Xbox 360 Review: Mirrors Edge

Mirror’s Edge is a concept and an experience. It can’t be a game since it fails in terms of nearly every mechanic it gives the player. It’s an impressive showcase of high style and art, though not much else. The cinematics here are amazing, and it’s a shame the entire game doesn’t share the same [...]

New Pinball FX DLC Celebrates Street Fighter II

On November 12th, the game will be graced with a new table, this one designed around Street Fighter II. Not only does it have dot-matrix visuals based [...]

Ah, the Xbox Live Call Out List. What a fun piece of writing. However, through the time it’s been done, things have stood out that need changing. Don’t worry, we’ll still be calling out those fools who try to make Xbox Live a miserable place. However, the scope needs to be more limited for a [...]

Fable II Co-op Not at Launch, But Then Again Maybe it Will Be

Fable II fans were disappointed to hear that the co-op mode for the game wasn’t going to make launch. Instead, it was going to be a later patch that would make the whole thing work. Well, now it turns out that patch could potentially be available on launch day anyway. Peter Molyneux apparently stated during [...]
