XBox acting up

The Xbox 360 I have at work has been acting a bit strange for the last couple of days. First it started crashing on Two Worlds, but that’s a rather buggy game anyway. It got so bad that it wouldn’t load at all though, so I popped in Rock Band, a recently repaired copy that [...]

Massive Halfling

I just crashed that party again and saw the halfling prince I’m supposed to kill and holy crap that thing is fat. Since when is a halfling bigger than a troll? Maybe I can stuff some diet pills down it’s throat while my minions tear his limbs off. Then the musician caused my early demise [...]

Overlord

I can’t believe I did this but I finally broke down and rented from Movie Gallery. Oh well, I’ve been wanting to play this game ever since I first tried the demo last December, but I haven’t seen any used copies around here, or new ones for that matter, not that I want to spend [...]

Two Worlds

I’ve been itching to buy this game ever since it first came out, but a lot of reviews I read online said it was a horrible, glitchy game. Most of those reviews were for the PC version however, and most of the major bugs were fixed shortly after release with a huge update patch. The [...]
