The Windows Experience Blog put out the list of the first group of XBox games to be available on October 26 for Windows 8.  Of course we get Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, and Fruit Ninja, but I’m also glad to see IloMilo and Wordament!  Really: I need an XBox now. 4 Elements II Special [...]

Looks like Microsoft is going to help make it easier to get involved with politics. They just announced a series of ways that Xbox will help to get involved this election cycle. I think the best feature is the app itself: Microsoft will also be offering Election 2012 on Xbox LIVE, an immersive and interactive [...]

Shoot 1Up is now in Marketplace. It’s an Xbox Live title…I mean an Xbox Windows Phone title. Yeah look at that banner on top of the apps icon. The former style of Xbox Live was a lot cleaner. This branding is a lot more prominent but I have to say, a little less Metro…uhm Modern. [...]

When something becomes a massive cultural phenomenon, what happens to it?  It Goes EVERYWHERE!  Or, in the words of the Schwartzmaster Yogurt, “Moichendising!” I can play Angry Birds on Facebook, Google, my Kindle Fire, my WP7 HTC Surround, with my son’s physical board (well, plastic pieces) game, even with books with my son’s 6” plush [...]

Battlestar Galactica Avatar stuff is now on Xbox live but for a price of course. You’ll be able to get all kinds of stuff like hoodies, T-Shirts, masks and even full costumes. You can pick from the Galactica crew adornments or Cylon. Too bad I don’t have gold anymore, I dropped it as I never [...]

Read this with me: The remote control is no longer the main device sitting next to you on the couch. Your iPhone or iPad is quickly becoming an integral part of TV watching, and AT&T* U-verse® TV customers now have access to several new features and content that bring their TV and wireless experiences together, [...]
