Pinball FX 2 hit Xbox Live Arcade this week and while I don’t generally play pinball video games I decided to check it out.  I do like playing real pinball machines, but the video game counterparts have never held my interest. I was pleasantly surprised how much fun I had playing Pinball FX 2. The […]

A demo for Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit hit Xbox Live today so I took a little time away from Fallout New Vegas to check it out. I played a couple head to head races at E3 this past summer and enjoyed the game mode they had there.  In this demo there are a couple […]

I know I’m late to the party with this one, but I finally got around to playing Dawn of War II. DoW2 is a real time strategy game removes all of the base building and focuses solely on the fighting. Some people call it a tactical RPG, but to me it plays more like an […]

I purchased Costume Quest Wednesday evening and finished it last night with all of the achievements completed. It took me just under 5 hours to finish and while that does seem kind of short when I think about it now I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing the game. Double Fine has made fun, simple action […]

I’ve always been a sucker for Space Invader games.  I’m not that great at them but there is something about the simplicity and nostalgia that keeps me playing each new version. So, when  Space Invaders Infinity Gene hit Xbox Live Arcade I knew I’d be spending some time with it.  I’ve got my full review […]

Lets face it, even without the demo I was going to play Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2. I enjoyed the first one and after seeing this same demo played by a Lucas Arts rep at E3 I knew this one would be fun too. The demo is the first level of the game which […]

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West was not really on my radar before this week. I had seen the trailers and while they looked good graphically it seemed like a third person platformer which I’m not a fan of.  Things would probably have stayed that way if not for a large number of my friends talking […]

I intentionally waited to play Plants vs Zombies when it released on Xbox Live Arcade so I could get the achievements for it. I played the demo of the PC version quite a while back and never got around to buying it. Then the rumors it was coming to XBLA started and I decided to […]

I’m really enjoying playing Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution for Borderlands.  I’ve played through it once on playthrough 1 and completely enjoyed the story line.  It is truly funny to have 4 or 5 hours worth of Claptrap related shenanigans. The boss fights against old enemies who have been turned into Claptrap version of themselves were […]

I thoroughly enjoyed DeathSpank . I even gave it a 10/10 (here). So, when they announced that DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue would be out a month after the release of the first one I was pretty pumped.  I played through DeathSpank TOV this last weekend and has a great time with it.  It is just […]
