Win an Xbox 360 Console and an Xbox Live Subscription
I know it's felt like forever since we've had a giveaway, but we wanted to wait until we had something reallly good, so feast your eyes on this beauty — an Xbox 360 gaming console! And not only that, but Xbox is also throwing in a one year subscription to Xbox Live!
What's great about the Xbox 360 is that it connects you to the entertainment and people you love, whether they’re down the street or around the world.
How to Get Your Xbox Repaired Quickly and Cheaply
I now have a love/hate relationship with my Xbox. Not only did my original Xbox flash me with the "Red Ring of Death" (conveniently just a few days after the warranty expired), but now my replacement Xbox has died as well. Unfortunately, this one only lasted a month.
Do You Prefer Portable or Console Systems?
I've always thought of portable gaming systems like the Nintendo DS or Sony PSP as substitutes for the real thing. Don't get me wrong, I always slip my DS into my purse when I know I am going to have to wait for a plane, train or automobile, but it's just not as engaging and exciting as playing the game on a console like the Wii or Xbox. It's the big sound.
Microsoft's New Parental Street Cred Videos . . .
Microsoft has just come out with a series of new Xbox 360 video ads called "Parental Street Cred" which I hate to say, don't exactly achieve their goal of making the Xbox seem like a fun "family-friendly" device. Is this video targeted to kids? Or maybe the parents?
Parents Pull the Saddest Prank on Hopeful Child
As a kid, I always dreamed of the day when my parents would surprise me with a Nintendo under the Christmas tree. I never did get a Nintendo (my mom had nightmares about me playing it 24/7), although I did settle for a GameBoy — which for some reason seemed a bit cooler at the time. Needless to say, I know what it feels like to want something like a gaming console so bad, you would give up birthdays for the next five years if it meant getting one.
Things on Wheels Coming to XBox Live Arcade This Summer
Racing Games: Seen one, seen 'em all, right? With the new format of Burnout Paradise totally blowing my mind, I thought innovation would take a backseat for a bit while we got used to a new way of playing racers. Little did I know that game developer Load had something up its sleeves.
Domino's Twelve Days of Xbox Prizes
From Dec. 1 to Dec. 12, Domino's Pizza will be kicking off the holidays with XII Days of Xbox.
Love It or Leave It? Blue and Pink Xbox 360 Controllers
After learning that a majority of women prefer sleek and sophisticated tech products over feminine and girlie pink products, I'm curious to know how many of you are loving these new Xbox 360 wireless controllers? Featured on Joystiq, these new controllers are set to be released on October 2nd and cost $50 each. With a 30-foot range, up to 40 hours of life and two-way voice communication when connected to the 360, these controllers may boast more than just their good looks.
Number Of Female Gamers Increases
I've always known that girls love video games. Just ask Ingrid Diaz, who is co-editor of Play Girlz and a self confessed gamer addict. She uses her website to prove there's no such thing as a "girl game" or even "girl gamer" and she does a darn good job.
Dance Dance Revolution Helps Combat Obesity in Kids?
Wired Magazine recently suggested we throw in our gym passes and start up our video consoles for some active gaming, and this week, the New York Times is reporting some schools are using the popular Dance Dance Revolution game to combat childhood obesity. In fact, while some video games have gotten a bad reputation for contributing to the expanding waistlines of the nation’s children, at least several hundred schools in at least 10 states are now using Dance Dance Revolution, or D.D.R., as a regular part of their physical education curriculum. read more
