November 2010, for less than $100. Is it possible the holy grail of gaming peripherals known as Project Natal will be available at such a low price?
The November ‘10 release date lines up with information that’s been making the rounds since the device was first announced, but this is the first time a price has been mentioned.
This information comes from a spy report published by gaming trade mag MCV. The report goes on to say that Microsoft is readying 5 million units to meet the demand when Natal goes on sale November 2010, and that at least 14 game titles …read more

I’m not sure if you caught it or not, but Obama had a little bit to say recently about kids and our responsibility as parents. Specifically he stated that parents need to turn off the Xbox and get our kids in bed at a reasonable hour.
The article I read about his statement says that the Obama household living in the White House is a Wii family. Was he taking sides? Why didn’t he mention the Wii specifically instead of the Xbox?
Now I’m not saying we should read too much into this. Who really knows why he mentioned Xbox initially …read more

It’s not every day you get to say you were present for history in the making. But Microsoft made history on January 1st, 2009, and I was there to see it.
Xbox set the bar insanely high with its 2009 E3 Media Briefing. This multi-million dollar affair was a star-studded venture filled with juicy exclusives, jaw-dropping demos, and revolutionary surprises that just might turn the entire gaming industry on its head. Microsoft stunned the audience with surprise appearances by Steven Spielberg, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and others.
But let’s get right to the big: Microsoft is about to change the way you …read more
Sam and Max – Available on Xbox Live!
Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle. On Thursday of last week, TellTale Games announced that not only would we be seeing their new episodic adventure series, Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Adventures, on Xbox Live, but we’ll also be seeing the sensational dog and lagomorph series, Sam and Max on Xbox Live as well. Why only limit the greatness of Sam and Max to the PC? Why not let the ENTIRE Xbox playing world in on their fun little secret?!
So, when these Sam and Max episodes do hit Xbox Live, instead of looking for Sam and Max Season 1 and …read more
Wallace and Gromit episodes coming to Xbox Live Arcade!
This seems to be the week for Telltale. And why shouldn’t it be? They are pretty freaking awesome. And the news that they’ve brought this week have made this adventure gamer quite happy. According to 1UP, the next adventure in Telltale’s line up Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Adventure will be coming to Xbox Live Arcade!
So, why does this make me happy? They’ve already had games come to the Wii for download. Why not just play it on the Wii?
Because… I love the Xbox so much more than the Wii. It hate filling out the stupid Wii-Credit page to get more …read more
New Adventure Puzzler: Braid
Right now, on XBox Live, there is a new puzzle game that looks somewhat short of amazing that was just released on August 5th. The game, Braid seems to be a big hit with a lot of people, probably due to the coolness of it. I mean, it’s so good, that even 1Up gave it an A+, and they never say good things about anyone!
Okay, that’s a lie, I’m sure. But still – an A+ from 1Up is like a blessing from the heavens above!
The game, which was developed by independent game developer, Jonathan Blow, plays kind of like …read more
XBox Live Adventure Game Downloads!
Back in December, around that time I like to call “Christmas”, I got an XBox 360. Just this week, I was finally able to get the dang thing on my wireless network (those XBox 360 wireless adapters are freakin’ expensive!) and I got to check out XBox Live and look at all the games I could download without having to get off of my butt to rent them!
What I found out is that there are quite a few adventure and other kick ass cool games that you can purchase via XBox Live and I thought I’d share the titles and …read more
