Last night I finally wrangled up enough people to launch my Xbox challenge. And then my Xbox red-ringed. Nice. There's a month before the competition period ends, so if I'm lucky I might still be able to compete.

My Chemical Romance song pack for Guitar Hero II?  Yes, please!

Katamari demo for 360?  Downloading!

If you have Xbox Live on the 360 and did not immediately drop $10 on Bomberman Live this past Wednesday, you must have some mental disability or something. What's really cool is you can also bring along friends on the couch with you to online matches, so you can still have all the yelling and cursing and not necessarily have to deal with 9-year ( Read more... )

Oh holy fuck, it's gorgeous. Check out the new trailer for [ Ace Combat 6 ] for the 360. For maximum effect, I recommend downloading and viewing the large HD format video. This is definitely on the top of my must-buy list this year, and has been ever since I heard Microsoft scored the series away from Sony as a platform exclusive (if at least ( Read more... )

Halo 3 beta key just arrived in mein email. I don't much care for the game, but I made the first cut way back when they announced the drawing after signing up just for the heck of it. Looks like I'll need to free up a gig-o'-space.

ADDENDUM: Hmm, at first the download was going surprisingly fast, but now I've hit a wall and it's taking it's time ( Read more... )

One of the worst-kept secrets, the Xbox 360 "Elite" has finally been announced. I originally had no hesitations about upgrading, but since it doesn't use the newer, smaller, cooler-running chips; that I only have a 1080i TV (thus no problems with component video); and that I don't really want a black 360 made me rethink my decision. Thankfully ( Read more... )

Our Robot Dance Legion presentation has some technical difficulties, and those were the great majority of the reason our game got shot down. However, two games were chosen to go into pre-production. Thankfully I'd been assigned to the game that's not a boring GTA-meets-vampires game. I'm Team Leader for the gameplay section which probably means ( Read more... )

Download the Saints Row demo from Xbox Live. Now jump onto somebody's car and watch as they go bat-shit insane freaking out and swerving every which way, driving through pedestrians, crashing into other traffic and walls. In fact, I stood on this one woman's car and even when she knocked me off, she was still loony and kept crashing into the side ( Read more... )

I like me my racing games, so two of the three 360 games I bought included Project Gotham Racing 3 and Need For Speed: Most Wanted. (I'd also really like another Ridge Racer to play, but something tells me to wait for the inevitable quick price drop on that one ( Read more... )

I then made way to BestBuy (Orange Park, FL) and parked just as someone clutching a 360 was walking out the door. It was 8:30. I looked around for one of those long tables, but didn't find one. I turned towards Customer Service and saw several people with vouchers, so I hopped in line. They did a head count and declared me the lucky final person. ( Read more... )
