I know…this blog looks like it’s turning into the Halo blog. But damn…can you blame me? I arrived home yesterday to find a nice surprise on my doorstep, one of those new swanky Halo 3 Zunes. The packaging is all decked out Halo style, and the Zune itself is packed nicely in it’s little box. [...]
Halo 2 for Vista Look ma, no popins! An interesting thing happens when reviewing a two and a half-year old game. The first thing you realize is two and a half years isn’t quite long enough for that game to fall into the retro category. The second thing you realize is that two and a [...]
So what have I been playing? Well I’m about halfway through Bulletwitch, which I did a review of for Evil Avatar. It’s very average, but does have some redeeming qualities.

During a recent discussion over at the Avatar, Mark Rein (Epic Games Vice-President) hinted that we could be seeing user created content on the XBox 360. But let’s not forget we always said UT3 was coming to PC. Part of what makes the Unreal Tournament games great is the amazing variety and quality of user-created [...]
Those jokers at Lionhead have turned community hype into a funny joke. Silly silly Lionhead. They show off the very first ever screenshot of Fable 2, which happens to be a big yellow square, and then show the ever popular crotch cam, followed by the one and only first screen with textrues. Lionhead Studios News [...]
It’s been a problem since day one with the XBox 360, the dreaded red ring of death. I personally knew numerous people, more than I can count on both hands and feet, that had the same issue. Myself I’ve been lucky. I receive my console from Microsoft a full week before launch, it came shipped [...]
