Have a Kinect? Get Haunt Free!!!

Image
Happen to have a Kinect setting around? maybe in your closet collecting dust after the noveltiness wore off? Well it may be time to drag that sucker out. After having multiple weeks on discount, Microsoft has decided to offer Haunt free to gamers that have the Kinect peripheral. The game looks pretty good, and ive read good things about it, plus free is the right price for anyone. Before you go and jump in the Kinect sensor must be plugged into your system before the offer will show (Sorry all you non-kinect users).  

Microsoft made me buy things!!!

Image
This week, Microsoft dropped prices on some of their Games on Demand games. The games range from 320-400 Micrsoft points a piece ($4-$5). I dropped 800 points on Open Season and Surfs Up, and then spent my remaining 200 points on Sonic CD (which is also on sale this week). Now that my account is drained, I can go pad my gamerscore with these easy cheevo games. Anyone wanting to boost their GS should really look into this sale. - Alone in the Dark - 400 Microsoft Points - $4.99 Gamestop - Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII - 400 Microsoft Points - $7.99 Gamestop - Bolt - 400 Microsoft Points - $14.99 Gamestop - Bomberman Act: Zero - 400 Microsoft Points - $3.99 Gamestop - Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs - 400 Microsoft Points - $17.99 Gamestop - Conan - 320 Microsoft Points - $4.99 Gamestop - Dark Void - 400 Microsoft Points - $5.99 Gamestop - FaceBreaker - 400 Microsoft Points - $6.99 Gamestop - Kameo - 400 Microsoft Points - $4.99 Gamestop - Meet the Robinsons

New Quickplay Feature

Image
I was messing around with my IPhone today and was on my Xbox Live app and noticed this new feature.  It has been on there for a few days I believe but I had to check it out. The new Quickplay feature allows you to connect and control certain things on your Xbox via your phone.   It seems like it is a little peek of what to come with the new SmartGlass feature yet to release.  I took a couple of screen shots to show you what it looks like.  Basically you can select recent activity that you had on your Xbox and select it from your phone.  Once its loaded on the Xbox you have this generic controller that works just like your normal controller.  Great for Netflix and even can use on a game though a very slight lag is present. Let me know if you have used it and tell me what you think about it.

Video game trinket collectors, its happening again. Pokemon are invading McDonalds again. After last years success, the folks over a McD's are bringing back Pikachu and the gang and some trading cards to go along with them . I personally enjoy getting these things and using them to sit on my shelves to spice up my game room, or even my office desk . Looks like its low-calorie Happy Meals for lunch this week. Starts June 15th (already started)

The Greatest Stories Ever

Image
History has given us many great story writers, and if my thoughts are correct, we now have a modern day Mark Twain among us. You may ask yourself, "where to can I lay my unworthy eyes on such tales and become enlightened". Truth be told you wont find enlightenment such as this is a book, but you will find them sales ads. Mainly sales ads from DailySteals.com. Ladies and Gentleman, I must warn you to lock up all forms of currency, because these ads are so enticing, you will spend your life savings buying items you may not need, or ever need, just by their sheer awesomeness and linguistic uses. If you feel yourself ready: Click the Links Below and be prepared to have your mind blown!!! Black Eyed Peas - The Experience (WII) PS3 Controller Wii Console Memorex Wii Motion Controller Side Walk Chalk This is just a meer tip of the iceberg of awesomeness. Go now and seek words of truth and post up your favorties in the comments below. OH MY GOD! I CAN SEE FOREVER

Thumbstick Reader: Halo Glasslands

Image
I'm a fan of Halo, many of you already know this. I enjoy every aspect of the Halo Universe from Arcadia to the Yucatan Peninsula, I even enjoyed the ODST spin-off. Reach has been the only game to leave a bad taste in my mouth. So being such a big fan of the universe, and a yearning to learn more and more about the people and places that make up these worlds, I have spread out from just the games, and dove into the novels. Fall of Reach was the first one introduced to me and I've been into the novel series ever since. I just recently finished reading one of the two most recent releases in the universe. Halo Glasslands. Glasslands picks up where Ghost of Onyx last left us. Halsey, Mendez and a group of SPARTAN-II's and SPARTAN-III's hurling through space, stranded in a Shield world created by the Forerunners and sealed in a slip space bubble. The book also details the creation of Kilo-Five team. Assembled by ONI Intelligence Director Margaret Parangosky, who is assi

Catching up on E3

Image
Today my windows phone failed me. Last year, while my droid was working, I was able to live stream the E3 2011 on my awesome Atrix 4g. This year though im using a Samsung Windows phone. No problem I thought, Microsoft released a E3 Companion this year, no way they will release something not supported for their phones....
