    Rings of Red

    I am currently on my fifth one. I have 2 (1 core for computer / 1 for TV) and my premium (which was covered through MS has been nothing more then a send in get a refurb problem repeat.) I then went to my local best buy and bought a core with 2yr trade in for new policy (no more waiting 2-3wks...

    Gears of War... the movie

    Well it kind of explains that Cliffy and Crew have been smoozing with Hollywood instead of working on bug fixes and other aspects of the game that need immediate attention. As good of game GOW is there should be no excuse for letting some of the bugs and issues that plague the multiplayer...

    IGN: Another Xbox 360 bites the dust.

    I hope your right on the April prediction Scooby because the refurb I just received is a 4/06 and so far so good except for random disk errors that seem to occur on many systems. Now that I have my Best Buy console though, I use that as my primary and the refurb is used when friends some over...

    Old games made anew

    Hmmm, Rez Doom Series Duke Nuke em Panzer Dragoon Series Smash TV Battle Toads Ikari Warriors (Co-Op :)) Probably others but just off top of my head :) This would be a great time to take the games that had some 2D and 3D combos or early 3D titles and boost up the graphics, A.I...

    Another 360 Ring of Death :(

    Nerve, I agree with your post. This is the first console I have ever owned that I have had to return for replacement or fixed. I have been playing games since the Atari 2600 days and must tell you I am stumped myself. I even have the Original Xbox with a thompson drive and it still works...

    Online Multiplayer Gaming: Exceeding 64 players?

    Well Im hoping that at some point MS might have a way to offer or give dedicated high bandwidth server access to bigger franchises such as say Halo, Rainbow series, etc. I think Shadow Run might be along the lines because there has been speculation (not sure if its true) about Xbox 360 players...

    Another 360 Ring of Death :(

    Well I just got home after a tough day at work and looking to take a little frustration out online and just my luck, after I switch on my Xbox 360, pop in Rainbow Six Vegas I download the patch and bang my system locks. The following reboot gives me the dreaded Red ring :( I then went through...

    AF and the 360 revisited

    I know that F.E.A.R. seems to have some issues with Vsync and collision issues. AF and textures in the Xbox 360 version really disappointed me. I know I was spoiled by playing and having the PC version but seriously this game should of really shined seeing as it was based on the same engine as...

    Xbox 360 repair refunds finally !

    I just wanted to let everyone know that it seems MS has finally started coming through with their promise to refund costs for repair for those of us who were early adopters and received the red ring of death. I was one of those "lucky ones" " :) and my Xbox 360 died on me about 10 days after...

    Beowulf be used with GPU's only?

    I know this is kind of a silly question but I hear about rendering farms, Computer clusters, SLI/Crossfire, etc. and I was wondering if it was possible to use Beowulf (or something similar) to maximize the use of just the GPU's (isolating and combining the power of each GPU) in computers for...

    Call Of Duty 3 - Reviews

    Follow up on the multiplayer here. Loving the 24/24 action and classes but I they do need to make some changes IMO. Spawn Points. When will developers realize if you have a game with snipers please use random spawn spots on the whole map not just predetermined areas they can key in on...

    Microsoft Covering up a Huge Mistake?

    I still havnt received my refund for the cost to repair my xbox 360 (for the people that had the first batches before January I think). Im happy with my unit now but when calling about this refund I keep hearing "4-6 weeks you should get it. MS has you in the data base for the refund." Yeh...

    Call Of Duty 3 - Reviews

    Alstrong: "Well for some reason, no WWII game has had co-op ever. Somehow, developing squad A.I. is less difficult than inserting a second player. But hey, I'm not a developer." Actually A.I. is more difficult. The sad thing is a game like this just begs for a co-op option. Can you...

    F.E.A.R. review (360) IGN

    I have both versions of FEAR as well and I must say it does look better (Texture Wise) on the PC. Some of the metal textures like ladders and pipes are much cleaner and sharper (higher rez or better filtering) in the PC version. I do give the Xbox 360 version some thumbs up for effects though...
