Ghostbusters: The Video Game (Xbox 360 Demo)
Last night, after playing through the Wolverine: Origins demo again (I WANT THAT GAME), I downloaded a few more demos to try out. The first one I downloaded was the Ghostbusters: The Video Game demo. I had heard very good things about it. I also heard that it was, essentially, the third installment of the movie series. As a huge fan of the movies (at least the first one), I had to give it a sh...[Read More]
Happy Bungie Day!
Today, for all you Halo fans, is Bungie Day. The creators of the Halo series, Bungie, have an affinity for the number 7. Since today is 7/7/09 that makes it Bungie Day! If you own Halo 3 and have an Xbox Live account, you can go into the special playlist “Bungie vs. The World” so that you can be matched up with some of the Bungie staff. If you win the round with them, you will be award...[Read More]
Wolverine: Origins (Xbox 360 Demo)
Over the weekend, we downloaded the Wolverine: Origins demo on our Xbox 360. I am generally hesitant of movie adaptations, but Lindsey had seen some gameplay footage, and I had read a great deal about the game, so we felt it would be a fun, free demo. I gave it a shot on Sunday night, and was immediately impressed by the graphics. The introductory FMV does a good job of introducing the characte...[Read More]
Grand Slam Tennis – Wii
Viewing Review – Before I go into my review for Grand Slam Tennis, I want to let you guys and gals know that I am not too keen on sports games. I have never been athletically inclined, and I’ve found most sports to be boring. Tennis is a sport that I would never play in real life. I’m just too lazy to run back and forth on the court just to hit a ball, so that brings me to video ...[Read More]
Xbox 360 Elite
Yesterday, we joined the ranks of Xbox 360 owners. Even more exclusively, we are a proud owner of an Xbox 360 Elite console. We received it as a joint birthday gift yesterday from my mother (Lindsey’s birthday is tomorrow, mine is in October). As an added gift, Chris & Kelly purchased The Orange Box for Lindsey’s birthday. To complete our day, we rounded up all of the games we ...[Read More]
Lindsey’s Surprise Birthday Party
Lindsey’s birthday is tomorrow (Monday, June 29th), but I threw her birthday party yesterday (Saturday, June 27th). The party was a surprise, and went off fairly well. I took Lindsey out to run some errands, and left her copy of the house key under the mat for one of my friends. They came by, let everyone in, put the cake in the freezer, and waited for our return, where they yelled “...[Read More]
Fable (Xbox)
Last week, I finally had the chance to play through Fable on the Xbox. I remember looking forward to this game with great anticipation when it was first announced, but never having the chance to give it a try. Last week, in a used game store, we saw a clean copy for 7.99, and picked it up fairly quickly. We got home, and I started my life in Albion. The controls were fantastic. I had no proble...[Read More]
Halo 2
I never played Halo 2 very often. I’m not particularly brilliant at it, and never have been. I’m getting better, but it’s a slow process. Lindsey, on the other hand, is a fiend. She was very well known on Xbox Live, and was a very skilled player. She gave it up for a couple of years, but a few nights ago, the urge to play hit her hard, and we found ourselves playing Halo 2 o...[Read More]
Trivial Pursuit?
After jamming to Guitar Hero: World Tour and loving how my throat hurt after doing my best rendition of Pat Benetar’s “Heartbreaker,” the gang and I decided to put Trivial Pursuit in my XBOX. I know some of you might be thinking that a board game played on a console must suck, and those thoughts would be correct. Chris was blatantly cheating, although he would say otherwise, and ...[Read More]
