Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Map Pack $15
Ridiculous. Back when the first string of maps for mutliplayer games first kicked off on Xbox Live, people screamed that $10 was too much. Those who followed the Ghost Recon saga remember that mess well as UbiSoft began the trend of pricing that has come standard. Now, Activision has taken it a step up. Realizing they [...]

Wednesday, March 3, 2010
A single release to kick off the XBLA Block Party promotion… and it’s a good one. Toy Soldiers A tower defense game with a wonderful 1930s flair, the quirk here is you can drop onto the battlefield and actually control your units, instead of sitting back helplessly watching them fire at the wrong enemy. It takes a [...]

Wednesday, February 24, 2010
The first triple decker of 2009 marks this weeks releases, and they’re not half bad. Lazy Raiders Quite a bit of fun, this simple maze/collectible title has the player using only the A button and the left analog. The idea is quite simple, to move an explorer (or your avatar) around a map by spinning it, as [...]

Wednesday, February 24, 2010
Even though some of us made it into the mob this season on 1 vs 100 (and then Seinfeld trivia knocked them out… jerks), some people actually knew the answer to those questions and won stuff. It seems not everyone is getting their prizes, or there is confusion. Joystiq contacted Microsoft and asked for details on [...]

Wednesday, February 17, 2010

Continue reading...Original Xbox DLC Back Up
Thursday, February 11, 2010
Chalk this one to a simple “whoops” on the part of Microsoft. Last week, when the company announced that Xbox Live for the original Xbox was going down in flames for good, all of the DLC vanished, and Halo 2 was no longer playable for some. The good news is that someone flipped a switch, and [...]

Wednesday, February 10, 2010
Another solo release week, a pattern so in 2010 with only exception. Darwinia+ A popular indie PC game for sometime, it is not hard to see why. This is a uniquely beautiful title, an odd mixture of dual analog shooter and RTS. The goal is to destroy a virus, pick up the “souls,” turn them into Darwinians, [...]

Saturday, February 6, 2010
Microsoft has already started breaking down Xbox Live for original Xbox owners, starting with the removal of all DLC from the service. The problem is that DLC is required for all Halo 2 playlists, so those that signed on for a few games today can no longer access required DLC. So, if someone replaced their hard [...]

Friday, February 5, 2010
One of the benefits of Xbox Live is the ability to always be online. With the exception of a few companies who demanded their own servers (EA specifically), all Xbox Live games remain online and running. As of April 15th, that is no longer the case. That’s right folks, as of April 15th, 2010, all Xbox 1 [...]

Wednesday, January 13, 2010
Another week, another lone, solitary release. This time, 1200 point remake of a PC classic FPS. Serious Sam HD – The First Encounter Serious Sam returns in this remake of the original, a game that took shooters forward in terms of their insanity levels. Sam crams countless, utterly absurd enemies on-screen at any given time, tough for [...]

Friday, January 8, 2010
At CES, Microsoft revealed the Xbox Game Room, where friends could replicate the arcade experience, only with Avatars. The free download (for Xbox Live Gold users) allows players to have their own arcade, but of course, the games are anything but free. Since this is a service being offered for the PC and Xbox Live, 400 [...]
