Well, seeing as both of my mics have been massacred by my dog, I went and looked around my local Wal-Mart, and I found this mic. Its similar to the original Xbox mic, and the sound is a lot better than the standard Xbox 360 mic. Also, as a added bonus it can pump out a lot more volume than the Xbox 360 mic. I found this to be a problem with the standard Xbox 360, and I was quite pleased to see

Its been a while since a fairly fresh game has hit the marketplace, due to Microsoft laying a huge amount of emphasis on old school games.Right when you jump into the game, you will immediately notice that the influences from Super Smash Brothers are there, and quite obvious, although not directly extracted. Small Arms blends both Super Smash Bros. and Metal Slug into a interesting game, that in

I finally managed to get a decent deal on a HDTV that I was pleased with, I ordered it, and it should be coming in November 30th. Its a phat TV for sure, weighing in at about 188 pounds. The regular price was $799.99; however, it was marked down twice to a clearance price of $439, which I thought to be a good offer considering.If you want to view some of the specs, you can view them [here].

Today I preordered both Halo 3 and Lost Planet [Limited Edition]. They never even bothered asking me which of the Halo 3 skews I wanted, due to the lack of knowledge at this moment on the game. All they could tell me was that it was hitting stores sometime next November. I also preordered Lost Planet limited, and that is scheduled to be released January 13th. So many games, so little time.

Today, I beat the Gears of War campaign on insane, with my brother, and it was a awesome experience. Insane, is not to insane; its a perfect balance of hardness. You occasionally get stuck in places, but that is expected when running through a game on the hardest difficulty. I can confidentially say that Gears is definitely one of the best games to come around in a rather long time, at least for

Jeremy really has been busy with stuff. And by that I mean playing Gears of War for hours on end. I do not have this luxury since I have to split my time between Call of Duty and Gears of War. All well.But I am here to talk about something I care about almost more than video games just to fill the void in posts with something at least. That something is the operating system that has the privilege

Well, as you know for sometime now I have been looking for a pup, and finally we came across the one that we felt was right for our home, and one that we all extremely liked. We picked Lucy up on Saturday at the local SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), and were quite lucky to receive her, due to the massive amount of adoptions that were put on her.Finally the home feels full

Today was my real first day, but was only 3 hours in length. I went over fairly basic stuff, and tried a batch of hamburgers, and similar tasks. I have another 3 hour training day tomorrow, and a 7 hour shift on Sunday.The work isn't overly hard, but it will take some practice to get used to it. But that can be said about any task, practice is always key. I am being trained for the kitchen, and

Although I am completely hooked on FeedReader, this is defiantly a good alternative. SharpReader is a compact, feature-rich RSS Aggregator. The reader also supports various plugins, for example, MailItem, allows the user to simply forward a article via email to a contact. Simple, but useful.Check it out

Microsoft recently popped a new Gears of War trailer up on the Xbox Live Marketplace for download. Xboxyde, as always, captured it and it can be downloaded also from the site (Only in SD).This trailer was extremely well done in my opinion, and the music choice was spot on. This was worth the time, and I guarantee you that you will enjoy it.Download it [here]

Alright, for a week now my dog has been sneezing, and occasinally coughing. Me and my family considered it just to be a cold, and ignored it for the time being. After a couple of days of the same habits from Daisy, we decided to take her to the vet. My father took her today, and the veterinary discovered a large brain tumor. We were told she had 3 weeks at most to live. So, we did the logically

For the most part, my whole weekend was spent playing Splinter Cell. For the majority of the time I played the multi-player portion of the game, but also touched lightly on the cooperative challenges, and the single player. All three portions of the game, I heavily enjoyed.The multi-player portion of all the Splinter Cell games has always been my favorite part about these games. Although, I felt

Universal and 20th Century Fox today have announced that they will not be funding the Halo movie. The movie was estimated to cost around $135 million; however, apperently the price rose to an even higher amount of $200 million. Peter Jackson is still working on pre-production material, despite this rather large set back.According to Kotaku, Jon Polito will play the role of Master Chief. This was

If you have ever wanted to play Geometry Wars on your PC, due to a lack of a Xbox 360, its your lucky day. Grid Wars, was asked to be shut down, by Bizarre Creations, due to the increasing popularity of the project, and Bizarre along with Microsoft were "beginning to feel the effects of the Geometry Wars clones on our sales via Microsoft".

I have been anticipating the release of Double Agent for some time, and for whatever reason Canadians get it a day later, or possibly two. I just recently called EB, and apparently it should be in tomorrow or the next day; however, I am praying that it hits the shelves here tomorrow. Another day passes, and my hunger for SCDA grows.

When I downloaded the demo for the upcoming Splinter Cell game, I was hyped to the max. I really want to get my hands on the multiplayer, seeing as I loved the first of the series, Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory. The sad thing is, since the demo has hit the marketplace, I have only played 1 spy game, and 3 merc games. There are several problems with the demo, that make it extremly hard to get

After playing around 5 hours on the beta, I realized that I thoroughly enjoy the game. This enjoyment is probably half derived from my love for the GCN version that I played a huge amount back when it came out. The community interaction is much improved in Phantasy Star Universe, and it is much easier to communicate with others. There has been a insane amount of content added compared to what was
