The much delayed Halo Uprising series has been delayed yet again.

The new date? May 7, 2008.

Old Vs. New

A lot of friends of mine have asked me, "Should I get the wireless headset? Is it worth the $50?" I'm here to tell you all, just stick with the wired. I'll explain why (the following post isn't true about all wirless headsets but only a personal thought on which in my opinion is better).


Let me keep this brief and simple:



Wireless




+ Very compact and convenient with no need to carry controller around in order to talk


+ If controller batteries die out, no need to worry, you can still talk since the headset isn't connected to the controller




- Like all wireless things, it needs charging.


- Headset will randomly switch off and on when playing.


- Mine broke. Why? Not sure; didn't do a thing to it.




Wired








+ No need for charging.


+ Very reliable and won't shut off randomly.


+ Much cheaper (around $20 cheaper than the wired headset)

I have no negatives for the wired headset. I suppose you could be picky and just say, "Well, you need to carry your controller with you in order to talk". But honestly, is that really a big deal?


Go with the wired.

Law of the Game on Joystiq: Patently Complicated

Interested in learning about patents? Then check out this week's Law of the Game on Joystiq.

[Edit: Fixed weird post error.]

Final Gears of War action figures revealed!

N.E.C.A. Toys have revealed the final production units of the brand new Gears of War action figures, along with the final packaging for the toys as well. These figures are scheduled to be released in April, but don't hold your breath just yet. N.E.C.A. is known for its delays on toys and Gears could be the latest victim. If that is the case then we could very well see these things early May. The Xbox Collector will run a video review of them when they come out, just like how we covered the Halo 3 figures.

And yes, the Halo Comic Xbox Collector video is still coming, we've just run into some delays due to unforeseen circumstances. Its still coming!

Happy Birthday, Law of the Game

Ver más ,

While this is a few days late, Law of the Game has officially been online for a full year. Looking back, it's been really quite amazing how much has happened in the first 12 months, from the numerous major blogs linking articles to the ABA Top 100 Blawg award to the column on Joystiq.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of the readers out there for reading and supporting Law of the Game.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to note that I will be on Late Nite JengaJam this Thursday, April 10, with the opportunity for anyone to call in and chat for part of the show. The podcast should be available shortly after the show for anyone who wants to listen.

Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack

April 15th, the launch date for the Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack

Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack is a collection of three new amazing maps:

1- Avalanche :
Your excuse to ride the many vehicles made famous by the Halo series, but retuned for the snowy battlefield.

This map is actually a tribute to the “Sidewinder” map from Halo: Combat Evolved, but has been massively revamped for Xbox 360.

2- Blackout :
It is actually the same basic design as Lockout (the fan favourite from Halo2), but you won’t believe the graphical overhaul it has received.

Sometimes we’re forgetting how much Xbox 360 really has moved things on graphically, but classic gameplay lives forever.

3- Ghost Town :
This medium-size map suits Team Slayer games, so expect to be kept very busy indeed.

Don’t be surprised to find your pulse racing as you navigate the rabbit warren of passages or emerge onto the rooftops with the ground far below.

Only for 800 Microsoft points you can enjoy more your multiplayer games with the new Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack......
