Song of the Week [#74]

Catchy song I just found out about while surfing the internet!

Video Game Spotlight: Beyond Good and Evil

Beyond Good and Evil was released in 2003. Seven years later, I finally got around to playing it, and it is an excellent game.

You play as Jade, and you have a sidekick (who is a big pig) who helps you out during the game. Combat is very fun and fast, and the graphics still look great years later.

Definitely give this game a try. You can even watch the video gameplay here.

Original Xbox Live Goes Bye-Bye

I never thought this day would come. I never thought this day would even be possible. But April 15th is the day the Original Xbox finally becomes obsolete. Why? Because Xbox Live will be discontinued for all Original Xbox games, which means having the system connected to the internet would be a waste of space.

One thing is for sure, the time I’ve spent on the Xbox online has been a phenomenal journey. What started out with a 2 month free trial for Halo 2 lasted years and years. While I will be moving the Original Xbox out of the living room finally, I don’t know if I’ll be putting it into storage just yet. There’s still a few games I have yet to finish.

While the Xbox LIVE service for the Xbox 360 might be evolving, no one knows for sure what is in store for all of us..

Now that I will soon have space in the living room, maybe it’s time to think about purchasing a Playstation 3. After all, Uncharted and Heavy Rain does look good. Can’t say that about all my Original Xbox games now, can I? : )
