Xbox Not-So-Rewarding
In an effort to try to give something back to the gamers, Microsoft created Xbox Live Rewards, a scheme which rewards you for playing games or doing menial tasks like filling in a survey every month.

Last Weeks XBL Activity
Major Nelson has posted the Xbox Live Activity charts for what was most played from the week starting February 18th and it seems while Dead Space 3 was hyped up so much, it doesn’t appear to be getting much use online and there’s a surprising entry at number nine.
Read MoreWhy You Should Ditch Xbox Live for PS Plus
Yes, it’s one of those posts, you don’t have to read it, but I would appreciate it if you would at least skim through it. This isn’t because someone else posted an article like this just recently, it was something planned when the latest Instant Game Collection was announced, similar views are purely coincidental.
Read MoreXBL Activity Last Week
Major Nelson has released details of which games were most played on Xbox Live for the week starting December 3rd, also the top Arcade and Indie games, then finally, the top 20 Games for Windows titles.
Read MoreOn Xbox Live (Nov 27-Dec 10)
Plenty to choose from on Xbox Live as some classic SEGA fighting action arrives on the Arcade, Mass Effect 3: Omega launches and Grand Theft Auto IV and the add-ons are Deal of the Week.
Read MoreMass Effect 3 Starts a Rebellion
Available right now and for absolutely NOTHING is the FREE multiplayer content for Mass Effect 3 called the Rebellion Pack which adds a bunch of new stuff for you to enjoy new maps and characters, there’s also a trailer to show you more.
Read MoreXbox Live Content Until June 11th
Streets of Rage for 800 MSP? I know you get all three games for that, but come on, money for old rope? A good deal will start from the 6th of June as Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare Collection is cut by 50% to 800 MSP, as well as Borderlands add-ons.
Read MorePeople WILL Pay Full Price for GoD
I’ve always thought of Xbox Live’s Games on Demand service is over-priced and I don’t think I’m alone in thinking so, Pav Bhardwaj doesn’t think so, but who is he to come to the defense of Games on Demand? Oh, he’s the UK Project Manager, apparently.
Read MoreNetflix Xbox 360 App Updated
Major Nelson has announced that an update to the Netflix app on Xbox 360 is now available, bringing a few new changes and cloud support so that you can access Netflix on other Xbox 360 consoles and the ability to make the picture full screen if a movie has borders.
Read MoreMicrosoft Pushing Media Apps
I saw a bit of a silly comment today saying that according to Microsoft, when people have finished playing games, they like to watch something, whether it be a video or stream something via an app and I thought, yeah, because you make these apps like Crackle available for free, of course people will watch stuff through them.
Read MoreXbox Live Content Till March 19th
Major Nelson has posted information about what is available now and coming up next week on Xbox Live, such content is the long awaited I Am Alive and DLC sales featuring Borderlands and Konami games as well as other releases.
Read MoreXbox 360 Gets An Update
A what? Something that hasn’t happened before, an update for the Xbox 360 is now available. Nothing has been specifically detailed as to what it fixes except a problem with colour that some people were having, although the Official Xbox Magazine say that it lays the, “smackdown on a niggling colour issue in particular”, right… ok.
Read MoreFIFA 12 Featured XBL Stuff
You just know that there is going to be downloadable content and you also know that because it’s EA, it’s not going to be free although, to be fair, Microsoft are partly to blame for that with their ‘only one free DLC’ policy, but this is football we’re talking about here! Gamers of previous FIFA titles that like to play online against real opponants obviously need a Gold membership, not just any membership, but for twelve months if they’re going to play until the next version and to keep the…
Read MoreThe Cost of DLC
As a kind of follow-up to What Price Determines a Quality Game?, I saw that someone had linked to a Gamespot article about the latest Call of Duty: Black Ops downloadable content (DLC), while mentioning how much all the DLC has cost so far.
Read MoreTrophies or Achievements?
This isn’t a PlayStation 3 versus Xbox 360 war post, it’s a question for gamers and if you’re a gamer, you don’t care what system you play on and just enjoy gaming. This is more to do with something I’ve had in my head for some time now and due to the relatively good success of the What Consists a ‘Limited Edition’ article, I figured I’d go with another off the top of my head feature.
