Most weeks when new Xbox Live Arcade games are released you’ll find a mini review here, on my blog, about them within a day or two. This week I’m not going to be reviewing either Xevious or Rush’n Attack because I could not make myself play either one of them long enough to be able […]

I played Aegis Wing for a few hours Wednesday night while I was waiting on the Halo 3 Beta to be fixed and released. It has been a while since I’ve played a side-scrolling shooter, but my maneuvering and dodging skills came back quickly. I started playing a little single player and then I got […]

While I was waiting around for the Halo 3 beta to be release last night I took some time to check out Soltrio Solitaire even though I knew I was not going to buy the full version. The game looks decent enough, but I never though the graphics would be an issue. My biggest issue […]

I beat the last level in Eets: Showdown today. According to LiveEye I’ve played it 15 hours and 42 minutes so far. Not bad for a $10 game with 123 levels, and I’m not done playing it yet. I still want to play some 4 player Marsho Madness. I played 3 player on Saturday and […]

With the dashboard update and the Forza 2 demo getting released I almost forgot about the Xbox Live Arcade yesterday. Fortunately, I remembered it in time to check out Double Dragon. Released in the arcade in 1987 Double Dragon is the most classic beat ’em up games from that era. It was the first side […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
