Golden Axe and Sonic the Hedgehog were both released today on Xbox Live Arcade for $5 each. I’m not really excited about either one. I’ve never been a Sonic fan and while I do remember enjoying Golden Axe I think retro titles like this are like movies and tv shows I liked in the 80’s. […]

A demo for the Campaign Mode of Ace Combat 6 was released this morning corresponding with E3. I was playing it at lunch today and I was really impressed with the graphics. Everything looks more realistic than I expected. The HUD has a lot of info on it, but I quickly found the few pieces […]

I checked out the demo for NCAA Football 08 last night and it is pretty much exactly how I remember NCAA Football 07. The graphics don’t really look any better. The plays are all still the same. The only difference I can see is they changed the audible and coverage options that are available before […]

The last few months Official Xbox Magazine Demo Discs have been lacking, but this month they have an exclusive demo of Eternal Sonata. Initially I was not that interested in Eternal Sonata, but since I can’t turn down trying a demo I gave it a shot. Eternal Sonata is about the final hours of the […]

Missile Command was released on the Xbox Live Arcade yesterday. The game play, for those 2 people out there not familiar with it, is just what the title says. You command some defensive towers to keep incoming missile attacks from hitting your cities. The game was originally released in 1980 by Atari. The Xbox Live […]

*** Spoiler Alert *** I watched Eragon Saturday night. I did not have much to do and my wife wanted to watch something that she could watch while doing other stuff. So, I went with Eragon. Eragon fills just about every fantasy movie cliche they could find, but the whole thing felt rushed. In each […]

So another month has come and gone. Lets take a look at how things faired on Xbox Live Arcade. For those of you who are new to my blog I grade Xbox Live Arcade on a monthly basis for three main areas. These are the release schedule, the pricing, and the number of retro games. […]

*** Spoiler Alert *** I saw A Scanner Darkly Friday and thought I’d see if anyone else had seen it and if so what you thought of it. I rented it because I remembered the trailed looking cool with the whole thing done in an animated style. If I understood correctly they taped the whole […]
