There's been some dang swell releases for the 'Box lately.  It started with MKA.  Although G-spot and other publications gave it sort of luke warm scores, i actually liked it quite a bit.  It's especially cool when my freinds and i take turns facing each other's Kreate a Karecters.  I find myself tweaking my guys for long periods of time.  Emergence day hit, and i spent most of my time playing Gears.  I must admit, I'm getting pretty good in multiplayer.  Helps that me and my freind i play with coordinate well.  It's sweet when you can flank unsespecting players.  And as frosting on the cake, Contra was just released over Arcade.  Though it is a little dissapointing that it's not the original NES version i played in my youth, it's still pretty cool.  Doubt i'll ever beat it without the extra lives code though (never was much good at those old side scrolling shooters, though they're still a blast to play.)
