Halo 3 – First Impressions

I got my copy of Halo 3 yesterday on launch day. I was a bit strapped for time, but managed to get in about an hour of gaming on the new Halo 3. The first note was only played on coop mode with my Sean, so I don’t have any single player campaign impressions yet. […]

Halo 3 Released Today

Today is the long awaited release date of Halo 3 for the Xbox 360. Sean and I have been waiting for this game for some time now. We have spent many, many hours playing Halo 1 and Halo 2 on both the Xbox and Xbox 360. They are good enough that we keep going back […]

Expensive Video Gaming Fall Coming

It’s shaping up to be an expensive fall for video games. There is a whole slate of promising video games coming out that I don’t know if I will be able to resist. First, on September 25th, Halo 3 becomes available. As avid Halo fans that have finished the first two episodes many times over, […]

World of Warcraft

Lately, I haven’t played much America’s Army (AA). In fact, I think I have played twice in the last six months. Most of this was due to internet issues with my provider. He panicked one day when he had some port scans going on and closed everything down. 🙄 Ports required to be open for […]

Madden 08 – First Impressions

Okay, time for some first impressions on the new Madden 08 football video game for the Xbox 360. I have to admit that I have not been a fan of Madden over the years. In fact, I have been downright vocal against the series. In my opinion, EA has done what it can to ruin […]

Weekend Fun

This past weekend was extremely busy, but very fun for us. The weekend started Friday night with us enjoying the relatively new Blu-Ray player. We have been watching many old movies in high def. Some are simple upconverts and not a tremendous increase in resolution. Others have been remastered and are downright beautiful. This weekend […]

New Theater System

As mentioned in a previous post, I have replaced most of the components in my home theater system. I had set up the current system about 4 years ago when we moved into our current house in Arizona. HDTV was still relatively new and some wanted features weren’t available then. Some of these features were […]

Boardgames on the Xbox 360

As my loyal readers (gotta be at least 8 of ya) know, we are pretty avid boardgamers. The family loves sitting down on the weekend and spending hours playing boardgames. Actually, the kids would love to play even more. Our game closet at home must have 50 different boardgames in it. Lately, the boardgame industry […]

Sean’s Baseball Team Moves To 2 – 0

If it’s Spring time and Saturday, it must be time for a baseball game for Sean. However, today hardly seemed like Spring as the temperature was only in the mid 50’s with a chilly wind. It’s been in the upper 70’s or low 80’s for the past couple of weeks. Once again, Sean’s team was […]

Back To Normal

It’s time to get back to more normality tomorrow. It’s been a hectic start of the year at work. It culminated in the business trip last week. The kids and Suzanne also get back to normal with a regular dance week and a full week of school. We had a nice relaxing weekend and are […]
