Gaming updates

Microsoft has recently announced they are raising the file size limit for the live arcade games to 350 MB. Nearly doubling the size. This move is to help make more involved games made by developers but still encouraging a sub 20 million dollar game budget environment. We will see what kind of games come out of this new maximum size.

Frank O' Conner formerly from Bungie has also announced his departure from Bungie to work with microsoft on the future Halo games (Halo Wars and undisclosed others). Frank was a key figure in Halo 2 and 3. But along with this news is news of Bungie still in talks with Peter Jackson to create a Halo Chronicles video game in association with Jackson's Wingnut studios.

The Wii fit has been delayed for release until tomorrow.

Rock Band has announced May 27th release for the Cars self-titled album. 1.99 a track and 15.00 for the whole album (9, saves you about 3 bucks).

Speculation on Banjo Kazooie is leading to negative reviews by players.

Unknown to me, apparently there is a terminology for the academic study of video games: ludology. who knew such a thing existed :)
