I remember when the the original Xbox came out. I was 15 when it was announced and essentially did a proposal for my parents on why they should buy it for me. Must have worked because I got it for Christmas (I was 16 by then). When the Xbox 360 came out, I waited until the very last minute before…
Yesterday I beat The Force Unleashed for Xbox 360. This was a game I had been looking forward to as a Star Wars fan and as a programmer. A few months ago I saw the type of work they were doing to make this world seem more realistic- better physics engines, smarter AI, etc.- and got pretty excited to see…
It’s actually pretty surprising I haven’t written about this game sooner considering I got it over Thanksgiving break and have been completely obsessed with it. However, I have been busy with school and the business, and a new project I recently launched. But now that I do have some time (thank God for the holidays), I’d like to take a…
Halo 3 was the most anticipated game of the year, and quite frankly in a very long time. The Halo franchise has done to the video game industry what only a few have done successfully. It is to video games what Star Wars is to movies. Books were written to talk about things not covered in the game and Peter…
It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed a video game. Heck, It’s been a while since I’ve played a video game. But as the school year thankfully and sadly (seeing as I’m a senior) came to an end, I found some time (and took some liberties) and decided to get and start a new game. That new game is Marvel…
I finished Gears of War recently, and it was awesome. The game was short but left room for a sequel (Halo 2 esq). After playing the campaign on single player and co-op, I’ve gotta say Co-Op is so much more fun. Running the missions with a friend gives you that extra communication/fire power that at times you really need. I’m…
One of the selling points of the Xbox 360 was free access to the Xbox Marketplace, where you could download game demos, new levels, trailers, etc. This is called the “Silver Package” on Live. Since November 22nd 2006, one year after the 360 came out, you could also download TV and Movies (available in HD as well). You use Microsoft…
Two Tuesdays ago was a pretty big day for games on the 360. Call of Duty III (CoD III), a game I was highly anticipating due to its amazing prequel, and Gears of War (GoW) came out. I happened to pick up both that week and promptly played CoD III until I got to busy to play, and then when…
While scanning the internet the other day (something I tend to do every 3 hours or so), I came across a nice little site called vNES. It is an NES emulator that runs right from the browser! It uses Java, so you will need that to use it, but that is a small price to pay for this. Select from…
I just read about this site via Ctrl-Alt-Del. It is a website that unites video game voters and helps them contact their Senators about the Family Entertainment Protection Act. Basically this act, headed up by my favorite people, Hilary Clinton and Joe Lieberman, with some help from Jack Thompson, will limit what kind of games can be created and sold….
