So the rumors have been flying for a while now, but is it true? This is supposedly a video of our beloved Golden Eye 007 in the flesh - Xbox Live Arcade style..
No achievements, and could simply be an edit job - I tend to think it MIGHT be fake, but with the number of rumors floating around perhaps the game itself is a truth…. What do you think?
Just got a copy of this letter last night, and can’t wait to see what free game we get! I love free things, I just hope its not something I all ready actually paid for, and mostly useless to me 
Dear Xbox LIVE Members:
During this past holiday season you helped us break a number of Xbox LIVE records. This included our largest sign-up of new members to Xbox LIVE in our 5 year history and just yesterday you broke the record for the single biggest day of concurrent members ever on the service.
As a result of this massive increase in usage we know that some of you experienced intermittent Xbox LIVE issues over the holiday break. While the service was not completely offline at any given time, we are disappointed in our performance. I would like to take this moment to thank you each and every one of you for your patience and understanding as our team has worked around the clock to return the service to a stable state.
At the same time we would like to offer a token of our appreciation to all of you in celebration of record success for the service. And as a thank you for your loyalty during this holiday period, we will be offering all of our Xbox LIVE members around the world access to a full Xbox LIVE Arcade game that will be available to download free of charge. In the coming weeks we will be sharing the specific details of this offer with you.
Thank you again for helping make Xbox LIVE everything that it is today!
Sincerely,
Marc Whitten
General Manager, Xbox LIVE

Ok I just found this pretty funny the first time I loaded the Xbox.com page for Battlestar Galatica (the arcade game coming out this wednesday). Before you ask, not it doesn’t really cost $800, but a mere 800 Microsoft points, I apparently just loaded the page at the right time to catch this interesting shot
Just got a press release stating that Mass Effect will have voice acting from some notable hollywood and sci-fi stars. Specifically one of my favorites Seth Green who will play the voice of “Joker”. It isn’t mentioned in the press release, but a friend of mine also pointed out that Keith David also is the voice of the Arbiter. The full press release and outtake video to follow:

Fanboy is reporting that if you play halo 3 before the street date you will be banned from xbox live. Even playing the game while not connected to xbox live will get you a ban, the time a game is played is logged by your console and next connection to live will get your account banned.
Of course at theliveeye.com we have a few members that have been playing Halo 3 since 9/17, some of which are online now…..so whens this ban hammer coming?
Just looking at the Xbox.com forums you can see there are ALOT more people than we are tracking playing the game as well.
Let’s not forget early copies are sent out for review often so are they going to filter these out of the ban list - or are game reviewers going to get the banhammer for doing their jobs?
1 Week from today is the official release of Halo 3. ”Unite to Fight: Halo 3 Launch Week” adds yet another media promotion (and way for you to get cool stuff).

Which will include a large assortment of Halo related events and activities. Check www.xbox.com/unitetofight for updates and more information.

Bringing top Japanese developer talent to the Xbox 360, “Blue Dragon” is a culmination of the work of famed game producer Hironobu Sakaguchi of Mistwalker game studio and developer Artoon. This epic RPG features the character design of Akira Toriyama, who designed “Dragon Ball Z,” and music by Nobuo Uematsu, the composer for “Final Fantasy.”
Gamers will find themselves exploring and discovering the vast world of “Blue Dragon” as they assume the role of Shu, a young boy who along with his band of four friends, embarks on a quest to combat the evil forces that have come to their world. These unlikely heroes possess miraculous strength and the magical power to control their phantom shadow creatures that range from a Minotaur to a phoenix to a dragon and more.

This morning the “Mass Effect” Web site (www.MassEffect.com) has been updated with new content on the Krogan race. Go learn more about these repitilian creatures.
Native to the planet Tuchanka, the Krogan race suffered a huge setback at the dawn of their nuclear age, as a global war decimated the species. For 2000 years, the Krogan were reduced to primitive warring clans struggling to survive a nuclear winter of their own creation until they were discovered by the salarians. Similar to other reptilian species, the Krogan reproduce and mature at an astonishing rate, while their thick hides are virtually impervious to cuts, scrapes or contusions. However, the Krogan’s most amazing physiological feature of the species, are the multiple instances of major organs; these secondary systems are capable of serving as back-ups in the event of damage to the primary biological structures, making the Krogan incredibly difficult to kill.
To learn more about the Krogan and view new screenshots, visit the “Mass Effect” Web site, which will be updated on a regular basis. Throughout the month we’ll continue to uncover more “Mass Effect” information and details on the Krogan race, so keep your eyes peeled for additional posts.
