Just yesterday we let you in some rumors that said Hulu Plus would finally be coming to the Xbox 360 at some point in the near future. Well, Major Nelson himself has finally come forth to announce that the service will in fact be launching for Microsoft’s video game console tomorrow, April 29th. Even better, the company will be offering consumers a free weeks worth of service as a launching surprise.
If you’re not familiar with Hulu Plus it is very similar to Netflix but it exclusively offers television shows with no movies on board. Although, the beauty of that is that many television shows offered through Hulu Plus are much more up to date than those offered through Netflix.
Anyways, keep an eye out for Hulu Plus available for download on the Xbox 360 tomorrow.
I don’t know about you guys but I think I’ll have to side with Shia LaBeuof on this one, despite a few good titles nothing on the Wii has really caught my eye, that’s why I’m so excited for The Conduit. It looks to push the graphical capabilities of the Wii along with providing top notch first person gameplay.
Well, it seems Sega has found it fitting to provide The Conduit with a television ad as its June 23rd release date draws ever closer. Wait, that’s tomorrow!
Please excuse us for the poor quality video, we will provide you with a better one as it becomes available.
The video games that films and television shows have been based on are often poorly chosen and seem to be picked for more summer blockbuster potential than any other reason. Generally they ignore IPs with interesting character and well-fleshed out plot lines. That might be in part because it’s usually the big film studios who seek out these projects with little actual involvement from their creators.
Bethesda however is taking a more active interest in the possible direction other Fallout media could go. They’ve filed patents for both a Fallout film and television show. With the huge volume of material already created for the series there are plenty of avenues to go down. The main storylines and side quests of all three games give dozens of possible storylines; defeating mutants, questing for parts to fix a dying vault, etc.
The only problem of course would be the high cost of doing a Fallout TV show, with the budget for special effects, props, buildings, etc. Unfortunately a film probably wouldn’t do the well crafted Fallout universe justice, but I doubt we’d see more than a season of two of the TV show.
