The Experience is Here!
Just wanted to post and let everyone know that the big NXE is here and ready to be downloaded to every X-Box 360 around the world. There are many new features being added to this update and the main one is the entire different look of the dashboard mixed with the new avatars that are shown above. As soon as the update is complete, you will see a cool intro movie and are automatically sent in to create your own avatar. This is basically like a Mii from the Wii, but X-Box’s version. You can customize your character to how he looks and what he wears. You also get a cool avatar gamerpic that you can customize as well. The dashboard is also overhauled with this whole 3D feel but the cool thing is the people who liked the blades, it is still in XBL by pressing the guide button. There seems to be many new tweaks and improvements to this and I think it is going to interesting to see what all Microsoft can do with it. Some other things to not forget is the party system where u can chat with up to 8 people at the same time and the deal with netflix to watch movies instantly.

Site Update:
Well, as everyone knows, the site is done! The music which I had a few problems with previously are now fixed and I am now working on getting more updated content, along with pictures for each game. With the pictures, I am having 8 pictures along with the boxshot on the bottom of each review in the Extras area, you should be able to see them. Sooner or later, each game will have images that you can save and download if you would like. These images are taken from Gamespot, so if you want more of these types of images, check them out. To show the new image format, check out any PS3 game and I will be updating the current consoles first, X-Box 360 next and Wii last. (DS and PSP probably after) As for game updates, these are what you can expect towards the end of November.

Resistance: Fall of Man was one of the first games to be released on the PS3. This game is a FPS that puts you in a war against an alien race known as the Chimera who are trying to take over all of England and sooner or later, the world. This game has great graphics with believable environments and a ton of weapons to kill some Chimera with. The campaign is somewhat difficult with a somewhat intelligent enemy to face and it is very replayable. As for multiplayer, it offers a good amount of variety and support for up to 40 players. However, the visual style and gameplay is a copy off of other FPS games, the story of the game isn’t well developed, and two player cooperative mode isn’t available online. Overall though, if you want a new FPS for the PS3 then I would definitely give this a try, especially if you are looking to get Resistance 2 anytime soon.

Gears of War 2 has finally arrived and it is everything that you wanted in a sequel plus more. This game has all new, great looking environments mixed with great audio which creates a very immersive Gears of War universe. It also has new weapons, new grenades, new melee attacks that range in what weapon you use. As for multiplayer, they have some new multiplayer modes, including Horde, which is a wave of Locust and you must survive through all 50 waves! The coop support has improved with the ability of having independent difficulties per player and you can drop right in if you want. Overall, this is the same Gears of War experience that you have come to know and enjoy. If you liked the first one, you will most definitely enjoy this one and probably buy it.

Well, all of the music has been updated and should be working perfectly. If there is a dead link somewhere, send me an email or comment on that specific page of the bad link. Thanks. Also, I have a lot of games that don’t have music, I haven’t gone through a lot of the selection at Galbadia Hotel, but if you have a certain song that wants played for a specific game, email it to me or just post a common with the name of the song for the game (and maybe a link to either download or reference other people to go to)
Thanks again for waiting and sorry for the minor inconvenience.
