Xbox Sales on the Rise in June – 88% Increase

According to Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg, the relaunch of the Xbox 360 was a retail success in the month of June. With an increase in sales of 88%, Xbox clearly found its way into many new homes last month. With great, new ,built-in features and promise of an exciting fall and winter line up, new Xbox owners can finally see what all the fuss is about.

This early boost in sales is a great sign of a healthy and excited gaming market, I myself have owned a 360 since launch year and can’t wait to add the new box to the arsenal. A slick new aesthetic, combined with refined gaming features and accessories is certainly going to make the new and improved Xbox 360 hard to turn down.

Force Unleashed 2 Gameplay Details

When E3 rolled around a few weeks ago, I was hoping that Star Wars: Battle Front 3 would finally be revealed/confirmed, but I was wrong. Regardless, Lucas Arts has continued another Star Wars gaming franchise with Force Unleashed 2. This game so far looks fantastic, the first game was memorable for most Star Wars fans, but there was clearly room to grow with the gameplay.

Recent gameplay reveals, media coverage, and trailers have unveiled a wide variety of exciting new details. To summarize, the overall gameplay has been tightened and refined to play more precisely and to encourage gameplay variety. Below are listed some features that have stood out to make this game a worthy sequel.

-Dual lightsaber action to dignify Force unleashed 2

-Improved animations and new combos

-Camera and targeting systems are more intuitive and intelligent.

-Varied enemies some able to deflect lightsabers, others wield carbonite guns.

This sequel looks like it has made steps in all the right directions to ensure that Star Wars games are not just a franchise cash grab, but more of a way of proving how deep and interesting the Star Wars universe truly is.

Batman….what a guy. I always wanted to be Batman when I was kid; Arkham Asylum brought that dream to life last year. Upon being released in an odd time of the year, Arkham Asylum swept the video game world with much praise.
