Xbox LIVE Arcade Game – “Watchmen: The End is Nigh”

The Watchmen film was released last Friday and it did reasonably well at the box-office.  Now you can bring home the action by downloading Watchmen: The End Is Nigh from the Xbox LIVE arcade.
Players (you can play as either Rorscach or Nite Owl) must answer the call and save their city from crime, terror and Underboss, who has broken out of prison. 
The action in this superhero-type game is undeniable as you can take on up to 20 enemies at a time using street-fighting moves.  You can also engage in multiplayer, split-screen mode.
Here’s the trailer:

This action game was released on …read more

Xbox LIVE Arcade Game Review: Tron

If you grew up in the 80s, then you probably remember the movie Tron starring Jeff Bridges as a programmer abducted into a computer and forced to play gladiator-style games during his attempt to escape.  I remember first seeing the game at an arcade when I was a kid.  I was too young to play so I had to stand there and watch my brother and his friends have fun.  I was thrilled, therefore, when I got the chance to enjoy a little old-school action. 
I’m not going to lie.  When I first downloaded and played this game, I …read more

Xbox LIVE Deal of the Week – “Braid”

Gold members can download Braid from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for just 800 points until March 1, 2009!  That’s a savings of 33% so, if you’ve been wanting this game, this is the time to grab it!
This puzzle game allows players to alter time (this feature is actually what creates the puzzles).  You can rewind, play in parallel realities, expand time and more.  As a result, your character never dies or loses as you make your way through a series of worlds in search of puzzle pieces.  Sounds trippy to me.  Maybe I’ll download this one.
Here’s a video to show …read more

Xbox LIVE Arcade Review: The Maw

I had a chance to download The Maw in the Xbox LIVE Arcade today and Twisted Pixel game is a strange one. 
You play as Frank, a cute little blue alien who, at the pinnacle of the alien revolution, finds himself on a planet dragging around his new pet, a purple blob named Maw.  Frank can put Maw on a leash and, as they make their way through the planet in search of freedom (you start off at a crash site of some sort), Maw eats almost everything in sight.
The game is recommended for children ages 10 and up …read more

Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned

Last week, Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned became available for download on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace.  I won’t lie, I’m not a big fan of the GTA games but I know they win awards and are seriously popular so there must be something that I’m missing.
Anyway, you can engage in online multiplayer game play with 2-16 players and there’s some cool downloadable content (check out the GTA IV Marketplace page). 
To download the game, you’ll need 1600 Microsoft points and 2 GB of free space.  In the meantime, watch this cool “Weazel News Special Report” for the …read more

New Xbox Experience Triples Xbox LIVE Arcade Sales

After Microsoft released the New Xbox Experience last month, sales on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace tripled.  That’s amazing!  I have to admit that I have found the interface to be more user-friendly because those tabs drove me crazy.
While there were massive (650%!!!!!) increases in Uno downloads after the integration of Avatars it was the staggering 49% increase in movie downloads (along with 30% for television shows) that surprised me most – maybe people are stocking up on holiday classics?
Xbox LIVE members are also adding more friends (up by 33%) and visiting the site more often (66% increase over last …read more
