This is a really impressive Tribes: Vengeance skill video. It features some of the best editing that I have seen in a long time. If the gameplay looks fun, consider picking up a copy of Vengeance for $9.99 on Amazon.com.

Widely thought of as one of the biggest disasters in video game history, The Nerd takes a look at every single game in the VB’s catalog.

I wrote a small application to convert Microsoft Points to various currencies. This is a quick way to see how much items in the Xbox Live Marketplace cost in your currency. Keep in mind that the values given are approximate, but it should give you a good idea as to how much items actually cost.

To use the program: enter an amount of Microsoft Points in the box, select your currency from the menu, and then press convert. The results will be displayed under the button.

From the moment that I heard about GarageGames and their InstantAction.com project I was interested. I always thought that even though web games are already extremely popular, there was a lot of room for growth and innovation. It seems that GarageGames agrees, and their response is InstantAction.com. Typically whenever I heard someone mention “web games” I would mentally picture a fun and addicting but simplistic 2D game created with Adobe flash or some similar technology. Chances are you think of something similar when you hear the phrase as well. GarageGames is hoping to change that by creating console quality 3D games that run in a normal web browser. These games are integrated with their website, which provides features such as universal friends lists, game invites, a party system, leaderboards, ect. If you have ever used Xbox Live, these features should sound very familiar. What makes it exciting is how they are being applied to some pretty impressive looking games that run right in your web browser.

I was recently accepted into the beta for the website and I am pretty impressed so far. While there is absolutely no denying that the website is still in a beta state, it is already working well enough to jump into a game with a group of friends and have a lot of fun. There is just something really cool about playing Marble Blast (a game that I played a lot of on Xbox 360) in my browser. I really loved Marble Blast on the 360, and it’s really neat to think about how this service will allow me to easily get more of my friends to check it out. The website is really simple to use, and I could easily see someone like my sister checking it out and playing Marble Blast with me online.

Now I just can’t wait to check out Legions when it reaches beta. That game looks like a very promising first person shooter.
