Review: King of Fighters XII for Xbox 360
SNK Playmore has publically stated that they are working on an update to improve the online game play but it is so bad that I would have understood if they delayed the launch of the game. Score: 70 Unfinished but might increase the score to 90 once the online game play is fixed since the game has...

Review: Infernal: Hell's Vengeance for Xbox 360
I understand that Infernal: Hell's Vengeance is a port of a PC game from a rather new developer but if they had a larger development budget and more time to do play testing they could have developed new controls and made a more appetizing game for the American gaming public. There was a point w...

Review: Guitar Hero Wireless Drum Kit for Xbox 360
Since I've had so much fun with Guitar Hero: Metallica that I wanted to get a drum controller and take a shot at drumming again. I looked for the Rock Band 2 Wireless Drums for Xbox 360 and they were completely sold out in Kitsap county as well as online.

Review: Guitar Hero : Metallica for Xbox 360
I know that these games are pure musical fantasy but the whole point of video games is to have fun and this was hands down a metal up your arse video game experience. This was the best Guitar Hero game since Guitar Hero II and I hope that future games take advantage of being this focused. Rather th...

Review: Dead Rising Chop Til: You Drop on Nintendo Wii
The biggest problem facing Dead Rising: Chop Til you Drop on the Wii is the memories that gamers who played the Xbox 360 version are so vivid that they are going to overwhelm this interpretation of the game. This was a hard review to write. I could have just savaged this game for being significa...

Review : Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for Xbox 360 and PS3
There is no online multiplayer over Xbox Live but there is in room multiplayer with another player. Granted Backbone did make the online multiplayer on the Xbox Live Arcade release of Golden Axe and Streets of Rage 2 I decided that it was to tall of an order to expect online multiplayer over X...

Review : Halo Wars for Xbox 360
This is probably as close as we are going to get to a Halo movie until Halo IV. Of course nothing is announced yet but you know that Microsoft is going to eventually make a Halo IV with their new not so secret Spawnpoint studio project that is probably headed by Frankie formerly of Bungie. That is...

Opinion: Re-Downloading Xbox Marketplace Took Two Hours of My Life that I Will Never Get Back
Since I got my new Jasper motherboard Xbox 360 I could only access Xbox Live Arcade Games that I've purchased and extra downloaded content when it was connected to Xbox Live. I tried to transfer the licenses using the online DRM transfer tool and I still had the files on my 120 Gig hard drive th...
Review : Street Fighter IV Fightpad for Xbox 360 and PS3
I like this pad more than the Sega Saturn and NeoGeo gamepad and that is saying a lot. This is as good as the likes of Hori. The Xbox 360 needed this gamepad at system LAUNCH. I will never ever play a fighting game using the Xbox 360 controller ever again now that I have this bad sucka.

Opinion: Getting a Xbox 360 Arcade for a Media Extender
So I am going to get a Xbox 360 Arcade to use as a media extender/video player. They are only $199 and they come with another wireless controller and some games. The Xbox 360 unit it self is not that expensive any more and the real cost is all the money you spend on games and accessories.
Review: Afro Samurai for Xbox 360
The music is infused hip hop beats with Japanese themes created by or supervised by the RZA. The game has some top notch dialog and voice acting with most of the cast of the anime. The quality of the dialog helps making you care about the plot and the music sets the bar pretty darn high for origina...

Review : Lord of the Rings: Conquest for Xbox 360
There was some graphical glitches such as path finding problems, collision problems and occasionally you will see fighters standing off on invisible platforms. Some of the environments looked great while there were a few parts where the level of detail in the textures made it look more l...

Review : Dance Dance Revolution UNIVERSE 3 for Xbox 360
This is a home port of Konami's latest DDR arcade game and as well as having super trippy happy graphics there are some music videos from the original artists. The dancing anime characters looked great. The motion graphics for the songs are a real treat and remind me of Saul Bass at an all-nigh...

Opinion: What an HDMI PC Xbox 360 Audio Routing Pain in the neck!?
Today I got an HDMI cable to hook up my Xbox 360 to the Samsung LCD monitor that I am using with my Mac Mini. The Mac Mini is hooked up using DVI and leaving the HDMI port free for my Falcon Xbox 360. I had quite a time working out the best way hook up the audio to my Sony SRS D21X PC computer speakers.

Opinion: New Xbox 360 Experience Exclusive Hands-On with Xbox's Aaron Greenberg
The NXE is going to be much peppier if you have a hard drive since it can pre-cache data but it will work on an Xbox 360 that has a 256 meg memory unit like the Xbox Arcade SKU. If you really want to get the most of your Xbox 360 and the Xbox Live network then you really owe it to yourself to get a hard dri...

They might include the...

Opinion: Buying a Used Xbox 360 is Worse than Used Underwear
I have two side tangents, when getting a used game made darn sure there are no stickers of any kind on the disk. That the same for any game system and they can put unreasonable stress on both the drive by unbalancing the spinning disk. Also Microsoft cutting the price of the Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive...
