This year I upgraded my Xbox360’s hard-drive. I decided to get one of the big ones so I could transfer games to it and cut down on load times and hopefully, spare the DVD drive from an early death due to all the thrashing. I loaded up a bunch of games and everything was good.
Then [...]
Greetings. It is a somewhat cloudy, drizzly Saturday in Moncton. A perfect afternoon to sit around and play video games, if that’s the kind of thing you do. Or blog about them, if you’re me.
There’ve been a bunch of big game releases in the last few weeks for the Xbox360. The long-awaited Gears of War [...]
I went out last weekend and did a little video-game shopping. While I occasionally punctuate breaks in Halo3 with bouts of Rock Band, I do sometimes crave more singular adventures. So I rifled through the cheap bin at the local EB and picked up Dark Messiah Might and Magic Elements for $29.99.

Remember when the Xbox 360 first came out? Remember how excited you were about the cool new interface? It looked so next-generation with all those panels whizzing around. I believe there were even a few people who said, “I can’t believe this is a Microsoft product it’s soo good”.

Well, sort of. We were still having some issues with it last night, but prod and I were able to sign in (and stay signed in) until the wee small hours playing Halo. I made it to level 30 in Team Doubles!
So, thanks Major Nelson and the hard-working team(s) at Microsoft’s super-sekrit Xbox LIVE Server [...]
Got back from the East last night after a harrowing drive through wintery conditions to settle into my couch for some much-needed Xboxing with my homeys. Prod and I managed to play a couple games of Virtua Fighter 5 before getting unceremoniously dropped from Xbox Live. At first I figured it was local network problems [...]
This year, especially the latter half of it has been a big one for gamers. Halo 3 made its long-awaited appearance on the Xbox 360. Bioshock was a bit of a surprise hit with its grim, art deco design and creepy atmosphere. Mass Effect from BioWare is a great scifi RPG. Call of Duty 4 [...]
