WRUP: New Year’s Edition

On account of lingering holiday madness, we skipped the most recent Friday for What Are You Playing in favor of a special New Year’s Edition. So, without belaboring the point, do you have any special New Year’s Eve gaming plans?

Whatever you find yourself doing this evening, remember to have a good time and stay safe.

Filed under:

You’ve already read Richard’s Best 360 Games of 2007 picks, so now it’s time for the correct my awards to be given out. And before you read on any further you should know that my choices for Best 360 Games of 2007 were not swayed in the least. No developers, publishers or ad-agencies could pressure me into giving out an award to an undeserving game.

Read on fanboys for Dustin’s complete list of the best, worst, semi-okay and super-awesome games of 2007. Click on …

Best 360 Games of 2007: Richard’s picks

Filed under:


Just to get this out of the way, we’re not doing an official Xbox 360 Fanboy Game of the Year Award or anything like that. There are only two of us on this site — though we have the combined physical strength of 2.5 men — and that would make voting a little silly. Thus, we will instead post our own individual takes on the best games of 2007 and why we picked them. Naturally, we’ll stick to 360 titles, though we do occasionally play other consoles (I’m particularly enamored with Super Mario Galaxy at the moment, for example). So, read on for my personal picks for the best titles of 2007 (I’ll leave the worst title for Dustin to decide).

Bomberman Live tournament for the new year

Filed under: ,

We couldn’t think of a better way to kick off the new year than with a bombtacular Bomberman Live Xbox Live tournament complete with prizes and fame.

Hudson just opened up registration for the Bomberman Live New Year’s Bash Tournament & Sweepstakes (that’s a mouth full) and invite the best bombers from around the world to participate. You will need the Bomb-Up Pack 3 to partake in the fun, because the tournament winners will be chosen from the “Weekly Ranked Friendly Fire” leaderboard. The eight gamers who sit atop the leaderboard will win prizes including 100,000 Microsoft points, Xbox 360 hardware and other accessories. Not up for tournament competition and are better suited for a game of chance? Registration on the Hudson website will also enter you into a random sweepstakes where twenty-five winners will win Microsoft points and sweet swag. Hurry up and register though, the tournament kicks off January 6th with all the festivities conclude on the 13th. Good luck bombing!

The best of holiday show, brag and tell

Filed under:

The holidays are all but wrapped up, family members have made their way home and your stomach probably hurts due to a serious case of holiday overeating. So now is time for reflection. Reflection on what sweet gift goodness was scored over the past seven days.

Last week we asked everyone to share what gifts they received and you guys came through. There were a multitude of fanboys who were gifted random DVDs, gift cards, Rock Band bundles and clothes that didn’t fit, but we figured we’d highlight some of the most memorable fanboy gifts. Take a look after the break and read what we felt to be some of your most sought after (and not so sought after) holiday gifts of 2007.

Unhappy Xbox Live users demand compensation

Filed under: ,

Xbox Live is still borked (we’re going on a week now) and It’s getting to the point where we expect and accept the service to act unreliably wonky. But not everyone is willing to be so understanding, as a general cry of dissatisfaction is erupting all across the internets and some are demanding compensation.

Over on the Xbox.com forums, members started a thread about the Xbox Live downtime and are going as far to demand some sort of compensation for the week long disturbance. Compensation either in the form of free Xbox Live, Microsoft points or games. But, as with any civil movement that gains ground, Xbox.com moderators were quick to lock the thread and any others that bring up the subject of compensation (what ever happened to freedom of Xbox Live speech?) So far we’ve been able to remain level headed and patient about the whole thing, but if our Xbox Live isn’t back on its feet soon we just might jump on the compensation bandwagon. We’re getting our picket signs ready and have mapped a route to the Xbox Live offices. No payment without service … or something like that.

This Week in HD DVD: time machine edition

Filed under: ,

Funny thing happened last week with our whole “This Week in HD DVD” blog we do. Seriously, this is funny stuff. You see, we didn’t actually do it. We forgot to because of all the holiday stuff and oopsy, it slipped our mind. A real gut buster isn’t it? Anyway, this week there are absolutely zero HD DVD releases so what better way to right our wrong than to go back into our magical time machine and dig up last week’s HD DVD releases. And wouldn’t you know, we did just that. Below are last week’s HD DVD releases from the 23rd and 28th. Funny, funny, ha, ha!
