Alright its time for round 2. Round 2 will take place at 7pm pst on Wednesday August 30. Here are the rules, I don’t care who starts up the game as long as it gets started, but you must have standard uno, standard deck, NO CUSTOM RULES and ALL private seats. Now once the game is started, you will continue to play till someone has 3, yes 3 wins. If it is the computer, keep going till a human player has 3 wins. Now it is up to the winner to email who one, if I get no emails about that match, I will consider it a no show on everyones part. Now this is all an honesty tournament here. I can’t sit in on every match and watch so its up to you guys to police each other. Now the 2nd round will start this Wednesday at 7pst UNLESS all parties in that match agree on a different time, but I MUST have all results by Friday morning and then we will continue the finals where someone will be declared the UNO Champion and I will award them with some free MS Points. If you have any more questions feel free to email me at Steve@xblradio.com

Now for the bracket (there were some empty spot so I reinserted the xbl radio staff)

Match 1: ssab, goverland, the other guy 1, NXJ NightHawk
Match 2: Steve519, MysteryMVP, Maniac Mic
Match 3: TJ Iverson, Favid 56, Rusty Ranchero
Match 4: Rayjay2, MrCarpaltunnel, Tommyboy 99

Now I had a chance to play this game at PAX and it is so cool. It’s called Castle Crashers and The Behemoth is making this one. You might remember them, they made the critically acclaimed Alien Hominid (which btw is coming to the Xbox Live Acrade this Fall). But this game is awesome, the graphics were beautifully cell shaded and the animations were great, and a ton of action going on while your playing. This game will be co-op with up to 4 buddys playing with you and its coming out early 2007 so keep an eye out for this one, I can promise you that you won’t be dissapointed.

Check out my YouTube video for Castle Crashers!

Alright the bracket is made, here are the rules, I don’t care who starts up the game as long as it gets started, but you must have standard uno, standard deck, NO CUSTOM RULES and ALL private seats. Now one thing that I am sorry for is that I couldn’t set the groups the way I wanted to, with day players and night players, but since you don’t have to pay to play oh well I guess, I did do what I could. So with that in mind NOT everyone is going to show, thats to be expected, and again sorry, I was limited to programing restrictions. Now once the game is started, you will continue to play till someone has 3, yes 3 wins. If it is the computer, keep going till a human player has 3 wins. Now it is up to the winner to email who one, if I get no emails about that match, I will consider it a no show on everyones part. Now this is all an honesty tournament here. I can’t sit in on every match and watch so its up to you guys to police each other. Now the first round will start this Wednesday at 7pst UNLESS all parties in that match agree on a different time, but I MUST have all results by Friday morning and then we will continue the next round probably Monday. If you have any more questions feel free to email me at Steve@xblradio.com

Microsoft isn’t bluffing: Log on to Xbox Live® within the first 48 hours after launch and download Texas Hold ‘em completely free of charge! This full-featured poker title for Xbox Live Arcade on Xbox 360â„¢ will launch on Wednesday, August 23, at 0800 GMT (1:00 A.M. Pacific Time).

For 48 hours only—through 0800 GMT (1:00 A.M. Pacific Time) Friday, August 25—as a special limited-time only promotion, all Xbox Live Gold and Silver members can download the game at no charge.Starting at 0801 GMT (1:01 A.M. Pacific Time) Friday, August 25, Texas Hold ‘em will be available for 800 Microsoft Points.

I have to say that this works for me, I can’t complain about it because I will get it for free my only thing is how are they (Microsoft) going to justify the others paying 10 dollars for this game if you don’t get it in the first 48 hours especially when UNO was only 5 dollars and that was an awesome game.

Pac-Man will be out on Wednesday (8-09-06)on Xbox Live Arcade and if history repeats itself the game will differ from the original Arcade classic in which way only time will tell. Make sure you download the demo first before dropping your 400pts. For me I will pass on this title because I had it on the first version of XBLA and don’t think that I should have to pay for it on the 360 version of the arcade. If you do download this game please give us your take on it here at XBL Radio.

-TOG out-

XBL Radio is hosting a free UNO tournament for our listeners. This is free to enter and you will have a chance to win 1600 MS points if you win the whole thing. All you have to do is post here by Friday the 11th of August by 12 pm pst with your gamertag. We would like to also know when your availability is because we have to be fair to everyone and we will try to get all that want in to be able to play so we will go out of our way to schedule night gamers with other night gamers and day gamers with day gamers. This tournament will start on Sunday the 13th and continue till we have one winner. I will post a tournament bracket later to see the results and who your playing. It will be up to the winner to let me know who won the match. The rules will be simple, you don’t show you lose and standard scoring no custom scoring. If you have any questions feel free to email me at Steve@xblradio.com or ask here in the post.

Make sure you come back to the site for more info, I will post the tournament bracket up on Sunday and you need to see that to see when you play.

Rent is due for EA, and its time for you to pay up, thats right, new picture packs and themes for ‘NCAA ‘07’ are now available. Each school theme is 150 points each and each school picture pack is 60 points each.

This content is only available for United States Xbox Live members.

I for one, am tired of these dollar here, dollar there things, if I spend 60 dollars for the damn game it should include some damn picture packs and themes, I shouldn’t have to spend money to show I like the game. So far very few games has done this, cloning Clyde, table tennis. I really think the community needs to be behind me on this one and let the big companies know that this isn’t right and we are not going to pay for something that should have been included if you spend so much for the game.
