Xbox 360 dashboard – Versatile but messy

By Iain 18 November 2009Films/TV, Internet, Music, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

You may have heard that the Xbox 360 has recently had lots of Web 2.0 functionality added. My initial reaction to it all is that the dashboard is so cluttered now! My Community, separate Music and Video Marketplaces (why would anyone want to download music videos to their 360 when they can most likely watch them for free on Youtube?),…

Dan is the man

By Iain 13 November 2009VideogamesNo Comments

Following on from this post, I just thought I'd let you know how I got on last night - It was spectacular and full of victories. Sure, I didn't win every single match, but there were some proper beatings I gave out. Twice I bested some random people who had over 2000 Battle Points - It's great fun when Dan…

0-D Beat Drop

By Iain 13 November 2009Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

This Wednesday on Xbox Live Arcade, 0-D Beat Drop was released. Now, always wanting to give every game a fair crack of the whip, I downloaded the trial version. Wow, it was just awful. Combining a Puyo-Puyo or Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo style puzzler with a rhythm based block clearing mechanism just does not work if you ask me.…

How to win at Street Fighter IV forever

By Iain 12 November 2009VideogamesNo Comments

Man, I love Street Fighter IV and I love this video. Annoying people with Dan is sometimes more fun than actually fighting properly. My favourite character is Cammy, I'd say I'm best with her, but I have more fun playing Dan. He is, without a doubt, the worst character in the game, but for some reason I get on better…

7 on 7

By Iain 8 November 2009Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

Oh bollocks. Yesterday I forgot to go into a Halo 3 playlist on the 7th of the month with 7xp again. Will I ever get any more Vidmaster Achievements? We're having a go at Annual (last level of Halo 3 on Legendary with the Iron skull on and everyone driving Ghosts) tomorrow, let's hope that goes well. And I missed…

My memories of Phantasy Star Online

By Iain 4 November 2009Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

Back in the day, you couldn't beat a bit of PSO on the Dreamcast. I remember begging my Mum to let me play it online, she agreed eventually but I had to pay the bill every month. I had many characters throughout my adventures with DC PSO, but the three pictured below are the three that I enjoyed most. You…

The photographs were taken mostly by Stu.

CAUTION! There are 20 thumbnails!

SAIKYO!

By Iain 30 October 2009VideogamesNo Comments

Hello. If you answer no to any of the following questions, then this page is not for you. Did you come here following the link in my Xbox Live profile? Did you just play me at Street Fighter IV? Did you lose? Was I Dan? OH DEAR! You clearly need practise, and lots of it. If you answered yes to…

Beautiful (Boring) Katamari

By Iain 22 October 2009VideogamesNo Comments

What on Earth possessed the developers of Beautiful Katamari to put a "100 hours played" Achievement in there? I had finished the game, wrapped up most of the other Achievements* and had pretty much seen all the game had to offer before I'd even got the "50 hours played" award. Worse still, I have no idea how much longer I…
