A friend of mine recently told me BrightSpot.tv could save me $5 a month on my GameFly.com membership. Since I’m a tightwad I figured I’d check it out. BrightSpot.tv essentially pays you for watching advertisers’ videos. You don’t get actual cash, but instead the money you make gets credited to an account of your choice. […]

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. […]

I recently played through Halo 2’s co-op mode on Legendary. I realized a couple things while playing. First, while graphics are an essential part of a game they are not the primary factor in what makes a game fun. Despite the fact the game is a few years old now and the graphics are not […]

The other day I received and email from Xbox.com letting me know that I was “smart enough to buy an Xbox 360 and register it.” As a result I was getting rewarded with a free copy of Robotron, Frogger, & Joust. A little searching around the usual forums and I found that these emails started […]

Since Ubisoft is planning on releasing Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (GRAW 2) just one year after the release of the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (GRAW) there has been a lot of talk about whether this will be just an update to GRAW or if it stands on its own. Fortunately, they have tried to […]

Not that everyone has not already tried them out, but I wrote this up a while back and never posted it. So, for those few of you who have not had a chance to play them yet here’s what I think. Raven DownAt first I did not really like this one because, until you get […]
