Halo Anniversary Gets Terminals
November 15th can’t come fast enough for us Halo fans. Almost like Master Chief himself was having a homecoming celebration from being lost in space, the original badass comes to the Xbox 360. It’s a tall order to fill, but the new Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary looks absolutely stunning. It’s amazing what a new coat of paint can do for a game, while releasing an HD remake is certainly not groun...[Read More]

Review: Lucha Fury (XBLA)
Lucha Fury is a good-looking game, and you can tell that Punchers Impact treated the game as a labor of love. Four luchador wrestlers (who are also slackers) come together to stop a shortage of their favorite energy drink only to stumble upon something more sinister; this is no normal shortage. Ancient Gods are stealing the world’s supply of Pollojo, because they don’t think the human race deserve...[Read More]
A 24kb Download: Finding DLC On Disc

Review: Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax (XBLA)
Half-Minute Hero began life essentially as freeware known as 30-Second Hero originally developed by UUE. A unique take on the Japanese Role Playing Game (JRPG) formula, players had 30 seconds to beat an evil wizard and save the world from certain destruction.

Review: Mortal Kombat Season Pass / Skarlet DLC (360)
Looks like DLC passes might be the wave of the future. First Rockstar’s L.A. Noire, now Warner Bros. Mortal Kombat (you can read my review on the game here) is using this business model to sell DLC. The way it works is you buy the pass for 1200 Microsoft Points ($15 Bucks), and it gives you future DLC at a discounted rate. Without the pass, Skarlet, Rain, Kenshi, and a yet to be announced kombatan...[Read More]
Review: Mortal Kombat (360)
Nothing can prepare you. That’s the old tag line, and it’s true. It’s been a long time since Mortal Kombat delivered the type of fighting I’ve come to expect from the series. In 1995, Mortal Kombat 3 (along with Ultimate and Gold) would be the last title to let fans fight in a 2D plane until now.
