Video Games: PC, PSP, PS3, xBox, and Wii Gaming News

Fable 2 just came out for the xBox 360, but there are already great sources of Cheats, Secrets, Exploits, and hacks out there. You just have to know where to look, and that’s something we do best!

Check out Gamespot’s Fable II Hints & Cheats guide, it includes:

• A list of unlockable achievments

There’s also IGN’s Fable II Game Profile, which is currently empty:

• A review of the game

If you know of any Fable 2 cheats, leave a comment or a link below and we’ll update this post to keep track of the latest ones!

Go check out this video about TF2 Hitboxes, which will tell you that when lag Compensation is off, the hitboxes move ahead of the actually moving character, and when it is on, you must shoot the character (and not his floating hitboxes).

Typically lag compensation is on, so you’ll want to aim at the running model itself, and not at where you expect it to be when your bullets arrive there.

What happens when you mix Garry’s Mod and Team Fortress 2? You get hilarious but awesome posed scenes. Check these out:

MaddoxX, a member of hacking group no-steam recently cracked one of VALVe’s file servers and obtained strange bits of confidential information, including credit card numbers, Valve software assets, and private security keys. Steam-review claims that because a Steam server was not compromised, there is no danger. Doug Lombardi, director of marketing at Valve, issued a statement with a similar sentiment:

There has been no security breach of Steam. The alleged hacker gained access to a third-party site that Valve uses to manage the commercial partners in its Cyber Cafe program. This Cyber Cafe billing system is not connected to Steam. We are working with law enforcement agencies on this matter, and encourage anyone with more information to e-mail us at Catch_A_Thief@valvesoftware.com .

Is this an authentic break-in at Valve, or just hype spun out of proportion by the blogosphere? Our favorite gaming site, 1Up, sheds a bit more light:

We ran all of MaddoxX’s proof by a software security expert who requested anonymity. “This looks real to me. He found a way into [Valve's] Cyber Café software,” the security expert confirms, “but what I’ve seen — the files pulled down — don’t indicate whether or not he breached Valve itself.”

The data MaddoxX released includes:

- Screenshots of internal Valve web pages
- A portion of Valve’s Cafe directory
- Error logs
- Credit card information of customers
- Financial information on Valve

It’s our opinion that the hack is legit, and that Valve’s security model is flawed. If one file-server can be compromised, they all can. If they can’t, then Valve is deploying servers haphazardly, leading to the possibility that flaws will sporadically exist which can be used to exploit their customer base. If you play Counterstrike or Half-life, be scared.
