I decided to check out 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures despite the fact the last golf game I played, Tiger Woods 07, had me swearing like a sailor (no offense to any sailors reading this). Fortunately, they kept the controls nice and simple. All you have to control is the angle of the hit and the […]

I decided to set aside my anti-retro bias and give Gyruss a try today. Gyruss is essentially a Galaga clone. The only real difference is that instead of moving along the bottom you move in a circle around the edge facing the middle of the screen. Like Galaga waves of enemies come on screen and […]

Boom Boom Rocket was released on Xbox Live Arcade today. I took some time to check it out this morning. Boom Boom Rocket is pretty much Dance Dance Revolution played with a controller. All of the button presses are timed to the beats of the music so if you have no rhythm this one might […]

I heard somewhere this game is what spawned the idea for Zuma. I’m not sure it it is true or not, but I like Zuma so I was looking forward to Luxor 2. I’m not that great at Zuma (I’ve never completely beat the whole game) so I was a little concerned Luxor 2 would […]

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 […]

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. […]
