Shadow Complex Golden Guns

There is a secret unlockable room in Shadow Complex that contains a golden version of all the guns you collect during the completion of campaign. Once you have unlocked this room, anytime you start a new game or continue an old game, this room will be available giving you access to the golden gun of your choice. The beauty of it, this room is located right at the start of the game in area B5.

To unlock the golden gun room, collect all 12 Gold Bars hidden throughout campaign. Once you collect the final gold bar, the room will unlock and show on your map as a gold star.

Complete Shadow Complex in 1 Hour

One of the Master Achievements in Shadow Complex is to complete the game in under two hours on any difficulty. My first time through the game, it took me around six hours however, I did a lot of exploring and had 100% of the items. Even so, two hours seemed impossible. Then I saw a video showing the Shadow Complex and it's BIG SECRET. Watch the video below to learn how to drastically reduce your game time, should put you at around 1 hour for completion if you keep a quick pace and use the secret passage.

Fable 3 Coming in 2010

Gamescom's Peter Molyneux announced today from Germany that Fable 3 will be coming in late 2010 - likely the holidays - to the XBOX360. The story takes place about 50 years after the first. You will play as the son or the daughter of your Fable 2 hero and start a journey to becoming the ruler of Albion. Some of the new features in the upcoming game include "judgement and touch" where you can decide how certain situations will unfold, more character interaction and more focus will be on the story itself. During the story, you will have to make promises to factions and then later you will have to decide to keep or break those promises. All your decisions will effect what kind of kingdom you will have; poverty/greed, tyranny/compassion or progress/tradition. One of the biggest things mentioned is that after you complete the story, there will still be many things to do - unlike in Fable 2 - however, those details have not been released. Watch the teaser trailer below.

Saints Row 2 on Demand

Today, Saint's Row 2 was made available for direct download to the XBOX360 hard drive via Games on Demand. Games on Demand is the new digital download service for the XBOX360.

To put it in perspective, you can buy the game on Amazon.com new for $27.99 or buy it used for even less. However, for 3000 Microsoft points you don't have to leave your couch or pay for shipping.

Sharpshooter Running Riot

This was in ranked Team Snipers on Halo 3. I got a sharpshooter running riot with mostly headshots on Construct. A sharpshooter is 10 sniper kills without dying and a running riot is 15 kills in a row without dying.

How to get a Killionaire

In Halo 3 for the XBOX360, there is a medal you can achieve called a Killionaire. To acheive a Killionaire, you must kill 10 opponents within four seconds of eachother. I currently have four Killionaire medals, three from Grifball and one from Zombies. I have found that Killionaires are easiest to obtain in Grifball since the spawn points are so predictable and spawn times are quicker than normal gameplay, hence more enemies to kill within four seconds of eachother. Below is a video of my third Killionaire in Grifball.

"Elite Bowling" Video

Double splatters can be common for those that drive around on a Mongoose, Ghost, Chopper, etc. However, a double splatter with a frag grenade and a mongoose while you are not driving... well, thats when it gets interesting. The below video, "Elite Bowling" shows me (RedLace) going into the base on High Ground and then tossing a frag grenade from around the corner, hitting the mongoose in mid field and then this amazing thing happens.
