For the third week in a row there actually was a release on Xbox Live Arcade. It is a retro game, but I’ll try not to hold that against it. I do like the $5 (400 point) price point for this. I tried Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1989 Classic Arcade out and it is exactly […]

This is the First Edition of the Entertainment Center Carnival. This carnival will focus on all things related to an entertainment center; including TVs, DVDs, DVRs, reviews, and setup help. For this first edition we have two entries. First, Praveen presents Branded Interactive Features Coming to DVDs posted at My Simple Trading System. It is […]

*** Spoiler Alert *** I saw 300 today and I have to say that I really liked it. I’m not a movie critique by any means. As long as there is decent action and effects I probably like it, but 300 goes beyond having just a list of fights stringed together. The movie has a […]

Before last week I had not played Worms since I was in high school. Fortunately, an updated version of Worms was released for Xbox Live Arcade last week. The simple, but addictive, gameplay is still there. If you’re not familiar with Worms, basically, you take a team of worm soldiers and attack an enemy team. […]

I’ve been using the Creative MuVo TX FM for well over a year now. It works very well as a gym MP3 player. It is light weight. It has an optional belt clip, arm band, and a slot to hang on a lanyard. It is flash based so it will be fine getting tossed around […]

I don’t mind when people smoke. I use to spend a few weeks each summer with my Aunt. She smoked and I have grown use to the smell. What I mind is people who blow smoke in your direction when they could easily go the other direction or who ignore No Smoking signs. I don’t […]

I recently played through Halo 2’s co-op mode on Legendary. I realized a couple things while playing. First, while graphics are an essential part of a game they are not the primary factor in what makes a game fun. Despite the fact the game is a few years old now and the graphics are not […]

In case you had not noticed an update was released for Rainbow Six: Vegas this week. In it there were about a dozen bug fixes and a few major gameplay changes (full list below). It is nice that Xbox Live allows for games with bugs to get fixed, but really I’d prefer that companies test […]

Alien Hominid was released for Xbox Live Arcade last Wednesday. I finally stopped playing Crackdown long enough to check it out, but I wish I hadn’t. I’m glad to see something getting released on XBLA, and I do like the graphical style of the game. It reminds of the Metal Slug games I played in […]

In my recent review of online word processors I mentioned that my only complaint about Zoho Writer was the inablilty to create folders. Since posting that I’ve had a couple people mention ways to to get around this. First, Zoho Writer has a built in option that lets you use the tag names as “folders”. […]
