Microsoft to pull the plug on Xbox Live for the original Xbox console and XBOX games

Microsoft is slowly pushing original Xbox owners to upgrade to the Xbox 360. The software giant discontinued the original Xbox in late 2008 and officially stopped supporting the aging console in March 2009.

Club Nintendo Resurrects The Game & Watch

By Andrew Liszewski Until now, one of the cooler premiums available from Club Nintendo, at least in my opinion, was a DS game that featured recreations of all their classic Game & Watch titles. But Japanese Club Nintendo members who’ve reached the Platinum level will now be rewarded with an actual Game & Watch handheld game allowing...

Nintendo Game and Watch: Cult reborn as keyholders (video)

Game & Watch is the name of a series of (now) simple LCD handheld games Nintendo produced between 1980 and 1991. The small devices still enjoy cult status among hardcore retro gamers (just look at these prices on Ebay ), which means it’s not that big a surprise that toymaker Takara decided to come up with three new keyholders that are...

As Xbox LIVE Nears Death, Microsoft Gives Consolation Prizes to Loyalists

Last month, we delivered the somber news that Microsoft will discontinue Xbox LIVE support for its original console and games. Come mid April, you won’t be able to play ‘Halo 2′ online anymore. Rather than going out kicking and screaming, you might as well quietly accept Microsoft’s virtual olive branch. According to Engadget...

Xbox 360 Dashboard Update… updates: Preview program reopened, Sky TV due Oct. 27

Just as it did earlier this year , Microsoft has opened the preview program to let the most hardcore of Xbox 360 owners poke around the updated dashboard — presumably with access to all the 1080p instant-on streaming, Twitter, Facebook and Last.fm add-ons we’ve been expecting — ahead of its official release in order to shake...

NEO SNES/SFC Myth Cart Lets You Play ‘Homebrew’ SNES Games

By Andrew Liszewski Clearly designed for strictly playing homebrew SNES titles, and definitely not ROMS you’ve acquired from the internet, the new NEO SNES/SFC Myth Cart plugs into your Super Famicom or Super Nintendo console like any standard game cartridge, but does just a bit more. It connects to your PC via USB allowing you to copy ROMS...

Gyromancer by PopCap Games and Square Enix coming to Xbox Live tomorrow

Puzzle Quest has long been a dapper little fantasy puzzle game favorite. Launching first on the Xbox 360, the game — which perfectly melded the gameplay of a PopCap-style jewel matching game like Bejeweled with the trappings of a fantasy role playing game — has successfully sprouted to a legion of other systems, including the Read More →

Dead Xbox 360 is Reborn as a Mechanical Robot

The red ring of death is an inevitable conclusion for most Xbox 360 owners. But instead of mourning his console’s loss, U.K.-based student Jasper Stevens did something fun to give his lifeless and out-of-warranty Xbox 360 a second chance.
