I checked out the demo for The Bigs this afternoon and it was pretty fun. I stink at it, but not as bad as I did with the MLB 2k7 demo. It has a similar play style to the old Blitz games where players are making impossible catches, but without all the direct violence. If […]

The Blue Dragon demo has two levels available that you can play for an hour each. I was able to beat the first level of the demo with a couple minutes to spare, and I made it a good way into the second level before I got mad and had to stop. While I do […]

A demo for Stuntman: Ignition was released on the Marketplace today and while I stink at racing games I figured I’d give it a try anyway. While it looks pretty good, I found it to be very difficult. Even when I set it to the easy mode I had trouble beating any of the three […]

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.

It is nice that they released the Black Pack for free, but it still is a tad annoying they messed up the first time and charged $10 for it. Now I have to wait 8 to 10 weeks to get my refund. It is also nice they dropped price of the Red Pack to be […]

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 […]

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. […]
