Nov 8th 04: “I never thought I’d have broadband… Can you say XBox LIVE! Jay, Steven, fire up the controllers…”
April 10th 07: “Rob, are you ready?”
This week he finally got his Xbox LIVE account and tonight we got into some games together online. Not only did I get to introduce Rob to some of my […]
“Hey dude, got your pre-order receipt?”
“You didn’t pre-order? Other line, man.”
The people were friendly and polite, and the GameStop employees had obviously figured out a reasonably good system; had the lines moving right along once the clock struck midnight. I ran into a few guys I knew from the band, so I wasn’t “alone” in […]
Gamers everywhere are counting down the final hours to the final release of Halo 3. Tonight’s midnight release may very well be the most-hyped event yet in video game history, with tie-in marking from every angle from action figures to caffeinated drinks.
I’ve heard that Bungie and the XBOX LIVE team expect the cumulative time […]
As we’ve been playing, I’ve been making notes and talking to others in our forums. Here are some random thoughts, mine mixed with other early players’…
The three maps we’ve been given so far are more fun than the proverbial barrel of monkeys. I’m glad they went with asymmetrical playgrounds without any echoes of Warlock […]
A few of you with sharp eyes have noticed, while playing on XBox Live, that there are a bunch of us playing Halo 3 already. “Hey, the public beta’s not supposed to start yet,” I can hear you shouting. Well, ok, it’s really just that I can read the emails and XBL messages you’re sending me, […]
I was asked in one of the gamer forums to write about Guitar Hero II for the Xbox 360 (and PS2, I suppose, since the games are extremely similar), and in particular if it’s appropriate for kids.
At it’s core, Guitar Hero is a rythm or coordination game, much like some of the games in Fusion Frenzy. The […]
Nov 2nd: “THE Game is Now Pre-Orderable.”
today, Posted by Frankie on Bungie.net: “The Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta will go live on May 16th at 12:00 AM PDT”
Oh man, maybe it’s time to go buy a copy of Crackdown.
Rob, are you ready?
“No matter where you are in your career, you can listen to people, support them, show compassion.”
Tim Sanders wrote that several years ago in one of my favorite business books, Love is the Killer App. As you might imagine, he’s collected many stories since then about situations where people have made the time to make […]
Mr. “Modeps” James is having trouble with PC Gaming:
It’s now been a few days of trying to get this stupid game to run. I’ve updated drivers, reinstalled the whole steam client, shut off anything that was running in the background that didn’t need to be… and just nothing works.
That was exactly the case in our […]
I know, I know - I decided on Splinter Cell:Double Agent over Gears of War and other games. But this past week I rented and as my XBox 360’s Blog points out I’ve been playing Gears of War with my sons and online friends, and I’m impressed. Graphics, story, music and sounds, and especially the […]
I made my decision. Between Splinter Cell:Double Agent, Rainbow 6 Vegas, and Gears of War I was torn, but then I picked up Splinter Cell: Double Agent for my son and had a few days to play it before he came home from college that weekend. When he got home I told him he had […]
Pre-orders begin today for HALO 3. Three packages: $59.99, $69.99, $99.99.
1Up: The ‘Real’ Facts.
Actualmente Xbox.com está en proceso de actualización.
Estaremos de regreso próximamente con toda la información que necesitas sobre Xbox, Xbox 360, y tus juegos favoritos.
No, no, no… definately not dead, just resting and recharging for bigger and better community gaming action starting soon.
I knew this existed, and had used it several weeks ago thanks to Major Nelson pointing it out in one of his interviews, but then lost the pointer. 360Leaderboards has a way, albeit just a little complicated, to get a list of all the 360 games that your friends have played. Isn’t that pretty cool […]
If you have an Xbox 360 but aren’t yet signed up with Xbox LIVE, today’s the day (yes, Rob, this means you). Today’s the day to get your butt back home, plug that network cable in and get signed up. At least get signed up with a Silver membership.
Why today? Easy - to get […]
I was trying to explain my Xbox 360’s weblog the other day to someone who insisted that “computer’s don’t think” and kept asking “so who’s really writing that?”
I told PirateT7 ‘Don’t make me hurt you!’ and the threat worked…
I finally came up with the right explanation: It’s a computerized version of MadLibs.
Oh my goodness - as if you didn’t need one, here’s the reason to be looking for an Xbox 360. Major Nelson just broke the news of an upcoming game to be added to the Xbox Live Arcade… none other than Crystal Quest!
For those who might not remember, or who weren’t fortunate enough to have […]
PirateT7I haven’t played much Xbox recently; we’ve been busy and it doesn’t help that the good TV’s out of commission. I’m looking forward to Xbox 360, though we may not get one the first week or two of release - we didn’t pre-order.
There are rumors that even those who did pre-order may not get theirs […]
Well, if you care at all about the upcoming Xbox 360, you’ve probably already seen the news but here it is anyway: $399. Console, wireless controller, detachable hard disk, headset, remote control and cables.
Oh yea, and there’s also a lower-cost option, the Xbox 360 Core System, but get real - why bother?
It’s not just the […]
As Rob and others have pointed out, there are rumors that XBox 2 won’t be backwards-compatible - that it won’t play games from the original. If this is true, would be a immensely stupid mistake.
If none of my old games will work, and I’ve got to start over when I get a new console, what’s […]
