So another month has come and gone. Lets take a look at how things faired on Xbox Live Arcade. For those of you who are new to my blog I grade Xbox Live Arcade on a monthly basis for three main areas. These are the release schedule, the pricing, and the number of retro games. […]

I finally got a chance to check out Carcassonne last night and I can see why people like the board game. There are so many layers of strategy. A couple of them are obvious right off the bat, but I could tell that there will be more layers of strategy to figure out once I […]

Band of Bugs game out today and so far I’m really liking it. It is a turn based strategy game where your army consists of bugs. It reminds me of Tactics 100 which I reviewed a while back in that you want to position your bugs in the best position to attack your opponents without […]

Prince of Persia Classic was released on Xbox Live Arcade today. I tried the demo earlier and it was how I remember from playing on the PC version as a kid. If you played Prince of Persia when it was released originally then all of the original goodness is here with some enhanced graphical elements […]

Earlier this week rumors were circulating around the internet that Microsoft would be making a big announcement this week.

Well, someone on the development team for Mad Tracks is a big fan of Mario Kart because they are very similar. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have the nice balance of weapons that Mario Kart has. I had heard good things about Mad Tracks before it was released on a couple podcasts I listen to so I […]

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 […]
