Are You The Next Xpert?

In August this year, Xbox Singapore launched a radical initiative to bring Xbox fans together online and introduce newcomers to Xbox LIVE. The Xbox LIVE Xperts program is currently led by local blogger Sheylara, who has become the face of the local Xbox team to help build a vibrant online community. The initiative has generated a strong positive response from local gamers and if you’ve always wanted to be part of the Xbox team, now is your chance to be the next Xpert!

Xbox Singapore is now calling for video entries from potential Xperts and the winner will be announced at X08. Log on to www.xperts.com.sg for more details.

Lara Croft takes on Singapore

Lara Croft, the fearless adventurer from Tomb Raider series is making a special appearance at X08. Featuring the essential characteristics at the core of Lara Croft’s personality -- brawn, brains and beauty - Alison Carroll particularly compliments this iteration of Ms. Croft.

One of the top draws of X08, Tomb Raider: Underworld is the first Tomb Raider game designed to fully reflect the physical athleticism and real-world skills required of a world-class adventurer. Sharing Lara’s strength and grace, Alison is an experienced competitive gymnast who has performed and competed across the globe. Her more than 12 years of gymnastics training align perfectly with the game’s enhanced movement set and you can expect some high-kicking action at X08!

Hot Rods, Hot Babe

Get your picture taken with 2007’s Miss Maxim and Singapore’s Champion Motorsports Car when you bring your Xbox 360 copy of Midnight Club LA to the IAHGames booth.
