Let me preface this review by saying that I’m not the hardcore fighter type. By that I mean I don’t play fighters very much, and am not even remotely close to being great at them. So with that said, I’m not the type of person that can describe all of the intricacies of Soul Calibur [...]
I have become amazed at what XBLA has done in the past few weeks. It started with Geometry Wars 2, a game Jim Canapa described perfectly in the previous column (he should know, since his high scores are far better than mine). Bionic Commando, another great game I will go into detail about later, was the most recent addition. But in the middle was Braid, the first game to ever cause an internal conflict for me.
I admit I was disappointed when Microsoft didn’t have any surprise XBLA releases during E3. All’s not lost however, since they announced some exciting new games for the service that will arrive later this year. But before I get into that, let’s talk about this week’s nice pair of releases: 1942 Joint Strike and Go! Go! Break Steady.
Hey guys, I’m back from a long hiatus, which involved me trying to get Live working again and doing some other actual work. Big thanks to chamberlain who wrote the last article, and will now be alternating posts with me. To celebrate my return, Microsoft has decided to release two quality games this week: Schizoid and Golf: Tee it Up!
OK, I admit it; I never finished the first Ninja Gaiden. And while the statement is also true with regard to the NES version, I am specifically referring to the Ninja Gaiden that debuted on Xbox. But unlike most people who didn’t finish, I’m assuming I was unique in the sense that I didn’t finish [...]
This week’s XBLA releases are Wolf of the Battlefield: Commander 3 and Frogger 2. Just by looking at the names, you can probably tell that one is pretty good and the other is terrible.
The dust from the furious thunderstorm of last week has settled, leading the way for a more peaceful, yet boring post. I could delve further into the reasons why the XBLA de-listing process is one of the stupidest decisions of all time, but I won’t.
Hey everyone, this is your friendly Saving Progress writer Jay Aphale. As is evident by my reviews, I’m a 360 only owner, which certainly makes things tough this generation. One thing that eases the envy I have of other platform owners, however, is the Xbox Live Arcade.

Review: Triggerheart Exelica
I will admit that I was a bit harsh in my review of Triggerheart Exelica (THE). After playing it several more times, the game has opened up for me. I have not only become much better, but I’ve learned several strategies in tackling the hardest part of the game. But my [...]
Now I don’t consider myself an amazing video game player: I always needed to stock up on elixirs in Ninja Gaiden, I achieve an immense amount of deaths when I play Halo 3 multiplayer, hell; I had an incredibly hard time when I went back to play some of the old 2D Sonic games. But [...]
