Microsoft 360 Support Again

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

I am weak.  I am a weak person that lets people walk over me and trample with their size nines.  Which is why when making support calls to Microsoft I get intimidated by them - and they probably sense it and make the most of it.

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Welcome to the first edition of Sprites Game of the Year. I want to get a feel of what people thought were the best games of 2007.

The graphics are superb, the has great gameplay […]

Assassin’s Creed Not What I Had Hoped

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

I am so disappointed in Assassins Creed.  Fortunately for me I was not hyped up about it’s release, but it was one game I was looking forward to playing.

Assassin’s Creed

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Well, this is an odd little game. First impressions were pretty positive - superb graphics, excellent animations, strange plot - all of the ingredients were there, but after about an hour (shortly after getting the horse in fact), things started to fall apart.
