Wii In Black


Why not? Everything in black looks good. Take a look at the PlayStation. It is not by accident that the default consoles have always been black. I have to admit, white does have its appeal. Then again, it doesn’t look as bad a** as black.
Anyhow, the ubiquitous white Wii now [...]



Gamers know that Microsoft scored a “coup” of sorts by cornering the downloadable content for such hits as Grand Theft Auto IV and Fallout 3. The deal it struck with Rock Star Games and Bethesda is that DLCs for the two games will only be made available on the Xbox 360 — much to the [...]



It took Microsoft almost a year before it finally acknowledged the RROD error and announce that it is extending the warranty of the 360 to three years to address this particular problem. Unfortunately, that three year warranty is specifically just for the RROD error and not for any other errors that a 360 owner will [...]

Halo Wars Review – Xbox 360

Introduction
There aren’t too many decent RTS games on this current crop of consoles, so it was no surprise that Halo Wars was destined to make a big splash – especially with the famous franchise name in the title.

Street Fighter IV Review (Xbox 360)

If you are a 20-something, then the chances are that you’ll have played Street Fighter II as a child. You’ll remember the vivid colours, the strategic gameplay and the host of characters with a range of fighting styles. Many, many variants later and we’ve finally seen the release of Street Fighter IV. [...]



Fear Alma – again. F.E.A.R., the seminal classic shooter, revitalised a tired FPS genre with a great mix of horror, gunplay and Matrix style slow-motion action sequences that proved a huge amount of fun. F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin returns to the same formula, and doesn’t really differ too much. However, more of [...]



Xbox 360 still selling briskly

The Xbox 360 is continuing to show its steady and impressive sales for the month of November.

Reading through my previous posts, I think it is pretty apparent that I have taken Microsoft to task for the shoddy quality of the Xbox 360. I am not in any way a loyal PS3 or Wii user but with money so tight right now, I won’t spring for a console that has a more [...]

Falcon Xbox 360s still suffer from 3RL

I just had a conversation from one guy that heads one of the shifts of the customer service for the Xbox. With Microsoft bragging about the new Falcon chipset that they said will lessen, if not eliminate, the dreaded 3RL errors that basically turn your Xbox 360 to a paperweight. I already have both the [...]

This rumor has been circulating for the last few months especially after HD-DVD’s defeat in the format wars, the losing format being backed by Microsoft.

Rock Band Stage Kit for Xbox 360

I consider myself a hardcore Rock Band/Guitar Hero player. It’s gotten so bad that it’s the only game I play all week. I haven’t even removed the shrink wrap from my copy of GTAIV.
But apparently, there are players out there that are more hardcore than I am. These are the players who actually build minature [...]
