Aegis Wing Mini Review

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 […]

Soltrio Solitaire Mini Review

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 […]

Halo 3 Beta First Impressions

I finally got the Halo 3 beta downloaded late last night and after I finished watching Lost I played a few games. If I have time I’ll get a longer review written about the Halo 3 Beta after I play it for a few more hours, but after playing only three games here are my […]

Blacksite: Area 51 Demo Review

There is something about first person shooters and alien invasions that just go together. Blacksite: Area 51’s developers know this and have built the game around it. After playing the demo a couple times I generally like what I’m seeing. The demo starts with you arriving with your other 2 squad members at the edge […]

Forza Motorsport 2 Demo

The much anticipated (at least with the people on my friends list) Forza Motorsport 2 Demo was release today. I’m not much of a racing game fan, but I gave it a try anyway. It looks great and for a demo there are a lot of vehicles to try, but none of them have an […]

Double Dragon Mini Review

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 […]

Tactics 100 Review

My wife was playing Tetris on my Xbox 360 (it was her birthday so I figured I’d let her) so I was surfing the internet and stumbled across the game Tactics 100. The site lists this description: Your goal is to create an army of 100 points and send that army into battle against other […]

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 […]
