2010 Xbox Live Summer of Arcade

Last month, E3 announced a few details for the Xbox Live Summer of Arcade games we could expect to see this summer, only one of which am I visibly excited for.  While we have been in the dark over the last few weeks as to when we could get our grubby little paws on some of these titles, our long, dark tea-time of the soul finally has an expiration date set.  Release dates and pricing have just bee...[Read More]

Review: Blur (X360)

Back in March, I was fortunate enough to grab a code for the Blur multiplayer beta.  I tried it out, and enjoyed it immensely, but didn’t play more than a couple of days due to time restraints.  Eventually, Blur fell out of my thoughts, and it seemed long forgotten.  Forgotten, that is, until yesterday, when Lindsey found this gem.  With the opportunity to get a $59.99 game for the low, low ...[Read More]

Konami’s E3 Press Conference Details

In their live conference yesterday, Konami started off their presentation with video showing a vault and you heard a voice entering the, now classic, Konami code before going into reel of their upcoming games. Shinji Hirano, President of Konami, introduced himself and welcomed everybody. Hirano-san says that this year, Konami has strong line-up which consists of Konami original IP such as Metal Ge...[Read More]

Portal 2

From the delightful song during the end credits, to the simple, yet absolutely addictive gameplay, Portal was a true gem.  Portal was followed by Portal: Still Alive on Xbox Live Arcade, which contained the full original game, 14 new challenges, and new achievements.  Portal 2 was announced earlier this year for release in 2010 (delayed to 2011), and E3 has brought us news and videos.

The Return of the Dreamcast

September 9, 1999 is a day that will live in gamers’ memories for a long time.  It marked the release of SEGA’s Dreamcast console.  The Dreamcast’s graphics, online gameplay, and hardware were ahead of its time creating a community of enthusiasts that still regard the Dreamcast as one of their favorite consoles (myself included). Fans of the Dreamcast’s memorable and incred...[Read More]

Writers Wanted

Currently, World of Meh! is handled by both myself and Chris. With Chris working full-time, 6 days a week, and me only being able to think up of so much to write about, we are looking for a few bright, snarky, and geeky individuals to join us. I should probably state that it’s a voluntary position meaning there is no financial compensation involved. World of Meh! is a labor of love, and to d...[Read More]

Halo: Reach

Earlier this month, those who purchased Halo 3: ODST were treated to early access to the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta.  Lindsey and I were lucky enough to participate in the multi-player beta, and came away from it with differing opinions.  Briefly, she hates it, and I have mixed feelings about it. Lindsey’s distaste for the game stems from the incorporation of armor abilities.  For those of...[Read More]

Fable III

First, I feel I should clear the air about my experiences with Fable II.  When last I spoke of Fable II, I believe I was a bit harsh in my judgement of the game.  In July of 2009, shortly after we received our Xbox 360 Elite, I set myself to playing Fable II.  As my first impression review stated, I was not impressed with it in comparison to the original Fable.  I picked the game up again in Novem...[Read More]

Review: Dragon Age: Origins Darkspawn Chronicles (X360)

Today BioWare released it’s recent installment to the Dragon Age franchise, downloadable content titled Darkspawn Chronicles. News broke about this a couple of weeks ago, but details were sparse. Finally getting my hands on it, I have mixed emotions. Months ago, the Return to Ostagar DLC was released, amid much hype and lots of drama. Unfortunately, it failed to deliver, and it flat out fail...[Read More]

Xbox 360 Technical Support (GRR)

I understand that a company as large as Microsoft requires a very large technical support staff.  I can understand that putting their technical support centers in India is more cost-effective for them.  I can understand that, since the centers are in India, they are more likely to use scripts and automatic emails to get over the language barrier.  I understand all of this, and  yet I am furious at...[Read More]

Xbox Live Gold Membership

Over the last few days we finally received our renewal cards for our annual Xbox Live gold memberships.  My renewal card came with a new wired headset, a messenger pad, and Project Gotham Racing 4 (which we traded in at Target for Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga).  Lindsey’s renewal card was a 12+1, so she has 13 months of gold membership.  We’re looking forward to applying the renew...[Read More]
