Thanks to our friends with the Microsoft Automotive team I had the privilege to join them for this past weekends Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix . I have never attended an IRL, Le Mans Series or an SCCA SPEED World event so I got to experience all three in one location. It was a great event! Being a guest...

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. I had purchased the additional 2 year warranty from Best Buy when I originally bought the console. This has turned out to be a very good investment. I went to...

Game of the Week - Ninja Gaiden II

Game of the Week - Iron Man

I have been a fan of Iron Man since I was a kid. Granted he is not on the top of the super hero food chain but I did pick up the occasional issue of the Invincible Iron Man. You may or may not have heard that a summer blockbuster was just released starring Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man . On a side note...

Game of the Week: Gears of War 2

When the dust settled on the original Gears of War release over four million copies were sold and some of the highest critical praise of any title on the 360 to date. 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...

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...

CES Day 3

Coming to you live from Las Vegas at CES 2008. Today was another good day. After some early meetings with the Microsoft Vista team and the High Tech team it was on to the convention floor for additional networking. There were 35 football fields worth of booths and exhibits. There was a very large focus...

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...
