Support for Origional Xbox Ends March 2
When I came across the news that support for the origional Xbox ends next week I was actually quite surprised. I thought Microsoft stopped supporting them quite a while back. Apparently not though. On March 2 2009, Microsoft will stop offering repair services for the original Xbox console. If you have an origional Xbox that [...]

As Red Faction: Guerrilla get’s alittle closer to release, THQ has opened up their multiplayer beta test to anyone lucky enough to get a key.

Wednesday, May 7, 2008
This is an excellent tip, and having gone through the Microsoft Xbox support channel twice (Xbox support disaster #1, Xbox terrible support #2 and a friend) and wanting to die before I do it again, a very applicable point (oh yea, and also cause their hardware has a 30% failure rate). 1. Call 1-800-4-MY-XBOX 2. Demand your [...]

Wednesday, February 20, 2008
As a follow up to the super-Co-Op that Fable 2 will have in it, I watched the GDC walkthroughs and am here to summarize them for you: NOTE: I am not clear from the walkthrough if the co-op is online or offline only. He talks a lot about the “camera” and how it manages to keep [...]

Wednesday, February 20, 2008
Good lord… it’s like Molyneux dug into my brain, found my fantasies, removed all the perverted ones, and decided to design an RPG that makes me cry tears of healing. What am I talking about? Fable 2 is going to not only be completely co-op-able with a friend, it’s also going to be a persistent co-op [...]

Wednesday, February 20, 2008
Well it looks like Chris Hunkele was right, Gears of War 2 is coming and the seed came out of GDC as expected. It’s looking like a November release, Xbox 360 exclusive, will graphically push the Xbox fairly hard, and as a result, we will all have RRoDs to deal with right after launch. Ohhhhhh BURN Update [...]

Tuesday, February 12, 2008
Update #1: Laurence Hartje, having gone through this process, set the record straight down in the comments. Things aren’t as bad as originally thought. Microsoft’s Xbox DRM will lock you out of your own content if you get your red-ringed Xbox replaced. I bolded that sentence, to give you something to chew on. If you got your Xbox [...]

Tuesday, January 15, 2008
Laurence Hartje sends in the scoop that Duke Nukem 3D is in fact rumored (see what I just did there? You might want to mull it over, cause I may have just blown your mind) to be coming to XBox Live Arcade in the next few months. Interesting stats are included multiplayer with a 4-player-coop [...]
