Sony Online Entertainment’s (SOE) PAYDAY The Heist is back
PAYDAY The Heist is back and ready to take fans on a new crime spree — all while spreading some holiday cheer!
In various levels of the multiplayer mode, players must find a wrapped present in order to gain the latest achievement. Once the present is discovered, they will be given the ultimate Santa mask — which will equip them with a new identity specifically for the holiday season, as well as a chance to win a gift from Steam!
Additionally, SOE and the OVERKILL Software team have been hard at work to add patches to the game, giving you the gift of:
- Player Drop-in: Join ongoing games and continue stealing those precious gems and dollars without being locked out
- Improved Combat: Strategize, as fighting and acting have been heavily improved for enemies! The team and enemies now pick better cover and firing positions, and use more intelligent firing lanes for suppression and sniping
- New Masks: Choose one of the four all-new masks that have been added in celebration of the recently released military shooters
- Additional Updates: Improved AI, smoother combat, grouping and aim, and more
Go grab your masks, your guns and your holiday spirit and go rob some banks (virtually of course) and let us know how you do by leaving a comment below and follow @FastLaneMag
Xbox 360 320 GB HDD
Some good news for Xbox 360 owners who have been looking with envy at the generous storage included with recent gaming bundles like Gears of War 3 - Microsoft is about to release a 320GB HDD for its popular console.
Keeping storage space anxiety well and truly in its place, the spacious new hard drive carries a recommended retail price of US$129.99, is compatible with Xbox S consoles, and comes shipped with a download code for LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars (unless you live in Japan, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia and the United Arab Emirates) to play the game for free.
All that being said what does this mean for gamers? Well it means vastly more memory space for games and whatever else you want. This is a great thing as previously gamers were limited in how many games they could store on their systems, and of course nothing sucks more than having to get rid of some of your fav games to make room for new ones… Enter 320GB. Imagine when they release a TB drive!
Anyway this is released this month and we want to hear your thoughts on it, so let us know what you think about this if you’re excited about it or have used it. Leave us a comment below! You can also follow us on Twitter @FastLaneMag
