GTA IV – Looking For That Special Someone

The hype is steadily building for Rockstar’s latest entry into the Grand Theft Auto series.  It’s coming.  I can’t say that I”m excited but it’s coming nonetheless.  Look for the second trailer titled “Looking For That Special Someone” to debut today at the official site for Grand Theft Auto IV. Xbox 360 owners can expect [...]

DiRT kicks mud on the sales charts

In just one week, DiRT has managed to exceed the expectations of many by selling 500K (500,000) units globally for Codemasters.  That’s a lot of dirty racing and it bodes well for the genre to debut with such strong sales.  The playable demos for the Xbox 360 and the PC have been downloaded over 500K times [...]

“Hey, Is Everything Alright?”

So often in the world we forget to ask the simplest of things to those we consider friends and often to our own families.  Doing a podcast show and being in somewhat of a position that makes me openly available to many people, I wanted to take some time to ask those of you who follow [...]

Mad Tracks Encore Expansion Pack

Whenever the Xbox Live Marketplace opens for business today, fans of Load Inc.’s Mad Tracks will have a treat.  (except for the boys and girls in Korea)  The Encore Expansion Pack doubles the challenges and extends the fun of Mad Tracks by offering nine (9) additional nail-biting races and six (6) action-packed mini games where [...]

The Bourne Conspiracy Announced 2008

I know it’s a ways off but I’m a big fan of Bourne and to get a chance to play the character is excellent.  Sierra Entertainment is bringing Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Conspiracy to the Xbox 360.  I just hope this game doesn’t suffer the same fate as all movie-to-game adaptations often do.  Screenshots: The [...]

What’s the deal with Shadowrun?

There’s a lot of discussion going on all over the internet about Shadowrun – the newest FPS for the Xbox 360. FASA Studio, known more recently for their work on Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf for the Xbox, has unleashed Shadowrun to what at least one of their developers deems highly unfair reviews. It received an 8.0 here at Unscripted 360, so that has to count for something!

So what’s the deal with Shadowrun and why is there so much disdain aimed at it? If it was good, why are so many reviewers trashing it? For the gamers out there that have no idea what’s going on and why it’s causing such a stir, I delve into some of the reasons as to why it’s such a hot topic.

Hit the jump and get comfy.

Microsoft Points Bundle Changes?

Hello.  My name is Deacon and I am an impulse Marketplace buyer.  Yes, I admit to being one of those people who purchases things from the Xbox Live Marketplace on impulse.  If I see a nice picture pack, I dish out the points to grab them or I grab a quick bundle if more points are needed.  More [...]

Midweek Marketplace – Return to Vegas

Ok, I know time goes by without a Midweek Marketplace rundown and you all get upset with me.  (thanks for the reminder JTR J Bird)  Hey things happen, I get sidetracked and before you know it months have gone by.  I’m human…what can I say. Well it’s back and it’s here now for you to scan [...]

Play of the Week – The Darkness

There are several titles that could’ve made it as this week’s Play of the Week but I chose The Darkness.  This might be a wise choice considering the hundreds of searches going on for the differences between the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.  I almost went with Overlord especially considering that I’ve learned there is [...]
