One limb at a time : Dead Space Review

Ok.  I will admit it.  I am a firm believer that EA is the Mother of cannon fodder videogames.  Maybe you agree with me.  Maybe you were just as much a skeptic as I was when I first set eyes on Dead Space.  Maybe you did not even play it.  Those who did not moved on to the stack of other Q4 releases that flocked store shelves  Those who did….well…we got spooked out of our seats, blew off limbs and worked our butts off to either fix the US Ishimura or get the hell off that ship.  All while having a blast doing it. Dead Space is, in my opinion, the “ Sleeper Hit ” of 2008! Read the rest of this entry »

Ultimate Accessory: Turtle Beach X4 5.1 Dolby Wireless Headset
Price: $150-199
2 AA Batteries

“ I’m going to make this short and simple.  I already have a Dolby surround sound system at my gaming station….Why did I need these? WHY did I  spend $150 on headphones?

Here’s my reason..”

“ First off, I’m a musician and producer of many genres of music (and looking to do some game music…hint..hint…nudge) and I have spent $225 dollars on Pioneer and Sennhieser flat wave stereo headphones for my music studio in the past……………
$150.… THAT’S A DEAL TO ME!  This has 5.1 Dolby surround sound?? I gotta hear EM!

And hear them I did! “ Read the rest of this entry »

BRAAAIIIINNNS *CHIK CHIK BOOM! * L4D Review

When I first heard that Valve, the developers of some of the best FPS, were doing a Co-op game based on “zombie” flicks … I instantly filled with excitement. I started thinking. . . “I’m a huge horror film fan and Left 4 Dead sounds awesome but how much fun will this actually be without getting boring?  Only one way to find out…. I’ll give it a shot. Valve hasn’t let me down” Read the rest of this entry »

XBL Radio Ver 81.5- “A little late, but it still counts”

Hosts:

Guests:

Note: We apologize for being late with the release of this show, but due to two holidays slamming together (New Years and Christmas) at the same time, things got hectic. Even though we are a little late, it still counts, you are getting the podcast either way. Enjoy the Show!

Topics Include:

Apparently Video Games are not recession proof, find out why?
Home is making Sony a killing despite problems, and Silverthorne has a problem with that.
World at War and Prince of Persia down to $49, could we be heading back to this price point for games during this generation?
New Mickey Mouse game being made by the creator of the Deus EX series, is the Wii to blame for all of these casual games?
Take Two spends $11 million dollars, just so they will not be bought out by EA. Was this decision really worth it in the end?
No Yay or Nay this week, instead, we talk about what all of us got for Christmas.
All this and more!

Fallout 3 Review

Bethesda has worked on games set in deep space, the middle ages, and even the Caribbean but none of them satisfied my fancy as much as nuclear wasted Washington, D.C.  Which is where Fallout 3 takes you this holiday season.

The year is 2277, 200 years after the bombs fell and 30 years after Fallout 2. Ya ya ya! We know (Well some of us do). Radiation, robots, nukes, and anarchy.  If you haven’t at all got a clue about the Fallout universe, do yourself a favor and Google.  I have a lot to go over and the back story, at this point, is the least important.

Introduction With A BANG!

[ A fuzzy video feed suddenly interrupts your weekly TV show, as you sit on your favorite recliner.  A giant globe wearing a gaming headset backdrops a wood grain podium.  The Dillinger Escape Plan sudden erupts through your surround sound speakers nearly waking the 70 year old neighbors next door.

A scruffily faced 24 year old man steps to the podium and instantly adjusts the podium microphone to his mouth.  He takes a second to brush off his Soilwork tee shirt, clears his throat with a forced cough, and looks directly at you through the camera’s eye. ] Read the rest of this entry »

Merry Christmas!

From all of us here at XBL Radio, we want to wish you, our community, and the community over at Platform Nation,  a very merry christmas. So sit back, take out those video games that you asked for, and enjoy them as much as possible. Have a little egg nog (if you are old enough, of course), stuff yourself up on some holiday ham ( i know i did), and enjoy this time of year, you deserve it.

I assure you, the 81.0 show will be up soon, but in the meantime, take a listen to the latest episode of the Friend request show, or leave us a review over on itunes.

Take care everybody, and happy holidays from all of us here at XBL Radio.
