Xbox 360Xbox just released a bunch of Free Downloads, that look to be pretty good (I haven’t played them yet, so no endorsement, just letting you know they are out there). As much as these games get played in my house though, more songs and maps are always welcome, and The X-Files is one of the greatest shows ever.

Here is the rundown:
– Guitar Hero III: Two tracks: “Top Gun Anthem” & “I am Murloc” World of Warcraft Single.

– Rock Band: “Promised Land” by Vesuvius.

– Halo 3: A Map called “Cold Storage”

– The X-Files: I Want to Believe Picture Pack



Boom Blox Boom Blox is exactly the type of game the Wii was created for. This is not just a port of some game onto the Wii, this game was developed with the Wii control scheme in mind. Most of the game is two types of games. Either a version of Jenga or throwing a ball and trying to knock blocks down. I have played through a bit of the single player, and quite a few hours with other players, both kids and adults, and everyone is able to catch on pretty quick. This is a game that can provide hours of enjoyment (though not at one time as your elbow tends to get sore after a while). One thing I can this game does need is a better explanation of how some of the games work. Some of the multiplayer games are a bit confusing when it comes to the scoring and how the game actually ends. Finding different ways to explode the bombs and chemical blocks is my favorite part. All in All this is a great game and I highly recommend it.

I give this game a rating of 9 out of 10.
