Another Halo 3 Rumor

When Halo 3 ships in September, DLC will be released for Crackdown that lets you play as Spartans against the Covenant. And, all the vehicles will be turned into, I don’t know, Warthogs or some stupid shit.
You see, this is what happens when no-one reads your blog. There’s no real sense of responsibility.
At least I’m […]


The Darkness Xbox 360 Review

This game sucks. This is actually a First Person Light-bulb Shooter, & when you’re not shooting light bulbs you’re either wandering around lost or watching cut-scenes of the world’s word’s worst actors auditioning for The Sopranos 2: Welcome to Suckville.
The much hyped Darkness powers would be ok to use if it didn’t always […]


Halo 3 Rumor of the Day

-After the last cut scene, the Master Chief takes off his helmet. If you are connected to Xbox Live & have a MySpace or Facebook account, your photo ( on either of those sites ) will be mapped over the Master Chief’s!

Street Fighter 2

-Throws which take off half your life.
-Only 2 good […]


The Darkness ships

I just picked up The Darkness for the 360 - full review to follow.

Since the release of Halo 3 is just a few months away, it gives me a chance to reminisce about my favorite part of Halo 2 - Brutes!
“Oh, look, a monkey - everyone loves monkeys, they’re cool. Hey, there’s an interesting gameplay feature -no matter how many times I shoot his head, he doesn’t die. […]


Micro-transactions

“Well, I’m basically enjoying Oblivion, but I don’t know, somethings missing…oh, I know, my imaginary horse doesn’t have any armor. Here’s $5 for Microsoft, and…there, that’s perfect. Now I can really enjoy this game - except, hum, I wonder what other great stuff I can buy for my virtual pet. Like a hat & tie, […]


Retro-Gaming Pigpile

Why are so many of us playing antique games on our new systems?
If I allowed auto-downloads on my 360, I would already have 500 demos of games I would normally need a broken 360 to actually make me consider playing. But I do play them, even the editors at 1up are playing them ( they […]
