"Xbox LIVE Arcade has already taken in over $46 million this year according to analyst firm Forecasting & Analyzing Digital Entertainment, LLC (FADE) as the digital distribution of games continues to grow. Through the end of June, they forecast that sales on Xbox LIVE Arcade has 36% over the previous year thanks to special promotions like the LIVE Arcade Block Party and discounts on games."
"Some great Xbox Live Arcade games were released in 2009 from Shadow Complex to Battlefield 1943. 2009 was a year that got Xbox 360 owners to plunk down their MS Points. Microsoft wanted to know which games Xbox 360 owners liked best so put up a poll on Xbox Live for people to vote on their favorite games. The results came in today and the motorcycle stunt game, Trials HD, came away with the Best Overall Arcade Game of 2009."
"It’s a bold statement I must admit. I openly declare that we are witnessing the end of gaming as we know it, a statement that will become more apparent as 2010 marches on, and the following years unfold.
CES 2010 (Consumer Electronics Show) has shown just how the major three 1st Party Publishing Houses (Microsoft-Sony Playstation-Nintendo) are now pushing strongly into the “Social Media Networks” and “Family Unit Entertainment” realms. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see where this ..."
"The release of Project Natal prior to the year’s end was once again confirmed, along with the fact that it will work with all existing Xbox 360 consoles. Further discussing new ideas, an interesting proposition was mentioned in the fact that Microsoft is considering allowing gamers to purchase a game on Xbox 360, and play it on their PC. Would this fantastic suggestion ever come to light in the retail space, however, Electronic Theatre would be very surprised indeed."
Christmas is right around the corner, but there are still a few shopping days left. What if you still have to get a gift for the casual gamer on your list? Not sure what to get if it doesn't involve epic RPG quests or shooting zombie hordes? Don't worry: Spawn Kill has you covered with their guide for games and accessories for the casual gamers on your lists.
"Of the five on-disc games, Boggle and Yahtzee prove to be the most enjoyable, offering instant gratification either with multiple players or solo play. That every game is playable online – and compatible with those who have purchased the Xbox LIVE Arcade releases – is a saving grace, as both Sorry! and Sorry! Sliders fall heavily when no human opposition is available. All of the games feature customisable rules, the depth to which a player can tailor their games dependant on the depth of the ..."
"Electronic Arts have finally brought Hasbro Family Game Night to the Nintendo DS. After launching late last year on Wii and at Easter this year on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, with an Xbox 360 retail release having also arrived recently, the Nintendo DS version couldn’t come soon enough. The fact that Hasbro Family Game Night for Nintendo DS features a number of the Hasbro games included in the Wii release of Hasbro Family Game Night Vol. 2 may confuse some, but it’s quite obvious from the titles i..."

""If you’re anything like me, you enjoy a good run for the money with words. Letters, words, sentences, paragraphs - English is kind of my passion. It makes sense then, that I should enjoy games relating to letters. If you’re not familiar with Boggle, it’s quite a popular favorite that’s been around for years. At its core, it’s a simple word-find game. If you’ve ever picked up the Sunday paper to seek out the words in the week’s edition of word search, then you can play and enjoy Boggle.""

"Outside of actual gameplay, there are several factors I find you can look at to determine whether a game was bad or not. If writing about the game was more enjoyable than actually playing it, it’s probably a bad game.
If you suddenly become acutely aware of every tiny mess around your home that demands your immediate attention, its probably bad.
And if you find yourself day-dreaming about introducing the broken remnants of the game’s disc to the flesh of it’s creator, it seems safe to ass..."
"I had my reservations with Hasbro’s Family Game Night when I originally heard about this Live Arcade game. It is hard enough getting the kids (and myself!) off the console and back to the table with the family with some old fashioned board game fun and what is presented here is intended to do just that.
However personal feelings aside, I am here to review the individual title, Connect Four which is a downloadable component intended to be played through the free Family Game Night Title.
