Xbox Live Support Warning: Modern Warfare 2 Phishing Attacks

Seriously, if you guys want to stay safe online, do not respond to any suspicious emails, messages, or anything of the sort online. Do not give out your personal information either. Your information is what the people behind the phishing attacks want. They want to steal your identity pretty much over Xbox Live. Wow, never thought I would say that. 
 
 
Get a life hackers, stop ruining other people's lives just because you can.


      What? Modern Warfare 2 phishing attacks on Xbox Live Users. What is this world coming to? Is there no way to be safe online. First the Playstation Network is hacked (not to mention millions of users information could be at risk) and taken down for over a week now and counting and now Xbox Live Support states that Xbox Live users of Modern Warfare 2 could be a target for phishing attacks. What in the world  is going on? I know that the problem that the Live users are undergoing is not nearly comparable in any way to the PSN's, but still how could these problems ever occur? If you take a look at these huge corporations (Microsoft, Playstation and possibly Infinity Ward) you would think that they would be able to set up awesome Security systems to keep threats like hackers and viruses out. Don't get me wrong, I know that almost all internet connected electronic devices can get viruses (excluding most Apple Products, well atleast I think. Am I right?), but I actually believed that if there was one place that I could be safe online, that place would be on my game console. Seriously, these companies need to step it up. We all know that they have the money and the resources to create safe and non-breach-able networks, why have they not done it yet? I for one am not going to complain about the Playstation Network because it is a free online service, and if it is down then it is down. Don't look at this as a bad thing though, I for one wasted 23 days in total of my life playing Modern Warfare 2, now I do not spend as much time playing games. Look at me now, I actually get some sleep and am well rested for the morning.

Gotham City Impostors Combines FPS with Superheroes

     How incredible is this? Gotham City Impostors appears to have all the elements of a classic First Person Shooter combined with all the fun and unpredictability of the the heroes and villains of Gotham City.      Basically, the entire plot of this game is "When Batman is away, Impostors will play." Their are two teams that are dedicated to battling out by all means necessary. The Batman impostors who dress up as closely as they can to the caped crusader, look completely unprofessional. They are not what you would expect Batman to look like, but that is the entire point of this game. On the other team lies the maniacal Joker impostors who make themselves useful by going on insane rants when the real Batman is busy.      Gotham City Impostors is an all multiplayer game and will be available for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC in  early 2012. This game will be download only, so if you are interested you might want to have a way...
