I spent all yesterday playing with the NXE, and I am quite impressed. It isn’t as good as expectations lead it to be, but few things are. All in all, apart from a few networking issues, it was a perfect update. The new features they added make it a faster console to use, and a fun-er console to use. Tasks that used to take many clicks now can be achieved almost instantaneously, and you can do far more in game far faster, so you spend less time changing your music track and more time gaming.

The NXE comes out for everyone tomorrow. Expect a full write up, here, including details and impressions.
Lots of hype. Lets see if it lives up to all it promised
Gears of War 2 is a great game. Its a sequel to one of the classic games of the Xbox360, a game that filled the hole between Halo 2 and 3 for many people.

In the many times delayed Mercenaries 2 update for the Xbox360, 2 of the new playable characters have been revealed. Obama and Palin. While this is very likely official, it comes from G4, which has been known for jokes in the past. But the video clip is too realistic. Also highlighted in the video clip are new locations, new weapons, new vehicles, and new contracts.
Kotaku got their first hands-on in real life with the NXE, and they talked about some surprising details. Its nice to have an unbiased article about it. You will likely see several more, as the early preview has launched. Unfortunately, I was not one to receive an email, so you will not be getting one from here.
This Tuesday, the Mercenaries 2 update was supposed to come out. It did, but not in the sense in which i could use it. Pandemic, contrary to what they have previously said, did not release the Xbox360 update first, and the PS3 update later, rather, did an about face and released the PS3 update, with the Xbox360 update coming out “sometime in November.” This is the second time they have delayed the Xbox360 update, with no reason, but there is likely some internal reason.

I have had the Shadowrun game for a while, given to me by a friend, but I only recently opened it. I had heard very little about the game, so didn’t know what to expect. After playing it for 2 days, I feel i can write a comprehensive review.
