Yep, Metal Slug came out the other day and it's f'n awesome!! I've never played a MS game before, but I've been having a blast with it. Kind of like a pimped up Contra, with a great sense of humor. If anyone wants to hit up some co-op, my gamertag is in my sig.

while the extra features are a nice touch they should have done all the games included in the anthology (that is available on most recent consoles and handhelds) and released it as one big pack with an option to download individual games. maybe they plan to do the others and i can see why they would release them individually as at 800 points per game it would cost more to buy them all than it would to get the anthology on another console.

Boogie Bunnies this Wed (16th) for 800 MSP

Boogie Bunnies on XBLA on Weds

Microsoft has popped up in our inboxes with trumpets and balloons announcing the impending launch of Boogie Bunnies on Xbox Live Arcade.

Would you believe that it is due out on Wednesday, 16th January at 9am GMT for 800 Microsoft Points and comes with a demo and 12 unlockable Achievements for 200 gamerpoints? It would save me time.

What is Boogie Bunnies? It's an imaginative 3D puzzle game from Sierra Online, which - judging by the version we've played - is a bit like Bust-A-Move except you can go round the sides and it's all done up about rabbits.

Microsoft also took the opportunity this afternoon to remind us that Boogie Bunnies will soon by joined by Rez HD, Lode Runner, Brain Challenge (exactly what you think) and Poker smash (not what you think, actually - apparently it "incorporates gameplay elements found in today's most engrossing puzzle games and adds a poker twist to the mix").

Exactly when is still to be determined, but we will let you know when we do.

EVERYBODY, STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING!

Download N+ now.

Seriously.

It's amazing.

I without a doubt agree, I downloaded the trial yesterday early evening and then bought it that night.

I absolutely love the game itself. It is amazing. So simple, yet so addictive and incredibly well made.

Highly recommended that if people only check out one Arcade title, that they heavily consider this one. It is IMO one of if not the best Arcade title ever offered.

N+ is great!

Having played it alot on PC I can its alot different - not worse, but different.. its slower paced and overall behaves differently..

Multiplayer is great addition, especially coop - there seems to be an issue with lag and syncing each player - some times I see people blow up because they touched a mine....but they really didnt :p

Is there anyway to change slots in the lobby?

Me and my friends are playing but I always get the hard parts :(

Definitely. I wasn't sure how I'd like it using a 360 controller versus how it was on the computer, but it is by far better on the 360. Within 5 minutes of playing it I was already on my way to the "Unlock Full Game" option in the menu.

It took you longer than 5 minutes to complete the demo levels? :D

Still no one knows how to change slots in the lobby?

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
