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...

Red Ring of Death x 3

Well once again I am a victim of the dreaded Red Ring of Death . For those of you unfamiliar with the term it basically means that my Xbox 360 has fried.... again. This time my beloved Elite system froze in the middle of a Soul Calibur 4 session. Yoda was dominating for what it's worth... Then I...

Xbox Live Fall Update - E3

Today at E3 Microsoft previewed the upcoming fall Xbox Live update. And what changes there will be. The interface is obviously moving towards more of a Mac/Vista look and feel.

Game of the Week - Ninja Gaiden II

One of my all time favorite games was the original Ninja Gaiden on the NES. I still remember the opening cut scenes ... that was all about the story that you needed to know... you knew it was time to start slashing away. When I first heard the news about Ninja Gaiden II I was immediately hooked. When...

40,000+ gamerscore

Yesterday marked the passing of the 4 0,0000 gamerscore plateau. It took 151 days to go from 30,000K to 40,000K with an average gain of 66 points per day. So I thought I would take a moment and archive some fun facts from this latest points quest. 1) Consecutive Days Played Streak - 22 2) Retail Titles...

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...

Game of the Week - Dark Sector

When I first read about Dark Sector in OXM a few months back I really liked the concept of the game. I had heard about the drawn out development cycles and the focus on the Glaive. (Think Krull). So when it recently launched I had to pick it up and I was not disappointed. Dark Sector takes some of the...
