For those of you like me that guy your Xbox 360 a little late, you can appreciate taking advantage of all those people that got them early and bought a ton of games. Enough games to turn many of the titles into Xbox 360 Platinum hits. Microsoft has just announced some new members to the list of games that can call themselves a part of the popular platinum list.
- “Battlefield 2: Modern Combat™” (Electronic Arts)
- “Burnout™ Revenge” (Electronic Arts)
- “Call of Duty 2” (Activision)
- “Dead or Alive 4” (TECMO Inc.)
- “Fight Night Round 3” (Electronic Arts)
- “Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter” (Ubisoft)
- “Top Spin 2” (2K Sports)
- “Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis” (Rockstar Games)
There are different games available in different regions. Just check out the full press release for all the details.
From this list, I think “Fight Night Round 3″ and “Call of Duty 2″ would be the only ones I’d pick-up soon.
My son, daughter and I have been playing with Legos and other building toys more and more lately and that reminded me of this website I’d saved quite awhile back in my favorites.
This is the Abston Church of Christ Lego church
The craftsmanship and attention to detail is astounding on this model of a church. As you can see from the screen shot, it seems like it’s patterned after the Crystal Cathedral, for the sanctuary, but not too much.
Have you uncovered other examples of Lego artwork around the web? Let us know in the comments.
I wrote recently about blogging from within the newest version of Microsoft Word 2007. In that post I had mentioned that the functionality of blogging in Word 2007 was very similar to what had been developed in the Windows Live Writer application. Not surprisingly, it would make sense to test functionality in a small, free program distributed via the web and get user feedback from that.
There’s now a new version of Windows Live Writer being developed and the Inside Microsoft blog got their hands on a copy of it and played with it a bit.
Verdict: They’ve gone and taken what might be the best blog editing tool out there and made it better. It looks better, has a few good new features, works better connecting to your blog (no more Temporary Post For Style Detection), has an even easier and better organized interface. Great work!
Strong words. Can’t wait to get my hands on it myself. I was very pleased with the original version, so can’t wait to put some miles on the new one. Probably most exciting is easy insertion of tables. I know CSS is all the rage right now, but sometimes, you just need to present some good ol’ tabular data quickly.
The Inside Microsoft blog has lots more details about the app along with numerous, large screen shots of the functionality.
