A Review By Shodan2020 in Xbox LIVE Arcade » Action
I was born in 1982. This accounts for a lot of my likes and loves from music tastes to videogames. That being said. I was raised on the old Mega Man NES games.

Let's not beat around the bush; Castle Crashers is an excellent game. With that, however, there are a number of flaws/glitches in the final build. Let's start with the good. The first thing that I love (and that you'll notice) is the art style of the game. This is the hard...

I have found that writing an introduction to a review for Braid has been much more difficult than I imagined. So, if you'll all bare with me, I guess I will start it off with this; Braid is the greatest gaming experience so far on this generation of consoles. Pretentious?

A Review By Siraris in Xbox LIVE Arcade » Action
There I was going about my life, living in sheer ignorance that a game by the name of Aces of the Galaxy ever existed, when I saw the demo pop up on Xbox Live Arcade today. Seeing that it was a space shooter, I instantly downloaded the demo, as that is exactly the type of game that XBLA and PSN need right now. After a quick download, I jumped i...
