Xbox 360 round-up

Xbox 360Activision admits there's a bad bug in Call of Duty 2 that can eat your game save. Ouch! The good news is that there's a workaround while they devise a permanent fix. Just enter the cheat code to unlock all levels. From the Mission Selection screen, hold both shoulder buttons and, while you're doing all that, tap the D-pad left, left, right, right and then the Y button twice really fast. It may take a few tries... If you haven't seen Llamma.com's video of an Xbox 360 game disc getting ground up when the system is moved, you should. Apparently, there's a homebrew fix: just add some foam around the disc tray to keep it from bouncing. It's not clear whether this might void your warranty, so try it at your own risk. If all else fails, the makers of Game Doctor claim their product can fix discs damaged in this fashion, though you're better off avoiding the whole mess by putting your 360 on a level, well-ventilated surface and leaving it alone... Microsoft is making up for a temporary drought in new 360 games with a flood of new downloads in Xbox Live Marketplace. Right now, you can get:


  • Wik & the Fable of Souls, a new Xbox Live Arcade platformer, and the classic Robotron:2084
  • Six free cars for Ridge Racer 6, and - for a dollar apiece - six new background music tracks
  • New trailers including Mission: Impossible III and Lost Planet
