Not all gaming gadgets have to be full of high tech wizardry. Sometimes it’s the simple ones that end up being essential to a gamer’s way of life. I’ve got three consoles and 7 controllers in my living room that all need to be charged in one manner or another. A simple gadget that...

To say that I’m a fan of rhythm games such as Rock Band would be an understatement. I’ve owned each game, a bunch of instruments and bought tons of DLC. I will however admit that the games are starting to grow a little stale these days. New songs are great, but the excitement just isn’t...

On Monday Microsoft issued an update to the Xbox 360 dashboard, expanding the the Xbox 360’s capabilities.  The update included new outfits and accessories to player avatars, the launching of a digital shop for formerly disc-based games, and an overhaul of the Netflix streaming service. In the...

Ghostbusters was one of those games that I really wanted to like, but honestly didn’t expect much from it. After all, I’ve played some really bad games that were based on the franchise. Seriously, have you ever played the Atari game? Anyway, I was rather surprised that this game was far...

When Apathy and I were at E3 we were shown things that we unfortunately could not talk about. That’s just the way things work,  but today the embargo was lifted on one particular item. You’ve seen the review of the Starpex controller from Peak. Vostromus is still in love with it, but I’m...

I was just as surprised as anyone else when Valve announced Left 4 Dead 2. The game hasn’t exactly been out for a long time, and well, Valve takes forever to release new games. Christ, I’m still waiting to hear anything about Half Life 2: Episode 3. So what is the big deal with the new sequel,...

Have you ever wondered what rules Microsoft has laid down on the achievements allowed in each game? Apparently there is a structured system, though they don’t like to talk about it much. Apparently back in 2007 Microsoft stated that the maximum Gamerscore per title was 1250, which has been broken...

Ok, so you know how you can develop your own games for the Xbox Live Network using Microsoft’s stupid XDK or Xbox Development Kit? Well apparently its grown more popular than anyone ever thought it would, regardless, there is now a central, community-based, repository for rating these games. The...

Left 4 Dead has become something of a staple during our gaming nights here at the GamerFront HQ. It really just doesn’t get much better than blowing away zombies with three of your closest friends. Actually it does get better. How about trying to survive wave after wave of zombies with no hope...

We all know that the 360 is prone to failure. I think that collectively we have had to send in our units a total of 5 times here at GamerFront. Luckily they have all been covered under the extended warranty. But when you have a failure that isn’t covered, what exactly do you do with that old broken...
