Halo Wars / Killzone 2 Reviews Soon

I’ll be putting up my opinions of Halo Wars and Killzone 2 in the not to distant future

First post revisited

I was looking back over what has been said on the site since I started posting (not as frequently as I should tbh) and I noticed the first post I made, where we were discussing the initial pricing and how Sony were going to face off against Microsoft.

A quick look back… Then onward to infinity and beyond!

With all the other game sites looking at the best and the worst moments in gaming throughout ‘07, we thought we’d take a different tact, we’d look at where we were right, admit where we were wrong and then use Mikes bald head as a crystal ball and predict the major points of ‘08.

Ring of Death Endemic to 360

Micromart a console repair company in the UK have recently announced via their website that they are no longer repairing Xbox 360s’ that have the Ring of Death, the influx of machines was so great that they couldn’t keep up with the load, and have now stated that it is endemic (to save you looking it up it’s “characteristic of”, or “prevalent in”) the 360.
