After some delays, the Player’s Pack Red Edition for Rainbow Six: Vegas was released Wednesday. The pack contains 5 new maps and 2 new game modes. At 800 points,$10, I think this is a must buy for any who plays Rainbow Six: Vegas regularly. Give that Halo 2 charged $2 a map recently, with no […]

I decided to check out 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures despite the fact the last golf game I played, Tiger Woods 07, had me swearing like a sailor (no offense to any sailors reading this). Fortunately, they kept the controls nice and simple. All you have to control is the angle of the hit and the […]

I decided to set aside my anti-retro bias and give Gyruss a try today. Gyruss is essentially a Galaga clone. The only real difference is that instead of moving along the bottom you move in a circle around the edge facing the middle of the screen. Like Galaga waves of enemies come on screen and […]

So, Bungie released a couple new Halo 2 maps today. I figure anyone interested in these maps already knows all about them, but it not you can get more info here. Personally, I’m not going to pick up these 2 maps. I don’t see a reason. I quit playing Halo 2 over a year ago. […]

I finally completed my first Xbox Reward challenge by getting 1500 achievement points. I took me longer than I thought it would, but in my defense I was out of town for 2 weeks with no Xbox 360. It is nice to get rewarded for something I’m going to do anyway; in this case playing […]

For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to download the Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia Demo that was released yesterday. I figured since it was a free demo I’d give it a try. Now that I tried it I wish I had not wasted my time. I knew going into it […]

An Auto Update was released for Gears of War Monday that, among other small changes, adds a new gametype to Gears of War. This new gametype is called Annex. Annex is essentially “King of the Hill” where the hill moves after it has been held for a minute. A big difference between normal King of […]

Boom Boom Rocket was released on Xbox Live Arcade today. I took some time to check it out this morning. Boom Boom Rocket is pretty much Dance Dance Revolution played with a controller. All of the button presses are timed to the beats of the music so if you have no rhythm this one might […]

Despite my complaints with Tetris Evolution I ended up renting it because my wife is a big fan of Tetris. We played for a while the other night and the game itself plays fine. I’ve heard some people complaining about the 360 controller not working well for Tetris, but I did not have any issues […]

I heard somewhere this game is what spawned the idea for Zuma. I’m not sure it it is true or not, but I like Zuma so I was looking forward to Luxor 2. I’m not that great at Zuma (I’ve never completely beat the whole game) so I was a little concerned Luxor 2 would […]
