Xbox 360

By Michael LaBossiere Image via Wikipedia While I’m rather fond of technology and gadgets, it is only recently that I tried Netflix streaming video on my Xbox 360. It was fairly easy to do: sign in via your Xbox Gold membership, download the Netflix app to the Xbox 360, get the code it provides, sign in to Netflix, i...

By Dave Zatz Looks like Roku and the Xbox 360 won’t be the only set-top boxes making the jump from 802.11g to the faster, further 802.11n spec this fall. While I’ve been scanning FCC filings lately, trolling for something specific, a new TiVo wireless adapter wasn’t on my radar. Fortunately, the Engadget...

By Ben Although the X41 features Dolby 7.1 surround sound, the benefits of a headset are just as noticeable in simple stereo for most non-audiophiles, and it’s hard to justify the price tag, especially when the Xbox 360 only natively supports 5.1 surround.

By Mevio It’s true that Nintendo have focused more on the casual gamer and families this console generation; however behind the scenes there is a strong core focus to be found.  Many Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners scoff at Nintendo Wii because all they see are TV commercials of the casual games [...]

Dragon Age: Origins is a 3D role-playing game for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Combat is based on animation instead of a number-based ruleset, so it's a little more friendly to people unfamiliar with traditional Western RPG design. You can either hack it out in real time or pause the fi...

By Ross Waters Since the initial title release on May 2005, the Forza Motorsport series has established itself as the champion of the Racing genre on the Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles, even challenging the Gran Turismo, Mario Kart and TOCA series for the title of the best race driving game around.

Forza Motorsport 3 Forza Motorsport 3 is pure heaven for fans of racing simulations, as this game truly does surpass anything ever released in the genre. We have a new king of racing simulations, and it is Forza Motorsport 3 on the Xbox 360.

The game in terms of the gameplay has been tweaked a great deal to make it the best playing wrestler since the days of the Nintendo 64 to be quite honest.

By Cazz Phoenix I see where Microsoft was going with this and they failed. They were trying to reach out and bridge the gaps left when people turned off the Xbox and got on their computer for other activities. The fact here is the Xbox is a game system 1st a media center 2nd and is not a computer at all. Even if they w...

By Richard Mitchell First, it could be that Bayonetta is just a really good game. Second, it's possible the editors of Famitsu really have a thing for hair witches. Given the involvement of Hideki Kamiya -- one of the principal minds behind Devil May Cry -- it's probably the former. At least, we certainly hope it'...

By MPG_PuzzleFighterFan Despite the rather small visual scale, with the necessary widened camera to accommodate the action, Activision captures the Marvel Civil War comic book saga in grand style.

By Stephen Totilo Through Connell and Microsoft, gamers can today buy 1930s-era cuffed trousers ($1) or a pair of Steampunk metal goggles ($1) to adorn the virtual person who represents them on their Xbox 360 — and who appears on their Xbox Live friends lists.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) continues to grow in popularity, and has an immense fan-base that has unfortunately never really been given the respect they deserve from the video game world.  That has all changed though with the release of UFC 2009 Undisputed, which delivers the most realisti...

A major factor to look into is where the stick places its start, select, and console (Xbox 360 Guide, PlayStation XMB) buttons. Accidentally pausing the game or dropping to the guide or XMB during a match is a big thing to avoid. The MadCatz sticks put the start/select buttons off of the face a...

Halo Wars Xbox 360 Review Developer: Ensemble Studios Publisher: Microsoft Release: March 3, 2009 Players: 1-6 Online Halo Wars is the best RTS ever to hit a video game console, hands down.  How about that for an opening sentence to a paragraph right at the beginning of a review?

By Jake I like this pad more than the Sega Saturn and NeoGeo gamepad and that is saying a lot. This is as good as the likes of Hori. The Xbox 360 needed this gamepad at system LAUNCH. I will never ever play a fighting game using the Xbox 360 controller ever again now that I have this bad sucka.

By Jake The music is infused hip hop beats with Japanese themes created by or supervised by the RZA. The game has some top notch dialog and voice acting with most of the cast of the anime.

By Adrian Covert This worked the first time, but because the UI on the Xbox media center was painstakingly laggy, I attempted to unlink the Xbox and PC, and try the setup again.

By Starlight b]The Xbox 360 Purchase[/b] b]The PlayStation 3 Purchase[/b] As for the Wii, I won't ever consider purchasing a gadget that isn't really a game console. Now, what about you? How'd you end up with the system(s) you have this generation?

By matt buchanan The Xbox 360 is the best console you can buy. Except it's inexplicably missing something the Wii and PS3 have: Wi-Fi. You could buy Microsoft's $90 dongle. Or you could follow our guide. Dongles are, by far, the easiest way to get your Xbox 360 on a wireless network. But they also tend to be the pric...

By Jake Today I got an HDMI cable to hook up my Xbox 360 to the Samsung LCD monitor that I am using with my Mac Mini.

By Mike Fahey The problem is, who – if anyone – at the publisher or developer actually played this game and decided it was a good thing to unleash on gamers?

By Starlight Capcom's Lost Planet: Extreme Condition has only been around a little while, but it has already jumped through its fair share of hoops.

By James If you’ve been playing Halo 3 since it came out back in September, then you’ve probably mastered all the maps; you’ve learned the chokeholds, weapon locations, and strategies to get it all done in record time.
