  Microsoft has made some great improvements to the Interface on the Xbox 360.

• An end may be near.

  Video games just don't hold the same appeal this days compared to a couple years ago. I still play my Xbox everyday but some days I only play a few minutes to keep my streak going on 360voice.

• Vista speech recognition

  I was looking through Windows Vista's control panel what state today and I found windows Vista's speech recognition. It just took me 20 minutes to write the first sentence with it.

• Wii Remote Problems

  It's just not my month for gaming hardware. Since my Xbox is out I though I would fire up the Wii. When I did I couldn't point to the left hand side of the screen.

• Xbox Warranty Return December

  I've made a lot of trips to my local UPS store this month. Most of them dealt with the normal shipping and receiving of Christmas gifts.

  It's happened again. My Xbox 360 froze up when I was playing Assassin's Creed. Then when I rebooted the 360 it started playing the opening animation but never made it all the way though. It did this a couple times then I let it rest for about a half hour Read More... Posted Sunday, December 9, 2007 3:23 PM by Carsinigin | 0 Comments Filed under: Xbox, Gaming

• Hey this isn't the Internet I signed up for.
