Matrix throwing cheap shots November 27, 2005

Amidst the launch day riots and muggings some unlucky 360 owners have been reporting of crashes and freezing on their new console.

Perfect Dark Zero not as bad as we thought? November 21, 2005

For a while there it looked as though Microsoft’s sure fire seller for the Xbox 360 was going to be a huge disappointment. No one really had anything good to say about the damn thing. On one of Gaming Steve’s podcasts he had a whole round table of people who were bashing the game … [...]
