The king of Xbox modding is back. Ben Heckendorn has released the latest incarnation of his portable Xbox 360. The new Xbox 360 portable revision 5 has a similar look to previous models but now comes with a Jasper motherboard, built-in ethernet port, digital pushbutton volume control and many added features.

It was another frenzied week for the Xbox 360 blog, with beat-'em-up fighters and persistent zombies taking the lead in news items. Yep, am talking about Street Fighter IV and Left 4 Dead, parts 1 and 2. On the Industry side of things, Microsoft's been relatively quiet... Oh yeah, I hear they're being sued yet again. This time for patent infringement on the XBL.

After his polite plea for Sony to reduce the price of the PS3, Koei Tecmo CEO Kenji Matsubara makes another comment, which indirectly points out that that price cut should come and fast. If you think that Japan is a strictly Sony and Nintendo territory, think again. In fact, according Matsubara, the western Xbox 360 is actually doing well in Sony's and Nintendo's home base.

Ever since we got our first look at the XBLA release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, the Turtles have taken us for a jump back in time to remember the original arcade version which I'm sure I wasn't the only who got hooked on. Luckily, the guys at Gamevideos took the backtrack to another level, giving us this vid comparing the classic with the remake.

When news is slow, there's always time for a few laughs. Remember the in-game kid Milo from the Project Natal demo? IGN's imagination got the best of them, so they made this little skit, featuring the Lionhead Studios wonderboy in a less-than-wholesome "extension" of the E3 demo.

Nothing like a cute kid in a Mega Man costume to make your day. I wanted to be Mega Man when I was little too. Lucky for him, his dad's a gamer. Not only does he come with a left-handed buster, he also dons the oversized Mega Man boots to complete the look. Awww.

We've seen a lot of announcements and teasers being released via Twitter this year. Here's another one from LucasArts. Recent entries in the LucasArts Twitter account are teasing "awesome news" for their old school fans early on Monday.

Finally. Some real gameplay footage of the highly controversial Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360, PC). It runs for seven minutes in total, enough for you to prove a case if you've ever tried British Parliamentary form of debating. But before we see if these footage would prove sufficient to sway the otherwise strong sentiments of hardcore L4D1(Xbox 360 and PC) fans against it, let's hear from Doug Lombardi, who's been making his rounds the past couple of days, explaining a whole lot about this sequel. This time, he talks about crossover possibilities between the two games.

A new DLC pack is headed for the Guitar Hero: World Tour (360, PS3, Wii), and this time, it's for all the punk rockers in all of us. Even the name of the pack is punk-sounding, with Epitaph Punk-O-Rama Track Pack as the title. Obviously, as you may also see from the name, it's all about the Epitaph artists. List after the jump.

The sequel to Topware Interactive and Reality Pump's RPG is finally announced for PC, Mac, and Xbox 360 this Winter. Said the press release, Two Worlds II will feature a completely overhauled AI and balancing standards, experienced authors, active combat system, bran-new engine and more.
