Microsoft Corp. today announced the all-new Xbox 360 4GB console, the revolutionary Kinect sensor and "Kinect Adventures" packaged together for £249.99. Kinect Adventures, lets players experience 20 adventures, navigating raging rapids and ducking and dodging through mountain top obstacle courses and exotic locations - no controller required.

With the release of Crackdown 2 imminent, there's a nice surprise in store for all Perfect Dark XBLA owners out there.

Buried within the Perfect Dark XBLA is a secret playable character known as Agent 4, so if you already own Perfect Dark and pick up a copy of Crackdown 2 when it hits stores across Europe on Friday 9th July, this feisty black-suited gun nut will soon be under your command.

When Perfect Dark detects a Crackdown 2 save file on your device, it'll automatically make Agent 4 available for use in the Perfect Dark Combat Simulator (aka the multiplayer modes). Better still, this is completely free of charge! Suit up and share the run 'n' gun love with the Crackdown 2, Perfect Dark crossover combatant.

Crackdown 2 will launch in Europe on the 9th and is available for pre-order now.

For those of you who can't wait to experience the chaos and carnage that Crackdown 2 offers, a demo is available now via Xbox LIVE.

Xbox LIVE delivers a world of games, movies, social entertainment and starting this November, live sports, allowing you to share them with the people you care about, around the world.

This November, the new Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack will offer up to four individual Xbox LIVE Gold memberships for only £69.00.

Now as we prepare for the launch of Kinect for Xbox 360, which makes YOU the controller, consider giving your family premium Gold experience and access to the biggest names in entertainment.

Award-winning tourist attraction, Drayton Manor Theme Park, played a starring role in last night's episode of Channel Five's The Gadget Show.

The popular TV series filmed a feature, investigating the full capabilities of the smart phone. Show presenter Ortis was given the use of various smart phones to help him complete a series of challenges, whereas his co-presenter Suzi made use of a variety of different gadgets and gizmos.
