Halo 3: Achievements, New TV, Level 40 June 23, 2009
Posted by ArKiLe.com in 1.add a comment
So recently.. I have been getting back into Halo 3 on LIVE. I started playing again with some friends. That and I just got a new 40 inch 1080p Sharp Aquos. I’ve really been enjoying some of the new gametypes like MLG and Team SWAT.
The game is a lot different from Halo 1 but I am getting a lot better. Switching to bumper jumper and having a larger TV helped a lot. I have been playing for a few weeks now and reached level 40 in Lone Wolf.
Xbox 360 @ E3: Impressions June 3, 2009

I just watched the IGN coverage of Microsoft’s opening day. I think they had an overall good kick off to the event. The “Natal” seemed alright.. but what a weird name! As far as games go, I think Metal Gear could be big for Xbox. I don’t really think the franchise is that great myself. Halo 3: ODST has my attention though. I hope the pistol is similar to Halo 1. That could make for a very sick game. I think the Lionhead Studios presentation was complete bullshit. They are a bunch of hype makers and Fable is a good example of how they don’t follow through and deliver what they say they will. I am thinking about getting a new TV (1080p) and Netflix now for the instant play full HD movies! Last.fm looks like fun too. Hopefully you can stream and play games at the same time!
New Saitek Eclipse III Keyboard Review April 3, 2009
Posted by ArKiLe.com in 1.add a comment
Just got this new keyboard from Amazon for roughly $80. When taking it out of the box, I thought this keyboard was very large. I am upgrading from the Saitek Eclipse II. I’ve now had the Eclipse I (which was terrible), the Eclipse II (which was awesome) and now the Eclipse III which so far seems to surpass it’s siblings. This is the best looking keyboard I’ve ever owned hands down. I am sticking with blue color lighting setting even though I got quite a few other options now.
Looks: 9/10 “Hard to imagine a cooler looking keyboard”
Feel:8/10 “A little wide for my desk”
Utility: 8/10 “Great macro keys”
Value: 6/10 “$80″
Tom Clancy’s HAWX Demo February 19, 2009

I had the opportunity earlier this week to download and play with the newest entry in Tom Clancy franchise. I was skeptical at first to see Ubisoft do a jet fighter game but had high expectations after watching some videos online. The demo did not disappoint. The demo only lets you fly a F-16a Fighting Eagle at first.. A single engine jet with two different missle choices and a machine gun that is pretty hard to use. The maps look very detailed and apparently the game used real satalite photography to make real world locations that are recreated realistically.
If you play a few missions and do really well in the demo you can gain XP and level up unlocking new jets and such.. I unlocked a Harrier which was not nearly as effective on the demo missions as the F-16.
Tom Clancey’s HAWX is scheduled for a March 6, 2009 release on the X-Box 360 and I will be buying this one… If you want to get in on some co-op action or get dropped out of the sky in a versus match throw me a request on the 6th.
Halo Wars – Leaked Cinematic Trailer February 11, 2009

I have played this demo through and through and have to say that I am very impressed with Ensemble Studios. Sad thing is that the Ensemble Studios is closing up shop. Hopefully, whoever takes on the sequel will know how to do it justice. I will be preordering the game sometime in the next few days.
Until then, enjoy this video that got leaked with some of the more amazing cutscenes from the game. Thanks Xbox Life!
