I heard somewhere this game is what spawned the idea for Zuma. I’m not sure it it is true or not, but I like Zuma so I was looking forward to Luxor 2. I’m not that great at Zuma (I’ve never completely beat the whole game) so I was a little concerned Luxor 2 would […]

The contest I was running to give away Uno and Robotron on Xbox Live Arcade as well as a month subscription to GameznFlix.com is now over. With a total of 52 entries the top vote, with 10 votes, for most anticipated Xbox Live Arcade game is Worms. TMNT came in second with 5 votes. After […]

Today, I thought I’d take a look at how Xbox Live Arcade did for the month of March. As I previously mentioned, the Top Thee Problems with Xbox Live Arcade are the lack of games coming out, the pricing and the number of retro games. For each of these areas I’ll take a quick look […]

The problem with Jetpac Refuelled is that it was a fun game when the original was released 24 years ago. It is nice they have both the enhanced and original versions of the game for 400 points, but it is still just another retro game. It still appeals to the same audience as all the […]

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was released on Xbox Live Arcade today. I took a few minutes on my lunch break to play it. I’d never previously played any of the Castlevania games so I thought I’d check it out. I figure, like most of the retro games that are released, the people who most […]

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. […]

Alien Hominid was released for Xbox Live Arcade last Wednesday. I finally stopped playing Crackdown long enough to check it out, but I wish I hadn’t. I’m glad to see something getting released on XBLA, and I do like the graphical style of the game. It reminds of the Metal Slug games I played in […]

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 […]

I saw today on IGN that THQ is releasing a new Tetris game called “Tetris Evolved.” “Tetris Evolved adds two new modes, Go Low and Eraser, for both single and multiplayer gaming. The multiplayer modes support local and Xbox Live play for up to four people and Xbox Live vets can use the matchmaking system […]
