Visceral Games is looking for text, image and video submissions that detail an original melee kill delivered by Isaac Clarke, that may potentially be used in Dead Space 2!<br> Head to the <a href=http://www.deadspacegame.com/contest> Dead Space contest</a> page for more information and to submit your work. The contest is open until the 26th of March, after that the submissions will enter a judging phase where ten finalists will be chosen. The winner from those finalists will be chosen by a two week public vote, the nine runner s up will have their names dropped into the game.<br> The winner, however, will not only have their melee attack included in Dead Space 2, but their face will be on a character that will be violently murdered, though the specifics of how haven't been given away.</p> <p><b>On a side note...</b><br> Achievement Challenge 11 sign ups have recently opened, head over to the <a href=http://achievementhunter.com/groups/profile.php?id=5388>Achievement Challenges group</a> for more details.</p>

AH: Halo 2 loyalists to be invited to Reach Beta

<p>Last month Microsoft announced that XBox Live support for v1 titles would be discontinued on April 15, 2010, meaning that those still playing Halo 2 would be cut off.<br> Yesterday, however, these loyal Halo 2 players began receiving emails detailing compensation they would receive. This included 3 months XBox Live, 400 Microsoft Points and and invitation to join the Halo: Reach Beta along with owners of Halo 3: ODST on May 3, 2010.</p> <p>The email being received<br><blockquote style="padding:4px;background-color:#f1f1f1;border:1px solid #ccc">On April 15, 2010, we will discontinue the Xbox LIVE service for original Xbox games playable on Xbox v1 and Xbox 360. In our continuing efforts to evolve the service, we need to make changes to the LIVE service that are not compatible with original Xbox v1 games.<br /> What does this change mean for you?<br /> ￿ It does not affect your ability to play original Xbox v1 games offline, but does remove LIVE connectivity and support for online multiplayer, leader boards, and other online features of these games.<br /> ￿ We realize that you are an avid Halo 2 fan. Unfortunately, with this change, you will not be able to play Halo 2 on Xbox LIVE going forward.<br /> ￿ Although it is difficult to say goodbye to Halo 2, the Halo franchise continues as the benchmark for multiplayer gaming in this generation with Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, and soon Halo: Reach. On the Xbox 360, you will continue to have access to the LIVE service where you can enjoy hundreds of other LIVE-enabled games.<br /> When will this change take effect?<br /> ￿ April 15, 2010.<br /> What is Xbox LIVE doing for me?<br /> ￿ To thank you for being a loyal Xbox LIVE customer, we are giving you a free, three-month LIVE Gold membership and 400 Microsoft Points for you to use as you choose on Xbox LIVE.<br /> ￿ In addition, because you've been so loyal to Halo, we are inviting you to participate in the exclusive Halo: Reach Beta.<br /> How do I get these offers?<br /> ￿ You will receive a token for 400 MS points. Check your Xbox LIVE account messages on the console. These points can be used for 365 days after you activate your token.<br /> ￿ We are extending your Gold membership by three months automatically. The extension will be directly reflected in your LIVE account.<br /> ￿ Finally, as the beta gets closer, you will receive an e-mail containing the code granting you access to the exclusive Halo: Reach Beta. </blockquote></p> <p align=center><img src="http://terminalgamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Reach-Box-Art.png" border=0 style='float:none;'></p>
