable" zephyrs and falcons
Full details / specs / install pics / prices / release date etc will be available shortly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEWS #2: CR3-DGX
The CR3-DGX is an add-on that connects to the CR3 Pro. We have been working on this bad boy for some time – it's really kick-ass and only made possible by the high level of accuracy and timing of the CR3 Pro.

Several players are having trouble unlocking certain Medal of Honor: Warfighter achievements, according to the game's forum. Specifically, the "Global Warfighters" achievement, awarded for unlocking "a soldier from each unit, and the "Warchief" achievement, awarded for unlocking all soldiers in multiplayer, will not unlock when the requirements are met.
The majority of the complaints seem to center around the Xbox 360 version of the game, though the problem has been reported on the PS3 version as well. For the moment, there doesn't appear to be a solution or workaround. We've contacted EA for comment.

The lead producer of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 has said it will alter a design feature in one of the game’s levels that has offended some Muslim players.
Joystiq reports that eagle-eyed gamers have spotted the Arabic script for the word ‘Allah’ in the floor texture of the Saudi Arabian level – that’s something that could be potentially offensive for Muslims.
Speaking on Twitter the game’s lead producer Katsuhiro Harada stated: "We didn't know that. We will change stage design data as soon as possible. We couldn't read that."
Earlier this month Activision was forced to temporarily remove the Favela map from Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer mode after Islamic holy writing was discovered in one of the level’s bathrooms. An altered version of the map was reinstated last week.

A bug that wipes game progress is being transmitted across Xbox Live to players of Borderlands 2.
Believed to be linked to code connected to a ‘hardcore’ game mode left in by developers, the ‘Graveyard’ exploit has seemingly been affecting those who have played online with other infected players.
The problem does not affect the PS3 or PC versions of the game.
“Recently a few users have begun violating the Xbox Live Code of Conduct by using an external application to maliciously disrupt the experience and sabotage characters of legitimate Borderlands 2 players on Xbox 360,” Gearbox explained on its forum.
“After extensive internal testing, an update to prevent this disruption has been submitted to Microsoft and will be released as soon as possible. Until then, concerned Xbox 360 players of Borderlands 2 should consider playing online with trusted individuals in non-public sessions.”
Fortunately Gearbox says there is a way to safeguard yourself against problems, as outlined below:
“We also advise that before ceasing play, users always select ‘Save and Quit’ from within the pause menu while their character is alive. If after the death of their character players find themselves at the main menu of Borderlands 2 instead of respawning in-game, be sure to immediately select "Continue" to resume playing as that character.
“We ask that players report any suspicious behaviour in Borderlands 2 to spotted@gearboxsoftware.com and provide as much details and documentation of their disrupted experience as possible to assist us in our investigation.”

Wednesday’s launch of Assassin’s Creed III looks set to be one of the biggest game launches of 2012 – and, MCV reckons – possibly of all time in the UK.
Ubisoft has revealed that over 900 stores will open their doors just before midnight tomorrow (Tuesday October 30th) across GAME, HMV, Blockbuster, GameStop, Xtra Vision, Tesco, Sainsbury, Asda and Smyths Toys.
“This represents an unprecedented success for Ubisoft and Assassin’s Creed III already,” a spokesperson for the publisher told MCV.
GAME last week revealed its plans for the title’s midnight openings that include special events at its Stratford and Hull stores.
Assassin’s Creed III has already broken Ubisoft’s pre-order records.
“Assassin’s Creed III is one of the most anticipated games of the year, and this impressive pre-order mark is just a hint of the game’s potential,” Ubisoft’s marketing boss Geoffroy Sardin stated.
“When players discover the new features, historical period, characters and gaming experience that the development team has worked so hard to create, we’re confident that they will agree that this is the biggest, best Assassin’s Creed game yet.”

