Back to Gaming

After months of not having an Xbox, due to stupid misplaced trust, I have finally gotten one once again. I have missed it so. The sounds of retro gaming music, a few wise cracks from a grunt or brute about my demon spawn, the crunching of an opponents car being crushed by a well made takedown into a bus, the laser, zap drones and thwomps of N+, and finally the smell of a fresh new game as it is pulled out of the case and placed into the cd tray for the first time.

I have also gotten to try out the update preview for MS with a taste of Twitter, Last.Fm, Facebook, and Zune HD.

Twitter is just as exciting on xbox as it is on pc. I have read that given some time they should make it to where you can post more than a 140 character 'what are you up to?'.

Last.Fm is the best thing to come to xbox for the music lover unfortunately at the moment you can't find something you like and tehn add it as background music for your favorite game or that game you just can't stand the current music for.

Facebook app is nothing more than check recent posts from friends and their pics plus add your own post, but as soon as Tiger Woods' new game comes out you can add the new add on for that that will make it possible for you to brag about that perfect golf game you had. Pray for someway to show something other than that like a sweet headshot or a megajump or a glich shot.

Zune HD the new video market place. With Zune HD on your xbox and on your pc and/or Zune, you can purchase from one place and play from another(Some items do only play from one place not the other, check items info for more information).

Paid AVATAR Clothing

I like everyone else just go tthe New Xbox Experience downloaded to my 360. I've been playing around with the new features testing the waters. I've become bored with the avatar system quite quickly. So I've been tryingto find out a guide to the Avatars to maybe get abetter idea of what can be done atleast until MS gets to releasing some more costumes and gear. I found out that there is a secret in some of the premium themes that are being schlepped on the marketplace. I also have a Japanese account that on there is a game being released in Japan Called "Ninja Blade". For 250 MS points I downloaded the Theme for it and found 4 ninja parts for my avi. I'm gonna have to try to use them on my US avatar or atleast try to some of the premium themes from the US to see if maybe there is a Gears or Halo unlockable.
