The contest I was running to give away Uno and Robotron on Xbox Live Arcade as well as a month subscription to GameznFlix.com is now over. With a total of 52 entries the top vote, with 10 votes, for most anticipated Xbox Live Arcade game is Worms. TMNT came in second with 5 votes. After […]

Today, I thought I’d take a look at how Xbox Live Arcade did for the month of March. As I previously mentioned, the Top Thee Problems with Xbox Live Arcade are the lack of games coming out, the pricing and the number of retro games. For each of these areas I’ll take a quick look […]

The problem with Jetpac Refuelled is that it was a fun game when the original was released 24 years ago. It is nice they have both the enhanced and original versions of the game for 400 points, but it is still just another retro game. It still appeals to the same audience as all the […]

If you have played any of the previous games in the Tony Hawk series then you’re probably familiar with how each new one goes. For the most part, each new Tony Hawk game adds a few new gameplay elements and better graphics. Project 8’s graphics are the best for any Tony Hawk game so far, […]

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was released on Xbox Live Arcade today. I took a few minutes on my lunch break to play it. I’d never previously played any of the Castlevania games so I thought I’d check it out. I figure, like most of the retro games that are released, the people who most […]

For the third week in a row there actually was a release on Xbox Live Arcade. It is a retro game, but I’ll try not to hold that against it. I do like the $5 (400 point) price point for this. I tried Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1989 Classic Arcade out and it is exactly […]

Before last week I had not played Worms since I was in high school. Fortunately, an updated version of Worms was released for Xbox Live Arcade last week. The simple, but addictive, gameplay is still there. If you’re not familiar with Worms, basically, you take a team of worm soldiers and attack an enemy team. […]

In case you had not noticed an update was released for Rainbow Six: Vegas this week. In it there were about a dozen bug fixes and a few major gameplay changes (full list below). It is nice that Xbox Live allows for games with bugs to get fixed, but really I’d prefer that companies test […]

Alien Hominid was released for Xbox Live Arcade last Wednesday. I finally stopped playing Crackdown long enough to check it out, but I wish I hadn’t. I’m glad to see something getting released on XBLA, and I do like the graphical style of the game. It reminds of the Metal Slug games I played in […]
