What a Glorious Year for Xbox Gaming 2007 Will Be

This is just a little look back at the Xbox 360 in the year 2006 and 2007 by looking at my old copy of OXM. The idea behind this is XKCD's five-year game lag which can save you a ton of money!

This magazine has it all! Halo, DOA... Extreme, Rainbow 6, and Half-Life 2! I'm a big DOA fan but DOA Extreme 2 is just not good. I don't care about your line of decency for the in game models but there is just no game there. Bad mini games that you have to play on your own.

Oh XKCD

You are amazing.

WTF Is This Google?

This horrifying ad was on my blog. What is this... I don't even... come on! I'll let a lot of stupid stuff online slide, but this? "Halo" a game that doesn't exist (Halo: Combat Evolved.) It's on Valhalla on Halo 3, the photoshopping is awful and if at some point playpickle.com got in browser Xbox 360 emulation working I'd be freaking impressed.

You know what? NO!
My blog will now be ad free, this is a horrible offence to gaming.

Nintendo is Learning to be Modern

So I was registering my copy of Skyward Sword on Club Nintendo when BAM! Social networking and integration and it's not annoying or intrusive. I love it when this sort of thing makes it to Nintendo because they are really lagging behind in the internet realm.

Also, as a side note. This little game is the reason I've had almost zero updates with Contreramanjaro. That and finals, those are important too...
