“Hot Coffee” Reveals GTA Sex Minigame
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Action, Mods/Hacks, PC,
While GTA: San Andreas is an M Rated game, a program labeled “Hot Coffee” seems to change that to X-Rated. The app is for the PC version of the GTA title to change the original game code. While Hot Coffee is indeed under a lot of heat, they explain that they didn’t not implement the edited scene merely uncovered what was already there. The scene involves your character going to see his girlfriend for some coffee. In the unchanged version, moans and groans can be heard while the video and audio only suggest sex is taking place. “Hot Coffee” uncovers the scene as it was meant to be seen (according to the makers of Hot Coffee) – with sexually explicit content. Who’s telling the truth? Rockstar has this to say:
“So far we have learned that the “hot coffee” modification is the work of a determined group of hackers who have gone to significant trouble to alter scenes in the official version of the game,” reads the statement. “In violation of the software user agreement, hackers created the ‘hot coffee’ modification by disassembling and then combining, recompiling and altering the game’s source code. Since the ‘hot coffee’ scenes cannot be created without intentional and significant technical modifications and reverse engineering of the game’s source code, we are currently investigating ways that we can increase the security protection of the source code and prevent the game from being altered by the ‘hot coffee’ modification.”

The forums over at nwizard are abuzz with the possibility of a Nintendo wireless router for the Revolution, which would allow it - and the Nintendo DS - to connect to the Internet. The specs are rumored to have the router connect via USB 2.0 to a users computer and rebroadcast their internet connection. I’m not sure how this differs from standard routers - I’ll be interested to see how it’s priced compared to non-Nintendo branded gear.

All of the audio/video fanatics out there can calm down - it looks like the Xbox 360 will possibly be available in both white and black. I know a lot of people were a little put off by the idea that the console would not fit in with most high end audio/visual equipment which is almost always black. Luckily this photo found on Joystiq helps dissuade our fears and gives hope that Microsoft will release the console in a more professional looking color.
Then again, being that this is a mock-up, you may just have to settle for a black faceplate.
Too Much Unlockable Video Game Content Can Suck
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Mods/Hacks,
Unlockable video game content can be a wonderful thing. It can be a Pavlovian joy to have more stuff unlocked and to have your game play actions positively rewarded like a laboratory rat mouse working through the maze in a college psychology course. However there can be some darker B.F. Skinner type approach to unlockable game content that I must frown on. As time passes it seems like I have less and less time to play video games as I used to and it is really frustrating when a game developer will take most of the content in a game and only dish out a pittance at the beginning and then the game will demand hours after hours while dishing out a few new items and cars once and a while.

It’s thing like this that make me realize why I absolutely love having a modded Xbox. This Flickr plug-in for Xbox Media Center allows you to access all of your Flickr photos from the comfort of your living room. All you need to do is create a Flickr account, and dump your images there, and you will be able to pull them up on your Xbox over an Internet connection. Even better, you can view the images of other people as well using this interface. I love the presentation here as well, really well done.

One of the most popular features of Apple’s latest OS release, Tiger, is Dashboard. Basically it runs JavaScript on a separate and dedicated desktop, and it turns out you can even run games on it. What better game to experience this than one of the greatest games ever to hit the arcades? Someone has actually created a Pac-Man dashboard widget. Unfortunately, Namco has told the creator to stop the production and distribution of the file, but we have your hook up courtesy of MacUpdate.com. Get it while you can as this download link might not stay alive much longer.

If you’re interested in the Xbox 360 (and if you’re not, you’re on the wrong frickin’ site), be sure to get yourself over to the Windows SuperSite, where Microsoft journalist Paul Thurrot has been compiling some very in-depth information on the Xbox 360, including a two-part interview with Microsoft’s Jeff Henshaw where the veil is pulled back in just about every possible way. Specifically, you’ll get a detailed look at the Xbox 360 dashboard, the way the “blades” work when you’re playing a game, the media features and more. It’s the most thorough look at the Xbox 360 yet.

Have you ever been playing your favorite Massively Multiplayer Online game, and thought to yourself how convenient it would be to just pay a few extra bucks and have a ton of extra money or items? Apparently, you’re not the only one. 1up has a story about the people running these “pharming” operations, sweatshops where people are paid pennies to play games, then they sell the proceeds. How can they possibly make any money doing this? Maybe the correct question is how much, because these people are raking in the real cash, enough to buy real houses and real cars. And you’re still playing in the online world. Sucker.
Next question: How are they doing it? 1Up has your answer.

I don’t know why I am still hearing people say that Nintendo’s new home console, the Revolution, will be launching at the end of 2006. Nintendo has continuously stated that they will not be the last out of the gate this time, and the above image proves that. They really need to stick to their guns this time, as a lot of their fans are done with the myriad of broken promises given by the Big N. I must say, the poster is sleek, and the whole “Think Outside The Box” thing works for me in a big way. Here’s to hoping they can pull it off.
Resident Evil DS
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Action, Portable/Mobile, Role Playing Games, Strategy,
Newest news on the web concerning Resident Evil for the Nintendo DS has it that the game will be a remake of the original Resident Evil game. The game will feature Resident Evil 4’s camera perspective and use the touchpad for all the attacks. Even though this is a small amount of news, the greatest news of all is that it will be a remake of the original that made the series what it is now. Could this be one of the games that will gain the DS even more popularity in the face of the PSP?
