Halo: Reach Making News for the Wrong Reasons!

A thread was opened on the 14th by a Halo: Reach buyer reporting that he was having trouble getting his Xbox to read his Halo: Reach disc. In the post he claims that a couple of times his 360 even read the disc as being a 'DVD'.

As time has gone by the thread has grown rapidly and is currently 65 pages long, full of people announcing that they are experiencing the same problem.

It seems the majority of the people saying their copy of Reach will not be read by their Xbox are those who have a 'launch' 360. However, other people with launch units have been able to play the game without problems.
The exact reason for the problems is unclear at the moment but anybody experiencing similar problems has been advised to phone Xbox Customer Support.

Have Bungie not been thorough enough through testing?

F1 2010

Ok so, I'm really excited about this game. I love me some racing games but haven't played any since Forza 2! (Yeh, I played Race Pro but not much). With my love for F1 and racing games this is surely going to be the perfect game for me?

Hamilton & Button Feeling Positive

Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button have both announced that they are hopeful for next weekends Singapore Grand Prix.
The Singapore track is a relatively low-speed track similar to the hungaroring where McLaren were almost 2 seconds off the pace of the Red Bulls. So why are McLaren so upbeat about Singapore?

Health Forces Spartacus Star to Leave.

Unfortunately my first post on this blog is not good news.
As you may know I am a proud fan of the TV series Spartacus: Blood and Sand and was saddened when I first found out that Season 2 was delayed due to the star actor (Andy Whitfield) being diagnosed with a treatable form of cancer. This led Starz to delay the filming of Series 2 and instead begin on a Prequel Series  (Spartacus: Gods of the Arena) which is due for a January début. Much to mine (and many others) delight Andy was given to go ahead off doctors to commence filming of Series 2.

In recent news it has been announced that the Star has now had to leave the filming of Series 2 due to the recurrence of the cancer. 

The statement released by Whitfield and Starz noted that Doctors advised he "immediately resume aggressive treatment for a recurrence of cancer." 

A somewhat emotional statement made by the Starz CEO and President Chris Albrecht shows the admiration shared by everyone who knows Andy or has merely watched him be all he can be in Spartacus:

"Our hearts and prayers are with Andy and his family during this difficult time, Andy is not only an incredible actor whose portrayal of Spartacus made an indelible impression on Starz audiences, he is also an amazing human being whose courage, strength, and grace in the face of adversity have inspired all of us." 

Starz have also stressed that the have not yet made a decision on how to proceed from here, whether they will re-cast, delay the series indefinitely or end it all together is just speculation as of yet.

The prime objective right now though is to ensure Andy undergoes the required treatment and hoping he can shake this beast off once again!

My thoughts are with you Sparty!
