Stretch to Win, Gamers Fitness Guide
January is a typical month for health and weight loss plans the world over, new year resolutions and summer bikini technicalities cause masses of people to flood to diet plans and gyms in a frenzy.. before inevitably giving up and eating more pies.
Now while we are gamers and the massive majority of us will not wear a bikini outside of Hawaiian themed university/college parties (I won’t judge you if you wear a bikini to play WoW, male or female) it would still be of great benefit to us to take a small amount of time between rounds to keep limber.

PS3 Finally Hacked!
Sony are investigating the “claims” – as they dub it, but original Iphone hacker “Geohot” has released his PS3 hack to the public and the general consensus is that it works.

Indy MMO Developers Check List
I will not claim to be a hero on the subject or even have much experience on the development side of games but much like most people reading this I have been on the receiving end of many failed MMO’s which everyone was looking forward to and were eventually lost to simple mistakes that could have been avoided relatively easily.

MW2 Knife Kill Of Note

Geoff Keighley: Mass Effect 2 Will Come to PS3
PS3 users rejoice!.. maybe.
Geoff Keighley has said:
“Now the fact that [Mass Effect 2] is only on Xbox 360, a lot of debate now about whether it makes sense for publishers to make those games exclusive to a platform,” Keighley said, “I think the game will eventually come out for PlayStation 3 but they just can’t talk about it yet.”
If what Keighley is hinting at is correct this could really open up the cross platform market for future titles or even old favourites which have yet to make the jump.
MW2 DLC Comes to Xbox a Month Early
Microsoft has announced that the Xbox will receive MW2 map packs for the first two major updates a full month ahead of other platforms, this is a blow for players who use PS3 or PC versions of the game.
“We have a 30-day timed exclusive on the Modern Warfare content packs,” a spokesperson told Eurogamer. “So it will be available on other platforms, but you get to try and play on Xbox 360 first.”
The exclusivity deal was first announced at E3 last year.
Another shining example of Microsoft throwing funds around for exclusivity at the expense of other gamers.
