Personal gaming journal #5

It’s been a really long time since I did any updates on the games I enjoy playing, so I’ll just give a quick synopsis of where I’m getting my feet wet again.  That is to say, I’m going a little retro lately, digging out some of my older 360 games, and even a much older [...]

E3 2009: Microsoft Impressions

Since I own a 360 myself (and still waiting for Sony to drop their price), I was really looking forward to what on tap from Microsoft.  In today’s climate of financial skepticism, shovelware (Wii), and over-hype with little delivery, one has to be very careful in picking and choosing were one is going to drop [...]

Army of Two sequel announced

EA has announced an upcoming sequel to last years co-op bad-boy romp, Army of Two. 
Army of Two: The 40th Day will reunite players with both Salem and Rios this winter (2009) will find our troublesome twosome amid chaotic events in Shanghai. 
Electronic Arts’ Montreal branch is developing the game for XBox 360, PS3 and PSP platforms [...]

Legends of Wrestlemania: Reliving my youth in demo mode.

So I admit and I’m not ashamed that I ‘was’ a big professional wrestling fan.  I say ‘was’ as I really do think the story lines, characters, and mystique of the over-the-top personalities was at their best during the mid 80’s throughout the late 90’s.
While there are indeed some great personalities today (Kurt Angle, Christian [...]

 - Mass Effect 2 has been announced for an early 2010 date across multiple platforms (guessing that means XBox 360, PS3, and PC)
- Some 1000+ jobs will be cut including the closure of 12 facilities [...]

Personal gaming journal #4

It’s been a while since I did one of these.  Not sure why I’ve been saving this up for so long, or if you’re really interested in it or not, but the last few days I just find myself acting as excited as a giddy little school girl who just doesn’t have enough time to [...]

XBox 360 ‘Starter Kit’ announced

It has been announced that an entry level XBox 360 ‘Starter Kit’ will soon be released, most likely mid-November to take advantage of the new XBox Experience dropping on November 19th, 2008 and gearing up for holiday sales.
This entry level kit will include a 60GB HD XBox 360 as well as a ‘wired’ headset, a [...]

An onslaught of titles for the 360

Whew….
It seems a damn busy time in the realm of console games for personal consumption over the next few weeks.  With so many A & B titles being released for my 360, I have no idea on which ones to grab first.  With the average price being $60 each to, I really have to be [...]
