Leah’s (Extremely Late) Ten Best Games of 2010

In: Articles by Leah "WhiteGodiva" Haydu

8 Mar 2011

Yes, I know it’s March.  I’m not late; I’m retro. Anyway, since everyone else has already had his or her say, I wanted to put my two cents in and talk about my favorite games of last year. My “best of” lists tend, in general, to be a bit different from most people’s, largely because I [...]

Get out your ball gags and your leather masks, kids! It’s time for the GameHounds Podcast — or as it was almost dubbed this week, the Gimpcast. Curious what we mean? Just listen. You’ll understand.

2010 in Spoilers

In: Articles by Nick "Alsop Live" Dinicola

2 Mar 2011

2011 is already off to a big start as far as game releases go, and it shows no signs of slowing down, so it’s understandable if you can’t find the time to go back to some of those 2010 game you were meaning to play. I know I haven’t. So in the interest of helping [...]

Rest In Peace, MGC

27 Feb 2011

If you’re a regular browser of gaming websites, you’ve probably noticed something strange in the past day or so.  Where many sites (including GameHounds) previously listed their writers’ XBox Live gamertags using a service called MyGamerCard.net, there are now no avatars, no gamertags, and no list of recently played titles. Instead, there are boxes thanking [...]

Review: Hydrophobia

In: Reviews by Nick "Alsop Live" Dinicola

27 Sep 2010

Hydrophobia is filled with good ideas that never see their full potential. The story revolves around Kate Wilson and the hijacking of the Queen of the World, a massive boat that puts the Titanic to shame.

When is too much, too much? When does too much become nauseating? And when does nauseating become a turnoff? That’s what Microsoft is doing with their marketing of Halo Reach. When they announced that this was the most expensive marketing they have ever done for a game, two words came to mind. “Ya, think?” I [...]

In the past few years, the price of real gold has trended higher, and today Microsoft announced that their virtual version, aka Xbox Live Gold membership, is joining that trend on November 1, with price increases for all memberships in the United States and bumps in other plans for Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom.

Game Room: Lame Room, or Why It Failed

In: Articles by Dave "Holy Goalie" Gardner

17 Aug 2010

When Microsoft announced it was bringing a new feature called Game Room to the Xbox 360, I was intrigued. It announced it was going to recreate games from the 80s arcades, the Atari 2600, and Mattel Intellivision, to name a few. The focus was going to be on making this game as close to the [...]
