Halo: Reach ‘not a Natal title,’ being made with a controller in mind

Sure, you could take Bungie’s latest foray into Mythbusters territory as full on confirmation of Halo: Reach not having Project Natal support, or you could be like us and remain skeptical of the developers still-not-straightforward wording. In a recent post on Bungie.net, the company attempted to answer a mess of “myths” about its upcoming Halo game, including “Myth: Reach is being built for Natal!” In answering, the post states, “Halo: Reach is NOT a Natal title and is being developed expressly with the traditional Xbox 360 controller in mind.”

That said, rather than outright saying, “No, there’s no support for Project Natal in Halo: Reach,” Bungie instead chose to loosely word the answer. It certainly doesn’t help the situation that multiple Bungie employees have expressed interest in seeing Natal incorporated into the Halo series, with Bungie prez Harold Ryan even saying he could “absolutely” see Reach specifically incorporate Natal. So, about that myth …

Visceral Games prepping DLC for Dante’s Inferno

In a recent interview with the New York Times, Dante’s Inferno executive producer Jonathan Knight responded curiously to a query about the possibility of upcoming adaptations of the other two installments in the Divine Comedy, Purgatorio and Paradiso. According to the Times, “Knight said his team was focused on the release of Dante’s Inferno as well as on additional downloadable content for that game,” though he later confessed “I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t thought about that.”

We think Visceral’s missing out on a great chance to kill two birds with one stone — why not make Purgatorio and Paradiso DLC packs for Inferno? For instance, a few months after the game comes out, release a patch that makes the game’s load times last for 49 days. Boom. Purgatorio in the bag.

Update: As awesome as that sounds, it’s more likely he was talking about the “Dark Forest” prequel DLC that will come bundled with the Limited Edition version of the game on PS3. We’re still going to hold out hope, though!

Got moisture in your phone? Give this a try

A bag of Basmatic rice? What’s that got to do with phones? Well, this all came from a conversation I was having with someone last week and I had to actually put it into action this weekend. A friend had told me about a phone he’d dropped in the snow – water had got into the volume controls. I told him to try the “rice on the radiator” trick, assuming that pretty much everyone had heard of it. He hadn’t, so I made a mental note to do a post about it but never did.

This weekend, when I accidentally left my phone in the bathroom while the shower was on, I ended up with a HTC Hero which had only half of the touch-screen working. Moisture had got into the inside of the phone and heat alone didn’t seem to be fixing it.

The fix actually involves dumping your phone into a bag of rice, sealing it up nice and tight and leaving it on the radiator overnight. I’ve done a quick video demo showing you how it’s done. Click on to view..
