NBA 2K8 Causes The Destruction Of 2 Xbox 360 Controllers

I was chatting with my friend online and he had a story to tell.  It was not unlike a lot of his past stories with game systems.  Like when he couldn’t beat M.Bison on 8 stars and he stood up and stomped directly on top of the cartridge, while it was in the slot. It [...]

The days of the NES are coming to a close, and the bright sun rise of the SNES now shining. Just because I stopped playing the NES at that time doesn’t mean I have forgotten about it entirely. The same will happen to the SNES, PlayStation 2, XBOX, Game Cube, Wii, XBOX 360, and so [...]

Reviews: Asteroids/Asteroids Deluxe (XBLA)

It has been almost 30 years since Atari first released this vector-based game and Stainless Games has provided a faithful translation as well as a meager attempt at an update through XBOX Live Arcade. Although I could not confirm, it is apparently Atari’s best-selling game of all time. They say that the coin-op machines had to have bigger boxes put in because the game was devouring so many quarters. Brilliant way to make some money, huh? An aside: those Crisis games are such coin-stealers, too, aren’t they? Is it possible to go through the game on one credit?
