I have friends I play GTA4 with.

I have friends I play CoD4 with.

I have friends I play Rock Band with.

I do not have room for all of those friends on my friends list.

Fortunately I have solved the whole problem for Microsoft. Now all they need to do is execute. (more…)

I know, I know, Animathias recently posted his Bourne Conspiracy Demo Impressions right here, on this very page. He really liked it. He thought it was too easy, but enjoyed the cinematic experience. He did have a few minor complaints, and you can read all about it right here.

Read it and weep, because he’s totally off his rocker, that demo sucks.

As you may remember, we kind of were successful in organizing a boycott against Battlefield: Bad Company and Electronic Arts because of a pretty stupid and downright greedy DLC tactic. However, has it become a case of too little too late?

I decided that I’d been ignoring the offerings on Xbox Live Arcade for too long. The last game I’d “purchased” was Undertow. And we all know how that story ends.

But I came across this little game called Gripshift in the deep dark recesses of Xbox Live Marketplace. Now I’m blowing off CoD4 and R6V2 invites to instead collect gold stars like an addict. This game was totally worth it. (more…)

I can deal with an occasional hiccup in the Xbox Live servers. I can take looking at ads whenever I’m browsing the dashboard or marketplace. However, when I sit down and actually think about all the revenue going to Microsoft, I wonder what’s actually in it for us, the consumers. Xbox Live is a gold mine for Microsoft, and we’re the worker monkeys.

Dance, Monkey! If you dance well enough, maybe you’ll get an Arcade game that’s actually an ad!

It seems that nowadays there’s always someone charging you for every game, especially on XBL. It’s a jungle out there and you might find yourself bombarded by all the extra crap to “enhance you gaming experience.” Luckily, Sarcastic Gamer is here to help you make the smart choices that both you and your wallet will find favorable.

Get a pen and paper, you might want to write this down, or just turn on you printer, you cheap ass. (more…)

My neighbor just leaked a little piece of AT&T propaganda to me that I thought was pretty cool. Those of you in several U.S. cities will be able to get your paws onto MS Surface in just two weeks. I’ve got the places and addresses after the jump. (more…)

Every time Microsoft releases a new operating system, it’s a piece of stinky, pungent crap. Then, after about a year or two of dawdling, they package and distribute a new version of Stink Protection (SP). This normally covers up the putrid smell just long enough until SP2. Windows 2000 reeked so badly, they were up to SP4 before users could unplug their nostrils. (more…)

It’s a recession here in the US of A and that means belt-tightening times for many Americans. Less money for frivolous expenditures like say… video games and consoles. It also means that the value of companies that sell those games can take quite a dip, if forecast revenues don’t measure up to reality. This isn’t a bad situation to be in if you’ve been saving trillions of pennies to buy one of those companies. You get where I’m going with this? Hang in there… (more…)
