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 - 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...

Game of the Week - Army of Two

To preface this review I want to state for the record that I really enjoy co-op shooters. So this review has a positive slant from the word go because I am a fanboy of any game that allows you to blow stuff up with your buddies in real time. Electronic Arts did a great job with Army of Two as it is just...

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...

Game of the Week - COD4

My pick for this week was Call of Duty 4. I was very impressed by the campaign mode of this title. COD4 is a big step forward for the series as this is the first venture beyond WWII and the move is welcomed. The basic elements of COD are there... regenerative health, great weapons and frustrating points...

Game of the Week - Guitar Hero III

The game I am playing the most this week is Guitar Hero III. The first day I had it I played through 23 out of the 42 songs on career mode. I would not recommend doing that again as my hand is still numb. I have to say that the Les Paul wireless guitar is a definite upgrade to the initial Xplorer version...

Halo 3 Blamed?

We all know about the $170 million in a day, $300 million in a week, 2.7 million people on Xbox live (that is 1/3 of all live members) and the fact that it was the largest entertainment product launch in history...
