Apparently, there is a new category in the in the Xbox Live Arcade, “Camera-Enabled Games.” There is one game already available for download, Uno. How exactly is Uno a camera-enabled game? Dunno.

The first free Xbox Live Gold weekend has come and gone. How would you like some more? Well, we at BostonGeek want to give one of you just that: 3 Months of Xbox Live Gold. We understand that having tasted the sweet, non-laggy goodness that is online gaming over Xbox Live [...]

First free Gold weekend!

Some of you may own an Xbox 360, but still have yet to commit to the Live experience by subscribing to Xbox Live Gold.  I suppose I can forgive you.  However, much like a crack dealer hands out the occasional free rock, Microsoft is holding a Free Xbox Live Gold Weekend at the end of [...]

Is HBO a DRM whore?

Well, Colin said I should write more original material, so I haven’t posted all week.  See?  That’s what you get.
But last night something happened that actually gave me material to write.  I was watching TV with my fiancee and noticed that Real Time with Bill Maher was on HBO.  The show’s been on break for [...]

The Chilling of the 360

Okay, the XBOX 360 launched in Japan to a tepid reception. Only about 40% of the initial shipment has sold so far. That’s a bloody shame, but not unexpected, really.
You might ask why the Japanese seem to shun the console we’re adoring. One of the answers is, of course, loyalty. Just [...]

Xbox 360 Dashboard

The Xbox 360 Dashboard could be the thing that I like most about the new Xbox 360 gaming console. For those of you that do not know, the dashboard is a menu that is accessible by pushing the Xbox 360 Guide button on your game controller or media remote. Upon depressing the button, [...]

Gamercard.

So, MS has provided a nice and neat way to incude your Gamercard on your website:
Edit: Figured I would throw Carl’s up here as well… Don your tinfoil hat, Carl!
Edit: And, now Dave has a Gamercard… although, he doesn’t yet have an Xbox 360.

Marvel fans… rejoice!

An interesting article over at 1UP. Sigil is developing an MMO with Marvel.
Marvel MMO To Be Developed By Sigil
The coolest aspect? It will be released for both PC and XBOX 360. And be cross-platform. This means that people playing on the 360 will be able to play with people playing on [...]

The New XBOX Live… Friends or Foes?

So, the new XBOX Live allows people to see what game you most recently played, and when the last time you logged on was. And I don’t mean the last time you competed. The last time you logged on. To your XBOX (well, the 360 at least).
Because most Live-enabled games [...]

360 Degrees of Separation

I have seen the top of the mountain, and it is good.
My XBOX 360 shipped this afternoon. I should have it in my hands by Monday or Tuesday.
Thanks to Colin for getting me in on a few that were in stock at an online retailer. They sold out within 22 minutes, and I [...]

It’s one day after launch…

And some turd-burgling assclowns are already profiteering on eBay. At last check, bids were up to over $5000 on certain Premium Bundles with two games. I won’t link to it because I’m not sure what the legal niceties are. Just go to eBay and search for ‘Xbox 360.’
No, I didn’t add [...]

It’s 1 day after launch…

… and I don’t have an Xbox 360.
Oh cruel world.

Xbox 360 for how much?

Ok, what kind of asshole pays $1000 for an Xbox 360?
Maybe the same kind who would buy one for me? Please?
