Ads in Video Games - Whats in it for me?


G4TV's Morgan Webb talks about how videogames have ads, yet the consumer sees no discount on the games. Are we paying to be advertise too? We should see a discount somewhere but we don't, whats up with that?

Give me your thoughts on Advertising in Games.

New Halo 2 Maps!......Only on 360?


So today i got some great news from an inside source in the industry and they told me the following:

"There are a ton of details we simply can’t reveal right now but we can confirm that this content will be coming out sometime next Spring and it will cost something to download. We can also confirm that this new content is only going to be available on Xbox 360 and that you’ll need a hard drive to download them (which is also required to play Halo 2 on 360 anyways)...."

To read more go here.

This is great news as this is my favorite game along with Gears of War. Yet another reason why you should own a 360.

Gears of War, its here and it lives up to the hype!

Well, Gears of War is finally out and making its way to stores near you. I finally got my copy yesturday after hunting around at three different stores and finally finding one at Best Buy in Pentagon City Mall.

I had preordered my copy at Gamestop but they had "shipping problems" so i just went ahead and went somewhere else, i also got a refund for the money i put down on the game.

Well, i have the game and it is probably the best 360 game if not one of the best videogames i have ever played. Its right up there with the Halo franchise that i love so much, and thats saying alot.

The press is also loving the game, below is a video review from Gamespot as well as some scores from popular videogame websites.

Let me know if you get your copy, we can play on Live sometime. Just send me a friend request.

The Best Game Ever - Halo 2


If you dont know, im a huge Halo fan. I love the game that i stood in line for on November 9, 2004. It was a midnight release and i was staying with a friend in Aventura, Florida. He let me borrow his Lexus IS300 and i went to Aventura Mall to stand in line to enter EBGames to get my Special Limited Edition copy of Halo 2.

It was an amazing day. This was one of my favorite moments in my life, right up there with standing 12 hours in the cold rain in front of Best Buy for my 360, and in the future getting married and maybe having a kid.

I have played this game almost every day for the last 2 years and it still begs for me to come back for more. No other game has every made me feel for it the way Halo does. If Master Cheif was a women i would virtually marry her.

The sound of the game's intro theme gives me goose bumps, take a listen and look at the Halo 2 Theme performed by three different artists.
