Warner Music Hits Xbox LIVE

Tons of videos from Warner Music Group acts will be made available on Microsoft’s Xbox LIVE, beginning this week.

Over 12 million Xbox LIVE members worldwide will be able download music videos by featured WMG artists from Xbox LIVE Marketplace and watch them on their Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system. Video will include clips by Death Cab For Cutie, Flo Rida, Matchbox Twenty, Panic! At the Disco and T.I. among others, with more to come down the line.

“Xbox 360 has been an important partner in our efforts to offer consumers more ways to experience our artists’ music and this is especially true among gamers who are some of the most passionate music fans,” said Larry Mattera, WEA Senior Vice President Digital Sales & Marketing. “With this agreement, we can take advantage of Microsoft’s music platform and provide gamers what they want: music videos from their favorite artists that can be downloaded quickly and easily.”

And coming this fall, Microsoft will introduce a new Xbox experience that they say will “reinvent home entertainment from the inside out, changing the way people stay in touch and enjoy the best entertainment content.”  Hmmmmmm…

Teen Blames GTA For Car Bomb

Dear juvenile deliquents, please stop it. Stop committing crimes. And if you can’t do that, at least stop blaming Grand Theft Auto when they catch you.

Three teenagers in Milton, Georgia were arrested and charged with 57 felony counts for tossing Molotov cocktails in cars. One of the fellas said he’d learned it all from Grand Theft Auto.

“This case is another strong example of the serious ramifications that can come from letting impressionable teens play violent video games like this one,” Police Chief Chris Lagerbloom said. “We urge parents to pay particular attention to their children’s extracurricular activities and to intervene before it’s too late.”

‘Gears of War’ Movie Becomes Legendary

The Dark Knight, 300, Batman Begins - if those aren’t enough reasons to say that production company Legendary Pictures has quite an incredible rep, we don’t know what else to tell you.

Soon, the Gears of War movie will join the production company’s amazing film roster as they have agreed with New Line Cinema to co-produce and finance the video game movie adaptation. The movie will still be directed by Len Wiseman, who also directed both Underworld movies and Live Free or Die Hard, and the screenplay will be written by Chris Morgan who worked on the recent Angelina Jolie action flick, Wanted.

Legendary Pictures also produced the Watchmen movie coming out in 2009 and is producing the long-anticipated big screen invasion of the massive World of Warcraft film. Gears of War 2 developed by Epic Games will be coming out this November 7 exclusively for the Xbox 360.

Holy crap…Mega Man 9 is coming!

gonintendo.com/?p=46150

The blog GoNintendo somehow came across an image that reveals Capcom is in the middle of working on Mega Man 9 for an unnamed console.

The image seems to hint that this will be a return to the classic gameplay the series did so well in the past, so some people suspect it will be a Wii or DS title. However, as they point out, Destructoid had posted a rumor about the same game coming to Xbox Live or the Playstation Network. All speculation at this point, so curb your blaster for now.
