3000 Easy Achievement Points

I’m 2/3 of the way through a 30 day GamerScore Challenge. The winner of which gets a 1 year membership to GameFly. There are 22 of us competing to get the most achievement points. As of a couple days ago I was in second place. I was about 500 points behind the guy in first. […]

TimeShift Review

After playing the TimeShift demo quite a while back I finally got around to trying out the full game. I did not bother playing the multiplayer since I’ve got plenty of other multiplayer games I’m already playing, but I did really enjoy playing through the single player campaign. The ability to pause, stop, or rewind […]

The Club Demo Impressions

In case you could not tell I was in the mood to try out all the demos I’ve been downloading last night. I remember reading a preview for The Club and it sounded pretty interesting. I played through the demo last night and I was pleasantly surprised. The Club is a third person shooter with […]

Devil May Cry 4 Demo Impressions

I’ll start off by letting you know I’ve not played the Devil May Cry series before. I’ve seen it, but never played it. I played through both parts of the Devil May Cry 4 demo today and I think I’m missing why so many people lave the DMC series. I’ll admit that the graphics are […]

Turning Point Demo Impressions

With all the demos released this week I’ve been having trouble keeping up. I got a chance at lunch today to check out the demo for Turning Point: Fall of Liberty. I’m going to start with the one thing I did like (yes, things are going to go downhill quickly). I really like the concept […]

First, I heard that the achievements were really easy. Second, TMNT brings back memories of my childhood and the original […]

Turok Demo Impressions

I played the demo for Turok this weekend that is on the OXM demo disk this month. Going into it I was expecting another run of the mill shooter with a dinosaur theme. I’ve been underwhelmed by the shooter demos I’ve played recently so I did not have my hopes very high. I was pleasantly […]

Exclusive Rock Band Tracks From OXM

I’m not going to make it a habit of reviewing songs from Rock Band, but I thought i was interesting that Official Xbox Magazine got three exclusive songs for Rock Band on their demo disc this month. I’ve mentioned it in the past, but every time I think about not renewing my OXM subscription they […]

Portal Easter Egg Video (spoilers)

I came across this video from Portal today. I really enjoyed portal (and the rest of The Orange Box), but I had not heard about an alternate endings. Apparently there is one. Here is the video of how to get to it: Has anyone tried this? I always wondered it there was a way to […]

Rock Band Review

I’ve been meaning to write this review for over a week, and every time I have some spare time I end up playing instead. It turns out that works in my favor for this review because I’ve spent a lot more time with Rock Band in the last week. To start off with, yes, I […]