Evil Controllers, makers of controller hacks such as the evil d-pad and the accessible Adroit "switchblade" controller, have recently taken to Kickstarter to fund a lithium-ion-powered Xbox 360 controller mod. The battery can keep the same charge for weeks, according to Evil Controllers CEO Adam Coe, though the Kickstarter page also lists an expected battery life of 10 hours of non-stop use. The updated battery charges over a provided mini-USB cable as well as Microsoft's play n' charge cord.
A $50 pledge to the project nets donors a backplate for their Xbox controllers with the battery included. It takes a fairly large donation, $150 and $200 to be precise, to receive a fully-modded Evil Controllers gamepad. The project's funding goal is $15,000, which Evil Controllers hopes to reach by December 2.

via www.emucr.com
KegsX v5 is released. KegsX is a KEGS-X Apple IIgs/e/c/+ Emulator port for XBox.
KegsX v5 Changelog:
changes to the core
* Core updated to v0.90
* Savestates are kinda wonky (and questionable at best). The original x-port version has some (v0.71) but I have no idea where it came from because it is not part of the original source. A cursory glance at it reveals many potential "issues" that could crop up from using them. Here is a quote from the readme for the v1 release of this emu. "Save states only work reliably while you are playing the same game without restarting it. This means that while you are playing a game, you can save/load states all you want, but as soon as you reset the emulator or exit the game, those save states will probably not work anymore". My two cents on savestates. As long as you are playing a game that does NOT write to the disk and you have the right disks inserted in the right drives then odds are you will be safe.
* Given the full "Madmab Edition" treatment.
* Sorry. No dual-preview skin to support Xtra's. Not that there are any atm.
* Keys "caps lock" issue should be fixed (for those with real keyboards).
* New option "Start With Caps Lock - On/Off". This will hopefully help resolve any issues with mapping the xbox controller to keyboard keys. See next comment. Currently defaults to "On". Let me know if it would be better as "Off".
* Xbox controller mapping to keyboard keys may need re-evaluating due to the weird nature of how the apple's "capslock" key works. If anyone with better knowledge of the Apple wants to help me on this just send me a PM.
* User can now mount a disk in drives 1 and 2. Game loading is alot more fluid now. Emulator remembers which disks were loaded at game boot time. Press X on game load if you want to change these. This included a new menu option to display the disks in drives 1 & 2, rotate and change disks.
* Bram now stored in seperate files whose name is based on the ROM used (1 or 3) AND the slot the disks are inserted in. This allows you to set seperate "startup slots" for 140k, 800k, and disk images without having to worry about constantly reseting the "startup" slot from within the "control panel". See below on how to setup the "startup" slot in the "control panel". The easiest thing to do is copy the include BRAM??.ram files into your saves directory (usually "e:\saves\kegs\"). Or if you are a real masochist you can manually set them all yourself!
* In game "configuration" computer speed is changed based on disk size. Anything less than 140k will autoset to 1mhz. The rest will be 2.5. Border clipping is auto set as well based on the recommendations in the Kegs documentation. This can be manually changed if need be.
* New selectable speed added to game configuration menu "8.0mhz" works great for some of the slower games "Silpheed", "Out Of This World". Use at own risk.
* Controller setup stuff moved into it's own menu and also added to the "in-game" menu so that you can adjust the trim and "center" positions more easily.
* Added in trim adjustment for joystick X and Y axis. This is needed if you are running games at "8.0mhz" speed. For example "Silpheed" needs X and Y trim set to "-100" for the joystick to work right when running the game at "8.0mhz".
* Controller type can now be changed to "Analog Joystick". Currently mapped to the left analog stick.
* Added new config option "Joystick Center Position". Most games work with the default (127). However some prefer a different "center" position. Silpheed (139), Skate Or Die (101).
* Sound MUCH improved now! Stuttering should be gone now.
interface related changes
* Added a new "Dummy/Lockdown Mode Setting".. "Remove 'Shutdown Xbox' From Main Menu?" Yes/No. For those of you who are driven crazy because this option is there.
