The last few months Official Xbox Magazine Demo Discs have been lacking, but this month they have an exclusive demo of Eternal Sonata. Initially I was not that interested in Eternal Sonata, but since I can’t turn down trying a demo I gave it a shot. Eternal Sonata is about the final hours of the […]

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 […]

*** Spoiler Alert *** I watched Eragon Saturday night. I did not have much to do and my wife wanted to watch something that she could watch while doing other stuff. So, I went with Eragon.

I finally got a chance to check out Carcassonne last night and I can see why people like the board game. There are so many layers of strategy. A couple of them are obvious right off the bat, but I could tell that there will be more layers of strategy to figure out once I […]

If you have not figured it out by now I’m a sucker for game demos. Earlier this week the demo for Surf’s Up was released. Even though I know the game is based on a kid’s movie and is directed for children I still had to check it out. I’m glad I did because even […]

Band of Bugs game out today and so far I’m really liking it. It is a turn based strategy game where your army consists of bugs. It reminds me of Tactics 100 which I reviewed a while back in that you want to position your bugs in the best position to attack your opponents without […]

I’ve been playing Command & Conquer Tiberium Wars 3 when I don’t have a lot of friends online playing Shadowrun or Rainbow Six: Vegas for the last couple weeks and it has really started to grow on me. I’ve been playing the campaign because it will let you save any time you want and then […]
