Examining Downloadable Content’s Value

Over the last few weeks there has been quite a bit of Downloadable Content (DLC) that adds new levels and game modes to popular titles on the Xbox 360. Today I’m taking a look back at which games had DLC that was worth buying. I’m only going to focus on games that I actually have […]

Aegis Wing Mini Review

I played Aegis Wing for a few hours Wednesday night while I was waiting on the Halo 3 Beta to be fixed and released. It has been a while since I’ve played a side-scrolling shooter, but my maneuvering and dodging skills came back quickly. I started playing a little single player and then I got […]

Soltrio Solitaire Mini Review

While I was waiting around for the Halo 3 beta to be release last night I took some time to check out Soltrio Solitaire even though I knew I was not going to buy the full version. The game looks decent enough, but I never though the graphics would be an issue. My biggest issue […]

Halo 3 Beta First Impressions

I finally got the Halo 3 beta downloaded late last night and after I finished watching Lost I played a few games. If I have time I’ll get a longer review written about the Halo 3 Beta after I play it for a few more hours, but after playing only three games here are my […]

Oops…Halo 3 Beta via Crackdown

I’m sure by now everyone is aware that the Halo 3 Beta is not yet available for download from within Crackdown like it was suppose to be. I’m not really that surprised. Items that are reported to be up on the Xbox Live Marketplace on a certain date often don’t make it up there until […]

Blacksite: Area 51 Demo Review

There is something about first person shooters and alien invasions that just go together. Blacksite: Area 51’s developers know this and have built the game around it. After playing the demo a couple times I generally like what I’m seeing. The demo starts with you arriving with your other 2 squad members at the edge […]

Forza Motorsport 2 Demo

The much anticipated (at least with the people on my friends list) Forza Motorsport 2 Demo was release today. I’m not much of a racing game fan, but I gave it a try anyway. It looks great and for a demo there are a lot of vehicles to try, but none of them have an […]

Xbox 360 & Messenger Integration Complaints

I’ve been playing around with the Dashboard Update and overall I’m really happy with the enhancements. It is nice to be able to chat with your friends from your computer while they are on Xbox Live, but it already seems like there are some areas they could have improved before releasing the instant messaging features.

Double Dragon Mini Review

With the dashboard update and the Forza 2 demo getting released I almost forgot about the Xbox Live Arcade yesterday. Fortunately, I remembered it in time to check out Double Dragon. Released in the arcade in 1987 Double Dragon is the most classic beat ’em up games from that era. It was the first side […]
