Geezers on Pwnd Radio in Detroit, this Sunday

Unreal Tournament III Review

                         "like Gears of War on crack and steroids"

   I need to preface this review in several ways so let me begin with a disclaimer:

   I sithlord77, am easily impressed by awesome graphics violence and fast paced game-play. I also admit to having been victim to the honeymoon factor on several games recently (GTA4 for example). I am also an unabashed Gears-of-war addict, I've been going to meetings but they haven't helped.

Clan LMB Gathering 2008

Clan LMB is a group of about thirty adults spread across the United States that play games together over XBOX Live. Two years ago we decided to all meet together face to face in San Antonio. It went really well and the decision was made to plan a second "Gathering," this time in the Midwest.

Warlords Review

So typically, a review of an old Atari Arcade game ported over to Xbox Live goes something like this: “Old gameplay is pretty good. New 'enhanced' version is actually a step backward.” Well, not this time.

Penny Arcade Adventures: Episode One - Review

I want to begin this review with a full disclosure: I'm really not the biggest fan of the Penny Arcade comic strip. I read it, but not religiously. Every few weeks or few months I'll remember that I haven't checked it out lately, and I head back to dig through the recent archives for the strips that I've missed. Then, newly up to date again, I'll ignore the site for another few weeks or months.

Lost Cities for XBL Arcade

Before I got a 360, when I wanted to play a game but wasn't in the mood for anything that was too involved or required attention or coordination or motor skills, I played computer solitaire. The variation I played was called Spider, and I played I think 70,000 or so games over several years before my hard drive died. Fortunately, the XBox Live Arcade has stepped in to fill the gaping hole in my gaming life that Spider left behind.

Astro A40 Audio System � First Impressions

I received my Astro A40 Audio System (Mixer & Headphone set) in the mail Thursday evening and was able to try it out over the weekend. I’m no audiophile, so I can’t really compare these to any other headset and I don’t know anything about dB or frequencies or equalizer adjustment, so you’ll just have to bear with me.

Top Ten Features All New Xbox Games Should Include

These are just some ideas I've had about game features that I wish every game developer would just include, almost by default. Some may not apply to every gametype, and some are totally unrealistic for every game to include. But my point is that (and this is just my opinion) developers owe more to their fans than just simply delivering a game. If a developer looked at their game from a fanboy perspective, instead of what they can include or cut to make budget and/or release date, then I think the games delivered as a whole could really be elevated to new levels.

So here are my opinions on must-have features, and again, these are just my thoughts. Feel free to respond with your own...
