SkyDrive, CNET, Maxim, Karaoke Apps on Xbox Live Today


Have you noticed the lack of new applications on Xbox Live? Well today I have some good news for you! Do you enjoy checking out content from C|NET? They have an app! Do you read enjoy Maxim? Well there is now an application for that as well. Though to me that application feels very rude. Really? You’re going to title it include in the text. Hot women, news, and video games. Can’t get more disrespectful towards woman can we? Anyways, we have yet another application showing up on Xbox Live. What is it? Karaoke! Yes, you can now download an application that has over 8,000 tracks to pick from. Out of these three applications you’ll be sure to see me on this one with friends. That’s not all! Remember when Microsoft announced Sky Drive? You can download that as well!

What do you think about the applications above? Do any of them interest you? Leave a comment below we’d like to see what you think about each of the applications.

Sonic Adventure 2 May Hit XBL Oct. 3 – Screenshots


Ever since the Dreamcast classic Sonic Adventure hit Xbox LIVE and other formats, everyone has been asking about Sonic Adventure 2. I played the demo for Sonic Adventuer 2 many years ago, when I was a proud SEGA Dreamcast owner, but I’ve never gone through the entire game, and as years progress, some people will lose track of games.

Review: Magic: The Gathering 2012 (PSN)

2011 Xbox Live Summer of Arcade


It’s that time of year again, and we find ourselves on the cusp of yet another Xbox Live Summer of Arcade. Last year saw some fantastic games that might be hard to top, from the award-winning Limbo to the wonderfully entertaining Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. We were lucky enough to get our hands on one of the upcoming Summer of Arcade games last month in the form of Ubisoft’s From Dust, and if it’s any indication of the quality of the rest of this year’s Summer of Arcade offerings, we’re in for a big treat.

The Philosophical Question of the PSN Outage


Is online connectivity really all it’s cracked up to be? In the wake of Sony completely losing their online service for over a week, I just have to ask one potentially-obvious-but-maybe-not question: Do we as gamers really need online?
