Yes, I’m British. I spell “rumour” with two u’s. What U going to do about it? Well hopefully you’ll have no time to do anything, because either you’ll be embedded in Snake’s final mission on the Playstation 3, or engrossed in one of Snake’s first on the Xbox 360. Read more…

XBLA Rejected Cave Shooters

Cave Shooters on XBLA

At the beginning of the month I was puzzled why 5pb, in bringing Cave shooters Ketsui and DoDonPachi Dai Ou Jou Black Label to the Xbox 360 in Japan, would choose retail as their distribution medium when digital download seems so much more fitting. As it turns out, they were given no choice… by Microsoft. Read more…

XBLA: Omega 5 Review

While Omega 5 may be easy to overlook as just another Xbox Live Arcade shoot’em up, to do so would be a bad decision.

Whether you’re in it for the novelty of a Japanese developer creating an Xbox Live game, the fancy HD graphics, the absolutely jammin’ soundtrack, or just the thrill of the bullet dodging; Omega 5 is a game that, despite initial appearances, proves to be both accessible and addictively fun.

All I want for Christmas is to play online, but Microsoft won’t let me
