It’s a couple days late, but here are our feelings on Microsoft’s showing at the gaming industry’s biggest event.
Microsoft’s E3 2012 Press Conference
On June - 7 - 2012
I Build Things Up, Then I Break Them Down
On May - 16 - 2012
On episode 66 of The Never Not a Nerd Show Rick and I talk about the Xbox 360 port of the hit PC game Minecraft.

Brothers to THE END
On October - 2 - 2011
Gears of War 3 is Epic’s, and one of Microsoft’s most successful franchises. From a fiscal standpoint, closing the book on the franchise is a terrible idea. But, maybe Cliff Bleszinski and the crew at Epic would rather focus on something new and different.
In Gears of War 3 you play as one of 8 playable characters, due to the addition of 4-player co-op. When you’re player one, you are Marcus Fenix (the main hulking bro), or Augustus Cole (the “WHOOO!” bro). You’re mostly Marcus, because this is his story.
New Game Day – Gears of War 3
On September - 20 - 2011
There’s nothing of note this week that wants to try and compete with the big dog on the block. This is supposed to be the last game in the series. Anyone want to take bets on that actually happening? Check out the opening cinematic below.
R2D2 Loves Your Money
On July - 22 - 2011
Why is all the cool R2D2 stuff so expensive? This is a sweet looking 360, and it even makes authentic R2D2 sounds, but it’s going to cost you $449. But wait, it comes with: a C3PO controller, 320gb HD, a Kinect, Star Wars Kinect, and Kinect Adventures. Does that make it worth the $449?
Well, when you consider that the 320gb HD Gears of War 3 bundle which comes with: the system, Gears of War 3(a game that people actually want), and two controllers is $399. And that the 250gb 360 with the Kinect is $399,then maybe that extra 70 gigs or upgrading to a Kinect is worth the $49
The R2D2 Xbox 360 bundle will be available this holiday season.
The Never Not a Nerd Show – Episode 5
On June - 23 - 2011
So, I kind of forgot to post this when it was completely finished because of a super busy week. Episode 6 was recorded a couple days ago and I’m finding it hard to remember what went down in episode 5 all that well. As I usually say, you can find all of the videos as they are done on our vimeo account here.
Video of the Week!! – Forza Motorsport 4
On June - 13 - 2011
Forza 4 isn’t coming out until October, but there are about 10 other games coming out that month and I sense the possibility of it getting lost in the AAA shuffle. It was definitely impressive at E3, so I wanted to take the time now to highlight how good this game looks. Check it out below.
Halo 4 – Debut Teaser
On June - 6 - 2011
Well, it seems as though Microsoft is moving on with the Halo franchise sans Bungie. Check out the teaser for Halo 4 below.
Want New 360 D-Pad? $64.99 Please
On September - 2 - 2010
