Well I finally got Crackdown! Been looking forward to this game for a long time now and finally got it. I know I am gonna love this game cause I have played through the demo numerous times. It will give me a welcome break from Saints Row which I have been spending all my gaming time on recently. Strange how both games involve 3 others gangs who's territory you have to take over! Seems like it's definately my kinda game then. It also came with the Halo 3 Beta invitation which, to be very honest, I couldn't give two hoots about. Although I own Halo 2 for the Xbox, I have only played it for maybe 10 mins. That was more than enough time to convince me that playing it with the controller was only frustrating me and that I was not going to enjoy it. At least it's coming out for Vista later this year and I'll be able to play it with the mouse and keyboard. So to say the least, I am not at all excited about Halo 3 on the 360. Anyway, the sooner I stop typing the sooner I can go play Crackdown... so bye!

Xbox360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows
Well not much new on the games front for me but at least I managed to get my hands on some new gaming hardware... the Xbox360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows. What this little device does is it allows you to use any of your Xbox360 wireless devices (controllers, headsets, racing wheels, etc) on your PC. Very cool! This is a great little gadget to have if you have wireless 360 controllers especially since all the new Games for Windows certified games have to have built-in support for the 360 controller. Go here for more details.

The Windows Live Messenger campaign
This is not really games related but I think it's important enough to mention.
Microsoft has launched a new campaign in which YOU can help donate money to charities just by chatting to your friends using Windows Live Messenger! It doesn't cost you a cent and every time you chat they pay money to your choice of one of nine charities. It's really easy to set up too... all you do is add some text corresponding to the charity you choose after your messenger display name. An "I'm" icon will appear behind your name to let everyone know that you are part of the program. Visit the campaign's homepage here for more info.
