[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhO-OE931D4] Seen in this video is a kid opening up a present that he thinks is an Xbox 360. Shortly after when he opens the box, he finds that there's no Xbox 360 in there, but clothes instead. Now, parents may think that this is a cool idea, but for the love of all things good in the world please don't tease your kids with presents that they think they got... more.

In grand fashion, Mark Rein has denied the very notion of such a thing called Gears of War 2 or what ever it will be called. Over on the official Gears of War forums, Rein had this to say about the "rumor": It is complete nonsense. We have not announced a sequel to Gears of War to Gamepro or anyone else for that matter. While this is very sad to hear, but if you read between the line's you just m... more.

April 29th, will be here before anyone know's it. Unfortunately the time between now and then will include a fair amount of marketing for Grand Theft Auto IV. Halo 3's advertising blitz up until its launch annoyed quite a bit of people, but will history repeat itself this time around? If you fell into that camp of annoyed do gooder's who are easily turned off by excessive advertising then look no... more.

Xbox Live hasn't exactly been up to snuff lately. Luckily in the infinite wisdom of Microsoft or the "Evil Empire" that some call it, today is the last day to grab your free copy of XBLA title Undertow if you haven't already. Don't think you'll like scuba diving and shooting baddies with a spear gun for the low low cost of free. If so, get over yourself, because Microsoft didn't have to do a thin... more.

We've all been there when it comes to reading game reviews. Swearing up and down to yourself that what ever review it is, it must be wrong, because you don't happen to agree. Well, it time that the reader here how it should be done, Reading reviews that is. OXM's Dan Amirch has had it with the whole misuse of game reviews and has decided to let the readers know how (not) to read a review. If youâ... more.

Update 3: Everything should be in the land of milk and cookies once again. "Up and running" it is. Update 2: It seemed as if Live was all well again, but that still may not be the case for some like myself. The service status now reads: Status: Users may experience intermittent issues logging onto Xbox Live. Our engineers are continuing to investigate and are working to resolve this issue. We a... more.

Its been said time after time. "You need to work on your priorities." It doesn't matter what exactly that means to you, but in the case of a 18-year-old from South Elgin, Illinois who's first instinct during a fire was to save his Xbox, that quote makes perfect sense. We all love our Xbox's (hopefully), but in the event of a fire, lets hope you have bigger things on your mind then saving your Xb... more.

For those of you who haven't been basking in the glory of all that of which is Halo, and instead have been under a "Gigantor" sized Halo rock during the last six years of so (if that's the case chances are your not reading this either), this new "Vidoc" is for you. "Journey's End" chronicles the Halo Universe up until the events of Halo 3 for the fortunate folks out there who will be getting Halo... more.

  Coming with the new dashboard update; Major Nelson gives us a warning to you Silver account members out there. Unfortunately you will have to wait a bit longer then Gold members to be able to get free content such as demos....etc. The free content as Nelson explains will be exclusively available to Gold members for one week before being available to Silver accounts. Just a reminder that if you ... more.

It was one of the only sore spots that came with a purchase of Bioshock, the 4:3 widescreen cropping issue. If you were playing the game in widescreen, you were essentially viewing a cropped down view from the 4:3 aspect ratio. What's the big deal lots of people asked? You were pretty much being cheated out of a good portion of the viewable screen real estate that you would expect to be seeing, h... more.
