Infinite Undiscovery (Xbox 360) »
by Evan A. You would think there would be an ending point for discovery. The people at Tri-Ace destroy that thought with Infinite Undiscovery. This game is an action RPG. It was released in the year 2008. My Dad calls it an oldie, but a goodie. And in reality, it was pretty good. There were definitely [...]
Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Conspiracy (XBox 360) »
by Evan A. For the last few years, Christmas has started a little early at our house. In order to inject some fun into it, and not have all the wrapping obliterated off of presents in a matter of minutes Christmas morning, my dad started hiding presents before Christmas and making us look for them, [...]
Madden NFL 09 (Xbox 360) »
by Trevor A. This year’s addition of the Madden football franchise has Brett Favre as the cover athlete. It is also the 20th annual installment of the series, with the first coming in 1988 on Commodore 64, Commodore 128, and the Apple II, simply entitled “John Madden Football.” Because of the NFL and the Players [...]
Rock Band Drum Silencers »
by Trevor A. Since the first installment in the Rock Band series, numerous people have made modifications to their drum set, as proven by videos on YouTube. Harmonix probably heard the cries of many parents, and most likely neighbors, and decided to release official drum silencers. These drum pad silencers can go with any console [...]
XBox 360 Elite freezing up (Update No. 4) »
By Glen A. I was wrong about the arrival date. After the UPS tracking number started working, it turned out to be a delivery date for Wednesday, September 24 instead of Monday, September 22. Something I should mention here is that the Xbox repair site I was monitoring the status of my repair on updated [...]
XBox 360 Elite freezing up (Update No. 3) »
by Glen A. Okay, I just checked the Xbox online service page again, and they’ve changed my warranty details. The begin date is back to what it was originally, but the end date has been extended three months through mid-December. I guess that’s a 90-day guarantee. When I click on the UPS tracking number, it [...]
Xbox 360 Elite freezing up (Update No. 2) »
by Glen A. On Monday of this week, my Xbox Elite finally reached the repair center in Mesquite, Texas. I watched for its arrival all day Monday via UPS tracking, but it showed it out for delivery. Somewhere around 8 pm, my time, the status changed to a 4 pm delivery. Sometime overnight, the Xbox [...]
Xbox 360 Elite freezing up (Update No. 1) »
by Glen A. Okay, as promised, an update on the repairing of my Xbox 360 Elite. The free shipping box arrived via UPS on Monday. It came packed with a page of instructions, two foam pieces, a plastic bag, and some tape. I had to open up the box, insert just my console into the [...]
Xbox 360 Elite freezing up »
by Glen A. Apparently, it’s inevitable. Death, taxes and now, the Xbox 360 going on the fritz. I know many others have had some sort of problem with their Xbox 360. I know it’s been going on since the first Xbox 360s rolled off of the assembly line and landed in the hands of consumers, [...]
Band Set Peripherals (PS3, Xbox 360) »
by Trevor A. Last holiday sesaon, Guitar Hero III and Rock Band came out practically side by side in the U.S. (Guitar Hero III in October for Xbox 360, PlayStaiton 3, PlayStation 2, Nintendo Wii and Rock Band in November for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 2), but a problem arose. For the Xbox [...]
NCAA Football ’09 (Xbox 360) »
by Trevor A. College Football begins in a couple weeks, and what better way to keep yourself occupied (and even have your favorite team win a BCS National Championship) than playing EA Sports’ NCAA Football 09? Each console has their own cover athlete. On the Xbox 360, former Arkansas running back Darren McFadden is on [...]
NCAA 2008 »
By Evan A. This recent Christmas all I wanted was one thing from my parents: NCAA Football 2008 by EA Sports. We had just recently gotten an XBox 360 so I wanted it for that console. Now when I played ’07 last year, I was far from impressed. I found ’07 kind of ugly and [...]
Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground (360) »
By Trevor A. I haven’t owned a Tony Hawk game since Pro Skater 3, so I haven’t been into the game that much, except for the reviews and other news I have read about the games that have been coming out. They have changed where you skate drastically, as they have made it more open [...]
Stuntman: Ignition (Xbox 360) »
By Evan A. Stuntman: Ignition came out for the Xbox 360 on September 17, 2008. At first, stuntman came out for the PS2 and was pretty cool except that it took forever for it to load up. In this newest version the load time is bearable and it’s cool because during the load the stunt [...]
Spider-Man 3 (Xbox 360) »
By Trevor A. I’m a big Spider-Man fan, so it was kind of expected that I would want the latest version of the game, Spider-Man 3. You do have to go in cautiously, since movie games generally are awful. The last two Spider-Man spin-offs have been good, though, especially with the new feature in Spider-Man [...]
Halo 3 (XBox 360) »
By Glen A. It’s out. The most anticipated game of 2007 has hit the stores. When I bought our Xbox 360s (yes, I waited until now to do it), I preordered a couple of copies of Halo 3. Ten days later, I picked them up and then went to work on the campaign. It didn’t [...]
Madden 2008 (Xbox 360) »
By Glen A. It’s been a while since I played the Madden series. My boys play it regularly, along with NCAA football, but I’ve not touched either game for several months. It might even be longer than that, to tell you the truth. There are some games that I will play campaign mode on–or in [...]
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (XBox 360) »
By Glen A. I’m a novice when it comes to war games. I’m aware of the Call of Duty series and some other things. I guess Halo 3 is a war game, too, but it’s not nearly as strategic and does not offer opportunities to manipulate multiple men. That’s probably why I like it so [...]
Xbox 360 20GB console »
By Glen A. As I mentioned in an earlier post (Xbox 360 Elite, see below), I bought two 360s, one for upstairs and one for downstairs. Aside from allowing the boys to play what they want on one while I play on the other, we do frequently use system link to play Halo multi-player. Playing [...]
Xbox 360 accessories »
By Glen A. In the post about the Xbox 360 Elite (see below), I mentioned a couple of accessories that I got with it. I bought two wireless controllers ($49.99 each), two play and charge kits ($19.99 each) and two rechargeable battery packs ($14.99 each). The controllers are the ones made by Microsoft, not a [...]
XBox 360 120GB Elite (Black) »
The next thing you’ll notice when you turn it on is that its loud. In a confined space, it is very loud…
