The Spring May Dashboard Update was released this morning. Here is the list of what is updated from Microsoft’s press release. I’ve listed a few of the key features below. Windows Live Messenger integration. Windows Live Messenger on Xbox 360 will text chat using the virtual keyboard accessible on Xbox 360, or by connecting a […]

I was playing Rainbow Six: Vegas and the guys I was playing with were discussing why they would use the Wired Xbox 360 Controller. Personally. I can’t see a reason to use one, but one of the guys was adamant that the wired controller is better because he doesn’t have to buy batteries. The rest […]

When I hear a while back that Settlers of Catan was being made for release on Xbox Live Arcade I was pretty excited. Settlers of Catan is one of my all time favorite board games so to be able to play it with my friends over Live seemed like a great idea. I played a […]

I downloaded Centipede/Millipede for Xbox Live Arcade this morning and had a chance to play it for a while on my lunch break. When I saw this was coming out I was actually looking forward to it because I played a lot of Centipede as a kid. I’m not into most retro Arcade games on […]

Since there are no more Wednesdays in April I thought today would be a good day to take a look at how Xbox Live Arcade fared this last ointh. If it were not for the fact I’m at work I would be playing some more Eets: Chowdown, but I don’t think my boss would be […]

When I originally saw the screen shots and videos for Eets: Chowdown I was not that impressed because the graphics are not a style I’m normally fond of. Also, I don’t generally like PC games that are converted (this is an upgrade to Eets: Hunger) for Xbox Live Arcade. In spite of this I decided […]

When I saw Pinball FX was coming out for Xbox Live Arcade I was pretty excited because both my wife and I are big fans of pinball. After playing Pinball FX for a while I’m a little disappointed. The game itself plays great. It responds really well to the controls and the physics of the […]

I played Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2’s multiplayer for a while last night. What GRAW2 lacks in a single player campaign it makes up for in multiplayer and co-op options. There are 9 different verses game modes and 3 co-op modes. Under each of these modes there are multiple game types which can be further […]

I took some time away from GRAW2 this weekend to check out the Command and Conquer 3 demo. I’ve never played any of the previous Command and Conquer games, but I spent many hours playing StarCraft back in college so I’m familiar with playing real-time strategy (RTS) games. I also played some Battle for Middle-Earth […]

I started playing Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2’s single player campaign on Friday afternoon. Sunday I finished the campaign on the “guarded Risk” difficulty setting. That was fast. I checked LiveEye and it said I had played for 12 hours, but 2 hours of that was me downloading the exclusive multiplayer map. So, that means […]
