This post relates to: New Xbox Experience

Yesterday the NXE Preview program was released to another group of people and I was one of those people this time round. Of course the first thing I did was make a 3-D representation of
The new Dashboard
 myself. The choices you have at the moment is a nice selection for features, but the choices for clothing are small. We can all guess of course Microsoft will sell a bunch of liscenced content for clothing and all that other stuff.  
The dashboard is really nice and feels more like an environment rather than a place you are stuck in before the game begins. The content is easier to find. The guide botton has also been revamped and works much much much better. There are some new live features as well, which I haven't been able to test because I am not a Gold member right now ( I need to upgrade again!) Themes are also nicer looking on the new dashboard as well. 

Thats about all I have to say. I know when the NXE is available to everyone on Nov. 19th most people will enjoy the new dashboard a lot.

This post relates to: Fable II

Hey guys. I am still alive. Just been really busy with school and some other things. I got Fable II the other day and I am enjoying it so far. A lot of things I didn't like about the original Fable have been fixed. It seems more streamlined and not as easy as well. I signed up for the Preview of the New Xbox Experience, so hopefully I get selected to preview the beta. 
Thats about it for now.

This post relates to: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Hello fellowe bombers! I have been gone for awhile because the remenants blew through Ohio last week with 80 MPH winds that knocked power out all over my area of days. I finally got power back Saturday morning. That was six days with no power. It has not fun at all! I can see while I was gone, GiantBomb got some updates! They are all very nice looking and the new homepage is much much better. It is also cool to see guides as well. I have a bunch of pictures of the damage caused in my back yard because of the storm I mentioned earlier, I will share them here later once I find the cable to upload them! I did get The Force Unleashed yesterday and I have been playing that nonstop so far. The story is really good. I will write a review for the game once I done.

This post relates to: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

A couple of days ago the Force Unleashed was released as a demo on Xbox Live Marketplace. I woke up early that morning before school and downloaded the game and got to
Lightning is fun
play a little into the demo. After school I was able to go more in-depth with the demo. First off I think the story the game is telling is very unique and should help fills some gaps in the Star Wars universe. Second, using the force to throw Storm Troopers and Rebels around is fun. I did have some problems, but I am sure they will go away in the final release. During the demo the sound would get messed up or be off compared to the live gameplay.

So far I know this is a game I will have to have on day one and I really excited that it's release is nearing in mid-September. On the other end of the spectrum school has begun for me as well. It has been an adjustment getting used to the homework and sitting in class again. But its part of life and I can't wait for it to be over again.

That is pretty much thats all that has happened in my life recently. Catch you all on the flip-side.

This post relates to: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

I read over at  Xbox 360Fanboy that the Star Wars the Force Unleashed demo will hit PSN and Xbox Live Thursday, August 21. That is great because I have been waiting for this
I'm ready to unleash the force
demo ever since the game was announced and since Xplay did a show the other day talking about it, but no date for the demo was announced. I can't wait to test the demo out, I heard all force power will be made available for the demo as well. If that is true this should be one hell of a demo.

I also start school this week. I will be starting my junior year at my high school. It should be a great year, I have a friend returning, who left over 6 years ago and well I dunno. But I feel excited for some reason. My schedule for the first semester isn't bad either. It looks like this:
  1. AP US Government and Politics
  2. French 301
  3. Chemistry II
  4. Algebra II/Trig
  5. Classic Literature
  6. Church History
  7. Christian Doctrine
Not to bad. Two religion classes in a row. Fun. Oh, I go to a Catholic High School by the way. ;)
