I beat the last level in Eets: Showdown today. According to LiveEye I’ve played it 15 hours and 42 minutes so far. Not bad for a $10 game with 123 levels, and I’m not done playing it yet. I still want to play some 4 player Marsho Madness. I played 3 player on Saturday and […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
