Bionic Commando es uno de los juegos de Capcom que no había tenido una continuación desde hace muchos años. Nathan Spencer, el personaje principal, se había quedado descansando en el pasado dentro de la generación 8-bit hasta hace poco. Ahora conocido con el nombre de Bionic Commando: Rearmed, es una nueva versión del juego NES de 1988 que se encuentra disponible en XBLA y PlayStation Network. Obviamente me dio ganas de jugar este juego chévere. Para los principiantes al mundo de Bionic Commando, Nathan no puede saltar, pero utiliza su brazo biónico para transportarse y se defiende con una arma. Aunque el juego lleva la clasificación M (solamente por una escena al final del juego), estas fotos explicarán a cualquiera a realizar las técnicas de control avanzadas de Nathan.

Bionic Commando is one of Capcom’s games that have not had a sequel for many years. Nathan Spencer, the main character, was stuck resting inside the 8-bit generation. Now known as Bionic Commando: Rearmed, it is a remake of the 1988 NES game available on XBLA and PlayStation Network. Obviously I felt like playing this cool game. For newbies into the world of Bionic Commando, Nathan is unable to jump, but uses his bionic arm to transport himself and uses a weapon to defend himself. Although the game rated M (only because of one scene at the end of the game), these pictures will explain anyone how to make Nathan’s advanced control techniques.

First-of-its-kind partnership creates new ways to register to vote and jump into 2008 election.
REDMOND, Wash. — Aug. 21, 2008 — A leading gaming and entertainment platform just became a leading platform for change. Microsoft Corp. and Rock the Vote today announced a groundbreaking partnership that will allow Xbox 360 owners to register to vote, participate in presidential polls and voice their opinions to the presidential candidates. It will all happen through Xbox LIVE starting Monday, Aug. 25, the first day of the Democratic National Convention.
“Xbox is a natural partner to help us reach out to youth voters,” said Heather Smith, executive director, Rock the Vote. “To realize our goal of registering 2 million young Americans by this fall, we need to go where young Americans are, and there’s no doubt in our minds that many are on Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE.”
This is the first time that Rock the Vote has joined forces with an entertainment partner such as Xbox to reach voters under 30. Xbox LIVE is the largest online social network connected to the television, with membership totaling 12 million — if Xbox LIVE were a state, it would rank as the country’s seventh largest, giving it approximately 20 electoral votes.
“The Xbox LIVE community is active, vocal and passionate,” said Marc Whitten, general manager of Xbox LIVE. “We’re thrilled to partner with Rock the Vote to make it easier than ever for youth voters — and our members — to register and be heard.”
Through the Rock the Vote partnership, Xbox LIVE members will be able to register to vote, voice their opinions to the candidates through an exclusive forum and participate in potentially election-predicting polls. They will also be able to download Rock the Vote public service announcements.
Xbox also will have a presence at both the Democratic and Republican conventions, promoting the Rock the Vote partnership and educating delegates about creating a safer entertainment environment on Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE using the built-in parental controls known as Family Settings. These industry-leading settings allow parents to limit their children’s access to video games and movies and manage their activity and communications on Xbox LIVE. For more information on Family Settings and other safety-enhancing gaming tools and resources, delegates can stop by the Xbox on-site kiosk or visit http://www.xbox.com/isyourfamilyset.
