Major Nelson, whose military credentials I suspect, said on his thrilling podcast at the weekend the Microsoft is already hard at work creating the next version of the Xbox 360 dashboard. Don’t expect a silly name, like NXE , this time around, though. What can you expect?

Wireless Xbox 360 mic coming this Fall
Coming this Fall from Microsoft is a wireless mic that’s compatible with Lips, Guitar Hero Metallica, Rock Band 2, Disney Sing it: HSM 3 , and the upcoming Lips: Number One Hits and The Beatles: Rock Band . My guess is the mic will launch just before or at the same time as The Beatles: RB, but what do I know?

Lode Runner: Why the Xbox 360 was made
I can think of no better way to leverage the gaming power of the XBox 360 than by playing the seminal Brøderbund platformer Lode Runner ! Running back and forth, climbing, digging, collecting gold, and avoiding robots: Lode Runner has everything a game needs. And now it’s available on XBox LIVE, with lush new graphics, multiplayer support, and the all-important level editor for hours of fun! Major Nelson tells us that Lode Runner for the XBox 360 will set you back 1200 Microsoft points, but the commenters claim it’s only 800. Either way, this is a gem that every self-respecting gamer will want to have in their library.
