The first time I played Zuma was on the PC, where much like the Xbox 360 version, the gameplay is simple yet challenging. By the time I reached the second level I was hooked on Zuma’s addictive gameplay.

Laying to rest the question of when XBox 360 will finally land in consumer’s homes, Microsoft has announced that November 22nd is the day when the console will hit retail shelves. Hitting at 2 price points,
$299 for the “core” system and $399 for the “Premium” system, the unit will be the first “High Definition” game system on the market. Other improvements included with the system are a full-featured Media Center
Extender, allowing the box to stream high definition music and movies from networked servers (Full functionality report will be coming upon release!) and Media Center PC’s.
Check back here for more info as the launch date approaches!

In a move that can only be called “Incredibly stupid”, Microsoft today has decided to surrender one of their primary advantages over Sony’s PS3: The XBox 360 hard drive will be an addon. Flying in the face of all previous statements that “Every XBox 360 will have a 20GB hard drive out of the box”, Microsoft have apparently gone off their rocker and decided that rather than offering the consumer far more value than
Sony will in 6 more months, they’d rather just follow their competitor’s mistake and split the market, alienate developers and ensure the failure of the hard drive as a peripheral.
While it’s impossible to predict the short-term effect of this new development on any sort of scale, I can tell you this: I won’t be buying an XBox 360 at launch.
Update: Upon further review and consideration, I’ll have to admit to being wrong about the Premium bundle.

According to a press release this morning at Microsoft’s website, the XBox 360 Summit in Japan started off with a big bang this morning with the announcement of big support from more than 50 of Japan’s top
developers–including some who’ve been primarily Sony loyalists for years. The announcement comes as the even launches today and is sure to provide plenty of fodder for fanboys on all sides of the console spectrum. Regardless of their outlooks, though, one thing is clear: Microsoft has been working hard behind the scenes to cut some fabulous deals with Japan’s most famous developers in a bid to garner the big support that they need from Japan to win the next generation race.
For a full list of the games on display at the Summit and the developers who’ll be joining Microsoft’s camp, many for the first time, read on…
