Having finished Fallout: New Vegas I spent the last couple days playing Rock Band 3 (review coming at some point), Radiangames Fireball and Faery: Legends of Avalon.  Fireball is similar to passivism mode in Geometry Wars but expanded to a full game.  At just $1 it is my value game for the week because I’ve [...]

Pinball FX 2 hit Xbox Live Arcade this week and while I don’t generally play pinball video games I decided to check it out.  I do like playing real pinball machines, but the video game counterparts have never held my interest. I was pleasantly surprised how much fun I had playing Pinball FX 2. The [...]

I purchased Costume Quest Wednesday evening and finished it last night with all of the achievements completed. It took me just under 5 hours to finish and while that does seem kind of short when I think about it now I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing the game. Double Fine has made fun, simple action [...]

I’ve always been a sucker for Space Invader games.  I’m not that great at them but there is something about the simplicity and nostalgia that keeps me playing each new version. So, when  Space Invaders Infinity Gene hit Xbox Live Arcade I knew I’d be spending some time with it.  I’ve got my full review [...]

I intentionally waited to play Plants vs Zombies when it released on Xbox Live Arcade so I could get the achievements for it. I played the demo of the PC version quite a while back and never got around to buying it. Then the rumors it was coming to XBLA started and I decided to [...]

I thoroughly enjoyed DeathSpank . I even gave it a 10/10 (here). So, when they announced that DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue would be out a month after the release of the first one I was pretty pumped.  I played through DeathSpank TOV this last weekend and has a great time with it.  It is just [...]

Hydrophobia is the kind of game I would probably normally overlook. I don’t play a lot of survival games in general and I have quite a few other Xbox Live Arcade games currently in my backlog of titles.  However, with Microsoft running this Game Feast promotion all month I was given a review code for [...]

After seeing the line up for this year’s Summer of Arcade I fully expected Hydro Thunder Hurricane (HTH) to be my favorite of the five titles releasing.  Especially after trying it at E3 this year. I had seen the trailers and screens for Monday Night Combat (MNC) and thought it looked pretty fun, but the [...]

Perfect Dark, and GoldenEye before it, were some of my most played N64 games.  My roommates and I played for hours almost every night. So, when the Xbox Live Arcade version was announced I was pretty excited. I’ve spent some time with it now that it released last week and I’ve really been enjoying it.  [...]

At some point soon I’m going to have to start writing for my own blog again, but for now I wanted to point my few loyal readers to my Scrap Metal Review on VGRevolution.com.  Scrap Metal is pretty fun but I don’t think it s worth the $15 price. If you want to ready why [...]
