A Revolution in Console Game Development

Posted 02-25-2008 at 09:02 PM by Cristiano

As game systems become more and more advanced, game development has become much more expensive - mainstream releases are multi-million dollar productions. If there is not a guaranteed market for a game, it will probably never see the light of day on a console because the costs are just too high and companies like to play it safe. That is a shame, because it means so many types of games will never get made or experienced by a wide group of players....

Exit

Posted 02-16-2008 at 03:44 PM by Cristiano


Well, I have been sidetracked from posting this week because of the server move, but I took sometime today to try out a game I had not heard of before called Exit. It's an XBOX Live game that was originally on the PSP. It's a puzzle game basically, which combines elements of Lemmings, Prince of Persia, and other games, but is very unique. You have to rescue people from disasters by getting...

Woot 1000 points finally!

Posted 02-08-2008 at 03:32 PM by Cristiano
This is totally embarrassing, but I am happy that I have finally unlocked enough achievements in games to have a Gamerscore over 1000 on XBOX 360. I didn't get there with any lame ones either, I worked hard to get those points. Oblivion Game of the Year Edition set me over the top - I decided I wanted to play it in all its high def glory instead of dealing with the technical issues on the PC, so I am finally playing it. I got 50 points for completing the tutorial sequence, and combined with my surprising...

Call of Duty 4

Posted 02-08-2008 at 01:04 PM by Cristiano
Ok, I know I am a day late and a dollar short here, but ZOMG Call of Duty 4 is just about one of the most impressive games I've ever seen. The production quality is so high, and the game is so engaging that I can't believe it. I am not normally one who likes shooters (Halo * yawn *), but the gameplay is so compelling that I was drawn into it and can't get enough of it. I hear the single player campaign is short. I'm still stuck on the first mission after the tutorial one (the excellent ship mission...

Poker Smash

Posted 02-07-2008 at 08:09 AM by Cristiano
One of the things I like most about XBOX Live is there is such a wide variety of games available for it, and unique games are being created for it. Poker Smash is one of those games. It is great to have a game that is not just a remake of a PC puzzle game, but one that takes deep advantage of XBLA and the XBOX 360.

The game is a puzzle game that mixes the basics of Poker with a fast paced unique matching experience. There are five different cards in rows moving upward that you have...
