  • Xbox LIVE Wrap-Up for March 25th, 2010

    Xbox LIVE Wrap-Up is back this week with open arms. However, it doesn’t seem like Microsoft is giving us a whole lot to work with this week. We certainly have all of the updates Xbox users have come to expect out of a week, though next week is looking like it will have a lot…

  • Review: Tomena Sanner (Nintendo Wii)

    Tomena Sanner Publisher: Konami Developer: Konami Genre: Timing-based Platformer Release Date: 02/08/2010 When I imagined that digital distribution would break down the barriers between the various regions around the world, perhaps I jumped the gun a little.

  • Xbox LIVE Wrap-Up for March 4th, 2010

    We’re in like a lion with our very first Xbox Wrap-Up for the month of March and while the week kicks off the Xbox LIVE Arcade Block Party, we actually don’t have much to work with this week. I suppose that’s for the better, though; I still have General Knoxx still taunting me from last…

  • Xbox LIVE Wrap-Up for February 18th, 2010

    I apologize for leaving everyone hanging last week, but the Xbox Wrap-Up is front and center in its punctual regularity this week and, man, do we have a lot of ground to cover today. It’s another exciting week of Xbox LIVE Arcade, Games on Demand, game add-ons, and more, but with the recent X’10 event…

  • Interview with Paul Bellezza About The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom

    The path from independent to retail is a long and selective journey, but given the resources available to aspiring developers today, we are seeing a resurgence in original ideas akin to when computer games could be written by a couple of programmers on a computer in a garage. While the advance in technology has made…

  • Preview: 2K Marin & Digital Extremes on BioShock 2

  • Xbox LIVE Wrap-Up for January 28th, 2010

    We’ve had a couple of fairly intense weeks of Xbox LIVE updates, haven’t we? As we approach the end of January, it appears the service is cooling off a little, just like it is certainly cooling off in my neck of the woods with this bothersome wind, freezing temperatures, and snow. If you don’t feel…

  • Review: Matt Hazard: Blood Bath & Beyond (Microsoft Xbox 360)

    Matt Hazard: Blood Bath & Beyond Publisher: D3Publisher Developer: Vicious Cycle Genre: 2D Run-and-Gun Release Date: 1/6/2010 It was hard for me to look at Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard when it released in early 2009.

  • Xbox LIVE Wrap-Up for January 21st, 2010

    After an explosive week last week, it looks like Microsoft is just warming up with Xbox LIVE additions and that’s certainly good news for everyone – especially for me as I wouldn’t have this dedicated space to ramble on with every week if it weren’t for these additions. We appreciate the reception we’ve received with…
