We know Crackdown went gold and is shipping to retailers very soon. I called up Gamestop asking the release date and this was his response: “Let me check the computer. Just a second. Alright, we get it February 13, probably before that. Wait - February 20 is when we’ll sell it.” Release the game Microsoft! Why wait? Major Nelson, John Porcaro, and two more Microsoft employees are already pl... more.

Gamestop listed a 256 MB Memory Card a long time ago but today upgraded it to 512 MB and with a release date of March 1 and the small price of $50 (it’s a good price considering it is eight times greater than the first one which cost $40.)

Towards the end of 2004 a terrible announcement was made. EA locked up the NFL license exclsuively. It was evident how they put less work into Madden NFL 06 and 07 than the other titles.

Lost Planet's demo was downloaded a lot. The Halo 3 trailer was downloaded a lot (servers were really slow that day.) Fight Night Round 3's demo was downloaded a lot. Crackdown broke records for most 24 hour downloads and the weekly download record. While it has gathered a lot more attention since the Halo 3 beta announcement a lot of people have liked the demo. I enjoyed it a lot. The co-op was ... more.

I was reading through the comments and did comment on the posting over at Gamerscoreblog on the new arcade titles and noticed a bad fact. I wondered what game would be released this week and while scrolling down the comments John Porcaro answers the question. “As a matter of fact, there is no game tomorrow…  ” There should be a new Arcade game tommorow but Microsoft just released Vista a... more.

After what has turned into an explosive topic if anything else, there is such a thing as a woman gamer. Of course though, the simple issue is that there flat out just isn't enough of them. Nevertheless, for those who do exist us guys always seem to freak-out when we actually come across one. Having been witness to this unneeded conduct the few times I actually played on Xbox Live with or against ... more.
