Week #4 of the Weekly 360 Game Nights. Here we are a  month later and still going fairly strong for our group.  This week’s game was Burnout: Revenge.  Three members of our group joined the festivities: DirtpileFox, PelicanSteve, and Archbishop Xero. Archbishop Xero hosted the bouts. (more…)

Last night saw a resurgence of Gears of War. The multiplayer shenanigans started off with a bang in the Canals. DirtpileFoX led the COGs to victory with 209 points. Stewie13 gave tactical support while Archbishop Xero clapped loudly in the background in staunch moral support of the team. PelicanSteve proved his worth by adding a whopping 13 points for the Locust squad. (more…)

The weekly sessions of 360 game play started off to a decidedly weak start.

Any of you have a Wii? Any of you wondered if you could use the Wiimote with your PC and code an application to use the Wiimote? If so, this site is for you. It includes links to useful information, instructions to sync your Wiimote to your Bluetooth enable device, and the Managed Library to communicate with the Wiimote.

How cool is that??

This is a great article, in my opinion…

It harps on the rising cost of DRM-less music tracks from iTunes Music Store, to locked content on video games. It’s an editorial piece, with an opinion I can support.

From the article:

There’s a balancing act here: You want to give players substantial, meaningful rewards for doing well, but you don’t want to make them suffer through boring or unwanted parts of the game to get to the “good stuff.”

And of course, you don’t want players who aren’t really good to miss out on any of that costly content you built for the game.

Clearly, the trend emerging now is toward a less locked-down future. One of the big RIAA labels is offering a path — albeit not a well-priced one — to music that you can more easily move around to different devices.

Yesterday, I purchased my third Wii game: Wii Play. It is packaged with a Wii Remote, so it’s worth it one way or the other.

Heck, I needed an extra controller anyway, which at $40 MSRP, makes the game essentially $10. I convinced myself of the need to buy the game.

I can’t speak to the quality, or humor, firsthand, but apparently this is worth a watch. When I get home, I’ll give this a watch. However, it looks like it has been made by college students with an extreme amount of time on their hands, which is usually a recipe for comic gold.
