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 […]

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 […]

Player’s Pack Red Edition for Rainbow Six: Vegas Reviewed

After some delays, the Player’s Pack Red Edition for Rainbow Six: Vegas was released Wednesday. The pack contains 5 new maps and 2 new game modes. At 800 points,$10, I think this is a must buy for any who plays Rainbow Six: Vegas regularly. Give that Halo 2 charged $2 a map recently, with no […]

3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures Review

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 […]

Gyruss Mini Review

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 […]

Desktop Tower Defense Review

Generally I’m not a big fan of Flash based web games. I prefer to play games with a controller sitting on my couch, but when I heard the guys from DL.tv mention how much fun Desktop Tower Defense (DTD) was I thought I’d give it a try. Now that I’ve been playing it for a […]

Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia Demo Review

For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to download the Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia Demo that was released yesterday. I figured since it was a free demo I’d give it a try. Now that I tried it I wish I had not wasted my time. I knew going into it […]
