RROD Update

I posted earlier about the Red Ring of Death . Less than 24 hours after the issues started I have a brand new Xbox Elite back up and running.

So it is easy to say that the expectations around Gears of War 2 are pretty high. Epic Games is the studio behind Gears of War 2 and the...

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and Spore

There are some great games on the horizon in 2008. There are two in particular that I am very interested in. The first being Electronic Arts Spore which will have it's own post in the near future. It was recently announced that Spore will be released on September 7th. The other title I am looking...

30,000 and the Future

One of the best features that the Xbox team introduced was tying in game achievements to a publically viewable profile. What this allowed was for you as a gamer to start building gaming "equity" over time that could then be shared and compared with your friends and others in the gaming community...

Microsoft Dallas - Halo 3 Pre-Launch Event

Last night I was one of the lucky few to attend the Microsoft Dallas Halo 3 Pre-launch event. This was an invite only gathering to preview and play Halo 3 before the launch and to just have a good time fragging people left and right. The event started with the obligatory swag bag with Halo T-shirt and...
