This industry makes me laugh sometimes. And I'm not talking about the way that Pat Sajak game made me lulz either.

The way I see the FPS market is that there are only three franchises worth that $60 kick in the nuts: Halo, COD and Gears. What sets these titles apart from the rest (ehmmm R6V), is that the controls are totally crisp. If you don't have this, your game is ...

Emergence holes that can take out a whole city? I wonder what types of grenades you'll need to close them up. What I am "digging" Senior Cliffy, are these new single shot weapons that seem to be more accurate than the chainsaw; I could never aim with that piece of ...

The verdict: Star Wars just makes everything that much sweeter. I'm in quite a dilemma having both 360 and the PS3. The problem starts when I'm forced to decide between the notorious gamerscore perk versus an enticing tandem of playing as Darth Vader, all the while being able to control ...

Yes, I KNOW HD DVD is "dead." Microsoft is stopping manufacturing this drive, and there wont be many more releases. But come on, it's $50! That comes with King Kong on HD DVD, the full 360 Media Remote, and 5 more HD DVDs after rebate. There are still hundreds of ...

Remember all the hoopla about XNA and the Creators Club, which would let you build and deploy games directly to your 360 console? It sounded wonderful, but the $100 annual subscription was a gotcha for most who just wanted to tinker around. Not anymore. College students can now get a ...

I don't quite understand Microsoft's strategy behind this whole "play original Xbox titles on your 360." And now this no Achievement business?
According to Major Nelson's page...
These are the original games that were created before Xbox 360. In order to preserve the integrity of the original gaming experience they provide, ...
