How to REALLY Repair Your Xbox 360
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 [...]

Saturday, February 23, 2008
Ars Technica is reporting that an M$ mole has given them some inside knowledge. The soon to be obsolete HD-DVD add-on of for the Xbox is dropping from $119.99 to $49.99. You may ask why buy now? Well, if you couple the price drop with the fact that you can get 5 free HD-DVD’s [...]

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 [...]
Continue reading...Gears of War 2: November
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 [...]

Got an email this morning from Preston Lee titled “Dear Microsoft, I hate you.” and then the above picture attached. Welcome to the club buddy and the #1 reason I only buy exclusives for the XBox.

Saturday, January 5, 2008
I wanted to play a game today with some friends and XBox Live is currently on it’s 15th day of completely bunked service that started with a DoS attack that is apparently still going on (and has been followed up by a class-action lawsuit). Navigating around XBox Live will show you pretty quickly that the service [...]

Wednesday, January 2, 2008
Chris Hunkele sent in a mini-review of his experience with Mass Effect so far and I thought it was important to share it with the group because it helped quelled the “I must have that!” fire in me. The Good Player conversation immersion very cool You select responses in conversation which ultimately effect the path of the game Defiantly [...]

Wednesday, December 19, 2007
Kotaku has the scoop (because Gameplayer AU is dead) on the Saint’s Row 2 details that have emerged as of late. For someone that really enjoyed the original and am happy to see it come back, these deets are looking nice! (Note: SR2 will be a dual-release 360/PS3): The game will be adding a full-story co-op [...]

Tuesday, December 4, 2007
We covered Ghostbusters before with a brief segment showing what the gameplay with the proton pack looks like, but IGN AU has coughed up a great preview of the game along with lots of snazzy screenshots. Word on the street is that the tech lead on Ghostbusters is really toughing just how much time they are [...]

Xbox LIVE Arcade Hits: Games like Lumines LIVE! available for less. Inside Xbox: News ticker. Enhanced online profile: Let people know, does your personality match your Zodiac sign?
