The Orange Box Review 2007-10-20 07:56:20 The Orange
Box is by far the best deal for the Xbox 360 so far. You get 5 games for the price of one. Included in this box (It is just a regular Xbox 360 game case with a regular Xbox 360 disc and all 5 games are on that disc) is Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2 Episode 1 and 2, Portal and the highly anticipated game Team Fortress 2 (Team Fortress 2 was supposed to come out back in 1997!).
Most of you just like me have already beaten Half-Life 2 and Episode 1 before and you are probably saying: “So now I’m only getting 3″. That is still 3 for the price of 1.
There have been many discussions on the internet over “What is the best game in the box?”. Your most common answer will be “Team Fortress 2″. I vote against this. I think that the best game out of all these 5 games is Portal. Why? Because it is perfect. Like I have said in earlier posts, there is nothing wrong with the game. The graphics are good and no glitches have been found yet (By Me
Portal Song Still Alive and Lyrics 2007-10-15 20:28:20 If you have not bought The Orange Box for the Xbox 360 yet, then buy it now! It is only $59.99 and includes 5 games! In this 5 games comes one of the best games ever made by man, Portal
. There is not one problem with portal. The music is great (When used), the voice narrating the whole time was probably the FIRST voice NOT to get annoying in a video game for talking the whole time, the graphics are fairly good, no glitches found and the story is so unique and is entertaining for any Half Life player. I guess you can say that Portal is perfect. If there is one thing wrong with the game, then please inform me of it (And I don’t take “The Game is Too Short” for an answer).
If you are one of those people that beat the game, I am sure that you noticed the ending song at the credits and got some laughs out of it if you listened to the lyrics. If you did not, here are the lyrsics:

This was a triumph

HUGE SUCCESS

Halo 3 Glitches 2007-10-08 20:53:54 Here is one of many glitches that we found. Some glitches we know can not be controlled, but a 3 year piece of work for a next-gen console we think should have a little less glitches. Don’t take this wrong. We rated Halo 3 9.5/10, we are just putting it out there that there are many glitches to the game. I guess what we are getting to is maybe Bungie should work on some patches. They are apparently working on new maps for Halo 3 and maybe, just maybe, they are working on patches too (Most likely Not).
But look on the bright side. Don’t think of those glithes that make you want to throw your Xbox out your window, think of the fun ones. Not all glitches are bad. In fact, most of them are quite amusing.
If you are looking for a fun glitch to do, then maybe try this.
Steps:
1. Invite a friend to a game of Forge and chose Sandtrap
2. Both of you get into 2 different Elephants (The Huge vehicle)
3. Both of you meet in the middle between the two pyramid-like structures fa Read more:Glitches
The Simpsons Game Achievements Revealed 2007-10-08 11:11:45 Daking240.com has revealed all the achievements for the Simpsons
Game that is coming out October 30th. They can be viewed here
As you can see there are going to be many cool features to the game being told by these achievements. One that may catch your eye is the one called “Pwned”. As you can see there is 0 gamer score given for it. The description tells us that once you die a lot, you will get this. It looks like the one achievement that you will NOT want to get.
You may also notice the achievement named “Hot Coffee”. This is for completing the time challenge for the Grand Theft Auto-like game called “Grand Theft Scratchy”.
Overall, it looks like The Simpsons game is going to be filled with fun!
Our Expected rating: 7.5/10

Here is what it says when you go to flip it back over:
Crysis Coming For Xbox 360 2007-10-07 12:33:04 Makers of Crysis
say that a console version may be made. No official statement of it happening has been made yet. They say that if a console version was to be made, it would not only be released for Xbox
360 but for the PS3 also.
“I ruled out any development whatsoever because there is no development on consoles. But what’s happening is, is people are asking me if it’s possible. Of course. You can get Crysis even on the Nintendo DS. But not that Crysis - you cannot get Crysis as it is on PC on any console. What you would have to do is compromise the design and the level design – in order of the PS3 and Xbox 360 regards you have to fulfill the memory constraints. Even if you stream you would have to consider the constraints. You could stream, you could do that, we know that.” - Directly from an interview with the creators with Game Informer.

Halo 3 Glitch 2007-10-03 19:57:21 Major glitch that we found in Halo 3 (No we did not steal/edit this…WE took this):
Halo 3 Review 2007-10-03 19:36:18 When released on the 25th of September, Halo 3 sold over one million copy. Now the question comes out “Was it worth the 3 year wait for Halo 3?”. Our answer is yes.
Halo 3 is one of the BEST first person shooters ever created. It has stunning graphics, game play and A.I. With Halo: Combat Evolved, you would play campaign, which was not that good in the first place, and then you would just leave the game at the back of your shelf to rot. In Halo 2, Bungie brought us some multiplayer and it become more fun. Now in Halo 3, you can NOT get bored of it. Campaign alone is fun but, the multiplayer side is even better.
Instead of just the basic multiplayter in every FPS, Bungie decided to add some awesome new features. These features are: Forge and Theater. In forge you are able to place things and take away things like vehicles and weapons from maps. It is a great way to plan for those big online parties with 16 people. In theater, you can pause fast forward and go bac
Two Worlds is an Oblivion Doom 1 Style - Two Worlds Review 2007-11-08 20:20:39
When I heard and saw trailers for Two Worlds
for the Xbox 360 a while back I was pretty pumped for the game. The trailer seemed to show good graphics and it looked like a lot of fun. Although noticing right away from the trailer that Two Worlds
is going to be a copy of Oblivion
, I still thought it might be good. Later on when the game came out I was going to buy the game until the first day I heard from a friend that it was one of the worst games he had ever played. I did not really believe that it was the worst but, I did take his word that is was not the best and saved my money.
Today, like always, I went on the Xbox 360 marketplace and looked for new demos. I saw Two Worlds and decided to check it out and see how bad it was. So it finishes downloading and I go to play it. Right when the main menu came up, I knew this was going to be just like Oblivion (I personally LOVE Oblivion by the way). So I pick my race and stuff and start playing. The second I saw real game play, my jaw Read more:Style
How to make a GOOD Halo 3 Machinima 2007-12-03 13:20:26 Today we are going to be talking about how to make a good Halo 3 machinima. One of the best parts of Halo 3 is how easy it is to make a machinima with it. All what you will need is the following:
- An Xbox 360
- Halo 3
- A Microphone For THE COMPUTER. Not your Xbox 360 Mic
- Some sort of video editing software (Movie Maker would be fine)
- Actors and voice actors
- A computer
- A video capture card (optional)
So first you will want to create a script for your machinima. All good machinimas have scripts and story lines written before hand. Now round up a bunch of your friends for acting. If your machinima requires more than 4 characters then you will need a friend to bring an Xbox 360 for system link. So once everyone is set up and ready to start working for a good couple of hours or so, give everyone a copy of the script. Now you just do what the script says. Here are some tips for the acting and script part:
- Put lots of funny jokes in the script
- Keep the episode short (4-6 min) Read more:Machinima
