A few weeks ago after the Xbox 360 Dashboard update was released and the Video Marketplace announced, I wrote about how streaming WMV was the answer to Microsoft’s hard drive problems. Well, it seems as if I won’t win this one, at least in the short term. Microsoft has already stated the Video Marketplace won’t [...]

Shilling for Oil – The Return of Shillville
As I am patiently waiting to be (hopefully) awarded my free game, I wanted to take this opportunity to spin a yarn about the day I switched to Firefox, and how I was able to lend my hand toward Free Download Manager‘s world domination. And yes, how I sold out, although I’m technically not getting [...]
Gunpey – Seeing Shapes Like the First Time
Among the trifecta of PSP puzzle games from Q Entertainment, Gunpey probably garnered the least pre-release hype. Lumines II was the obvious attention-grabber, having been one of the surprise hits of the PSP’s catalog; and Every Extend Extra getting sloppy-seconds from its E3 2006 exposure. Yet Gunpey sat like the neglected middle child, just waiting [...]
The Xbox 360 Ate My Quarter
Let me start by saying I am a huge proponent of the Xbox Live Video Marketplace. I’ve said it needed to be done, and I applauded it when it was formally announced. I’m also an early adopter of the service, renting V for Vendetta on day one of the service. And then reality set in. [...]
PS3 = Emu
We were warned, and we all laughed. Now we are drooling at the PS3′s Trojan horse. Yes, the PS3′s hard drive can be partitioned to run multiple operating systems. And as long as an OS supports the Cell processor, the PS3 would in theory have access to a plethora of applications which would undoubtedly render [...]
Greg Canessa Must Go
Top Reasons why Greg Canessa must be replaced as General Manager for Xbox Live Arcade: Lumines – Do I even need to elaborate? $15 for demo game modes and a gimped Challenge mode (only 12 skins available with the base pack). Even though the news was leaked [link broken] months before the game was released, [...]
Thrillville – My Shillville
Yes, I am excited about LucasArts’ Thrillville for the PSP, Xbox and PS2. It has been on my watch and wish lists since it was announced because I’m dying for a decent theme park simulation for a console. I loved the original Roller Coaster Tycoon, and even though I own RCT3 and one of the [...]
My Follow-Up Letter to Sony
Dear Sony: It’s been a few months since I wrote you my first letter, and since it’s been a while since we talked I thought I’d send you an update to tell you how my (un)favorite handheld has been treating me. I vented about the unfriendly interface and functionality around video playback, and I appreciate [...]
This Space For Rent – The Xbox 360 Hard Drive
It has been recently announced the brilliant move by Microsoft to provide digital distribution of television and motion picture content to the Xbox 360. Now, I love it when I’m right, but in all modesty I was only half right. I had mentioned nearly a year ago that in order for Microsoft to win in [...]
Ah, the Joys of Responsibility…
Apologies to all my readers for not keeping up-to-date on my blog. Parenthood and my real job have gotten the best of me lately, but I promise to do better going forward. There has been a lot of great videogame news just in the past week, and with the impending launch of the PS3 and [...]
