Today at E3 Microsoft previewed the upcoming fall Xbox Live update. And what changes there will be. The interface is obviously moving towards more of a Mac/Vista look and feel. Gamercards are still around as will your gamerscore, but my first question is what will happen to all of those 1000's of Microsoft...

Game of the Week - Ninja Gaiden II

Game of the Week - Iron Man

I have been a fan of Iron Man since I was a kid. Granted he is not on the top of the super hero food chain but I did pick up the occasional issue of the Invincible Iron Man.

Game of the Week: Gears of War 2

When the dust settled on the original Gears of War release over four million copies were sold and some of the highest critical praise of any title on the 360 to date.

Game of the Week - Dark Sector

When I first read about Dark Sector in OXM a few months back I really liked the concept of the game. I had heard about the drawn out development cycles and the focus on the Glaive. (Think Krull).
