Original Fallout IP owner and current licensee Interplay has filed a counterclaim accusing current Fallout owner Bethesda for breach of contract, claiming that Interplay's own Fallout MMO has a playable demo -- indicating production status -- and that Bethesda tried to grant Fallout MMO rights to sister company ZeniMax Online.

Interplay, which sold the rights of the venerable PC-derived Fallout series to Bethesda in 2007 for $5.75 million, alleged in an October 16 court filing that Bethesda breached the Fallout series asset purchase agreement -- the same allegation that Bethesda put to Interplay.

"While checking the message boards of one of my favorite comic artists, Mike Oeming, I came across a post simply entitled "Saxton HALE from Valve :)" wherein I found a link to the TF2Maps forums. I'm not entirely sure I can adequately describe the awesomeness contained therein, so I'm going to let the pictures speak for themselves. Beware, what lies beneath is not for the faint of heart, or those of you with weak constitutions. Only the manliest of men should venture forth."

360 - Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock - BeefJack - Music DLC Roundup: 31/10

BeefJack writes: " The Foo Fighters annoy me, simply because they've created some absolutely amazing songs, but put them on albums fill of filler tracks, luckily with downloadable content you don't need to shift through the album to get to the best bits, and that's exactly what Best Of You is; Foo Fighters' best song. No matter what background you have it's hard to deny the sheer passion, emotion and top notch craftsmenship on display, no matter what you do, do not miss out on this one."

Achievements that Unlock Avatar stuff in Halo Waypoint.

360 News from N4G | Halo Wars

To all of those selected for the dashboard update preview Halo Waypoint is now available for download on the Xbox dashboard and I must admit its cooler than I thought it would be. For the most part if you have played any of the Halo games Halo3, Halo Wars, or Halo 3 ODST you should start off with some cool stuff for your avatar. That's right included in Waypoint are avatar awards. Here's a quick list.

1) ODST Helmet - Unlocked by .....

2) ODST Shirt - Unlocked by ......

3) ODST Hoodie - Unlocked by .......

4) Secret - Unlocked by doing nothing

5) Recon Helmet - Unlocked by .......

6) ODST Armor - Unlocked by .......

So if you want all the avatar unlockables once Waypoint drops for everyone get on those acheivements and you'll start with all the gear. So what do you think good idea, or bad idea for Microsoft to include these new unlockables to kick off Halo Waypoint?
