360 update causes discs to not work - PS3s update causes overheating



Microsoft's Xbox 360 recently had some troubles that caused retail discs to not work in some Xbox 360s and Sony's recent update seems to be causing overheating for people's consoles. Sony is, of course, having the worst time of all (because they're having way more troubles, like with their network, the natural disasters, etc...), but it's surprising to see 360 have an error like this at the same time.

I guess just don't update your systems for a while, until they've patched out these strange errors; Microsoft says to contact them if your 360 doesn't read discs after the update.

From Dust, Ubisoft game, Art Direction Trailer



Here is a really awesome looking game that I found while surfing around the internet; it's a game called From Dust. It's apparently about controlling Nature. Nature is basically the main character of the game, influencing everything that happens.

The art direction was made by looking at real locations in our world, real disasters, real floods, real volcanoes - the people of the world were influenced by real-life tribes, mostly from Africa. These tribes, in the game, also have influences put into them by the game developers - the people in the game wear masks from birth to death.

Anyway, this game looks beautiful and I really really want to play it! It looks like a very original game over what I've seen in the past few years. So, here is a YouTube video by the developers showing what they did and you get to see lots of beautiful places in their fictional world!
