Blur Racer Blur Allows For Twitter Challenges Across PS3 and Xbox Live

In another example of cross-platform gaming, the XBox and PS3 racer Blur is now integrating Twitter to facilitate challenges. While early reports had suggested that there would be some sort of technology that linked the game into the challenges, the CEO clarified recently that the technology would simply mean that users could send Twitter messages from within the game.

Activision blogger Dan Amrich stated that “I’m watching my Twitter account and a friend on 360 says ‘Hey, @OneOfSwords, I just got this time on this track, try and beat it,’ and I’m playing the PS3 version…that’s a cross-platform challenge.
