OXM June 2007 Demo Disc Recap

I got the June edition of Official Xbox Magazine in the mail Friday. I got a chance to check out the demo disc today and I’m pretty disappointed. While I don’t recall seeing any of these demos on the Xbox Live Marketplace previously it is quite possible they were and I just never noticed. I […]

Catan Mini Review

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 […]

Centipede/Millipede Mini Review

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 […]

Smoking Aces Review

*** Spoiler Alert *** I watched Smoking Aces over a week ago, but I’ve been holding off on writing a review because I just can’t decide if I liked it or not. It is not that I specifically did not like the movie, but it is more that the movie’s plot seemed like an excuse […]

April Xbox Live Arcade Review and Recap

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 […]

Eets: Chowdown Mini Review

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 […]

Pinball FX Mini Review

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 […]

GRAW2 Multiplayer Review

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 […]

Command and Conquer 3 Demo Review

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 […]

GRAW2 Single Player Review

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 […]
