The debut of the 10 x 10 Show was incredible! I had a lot of fun with each community and the support was amazing. There were even big surprises courtesy of Godfree calling in to represent GTR live from Miami, Florida. He got Xbox.com Game with Fame guest of honor and Miami Heat music phenom, DJ Irie, to stop by and mix it up with the community while playing some Halo 3. I also have to select a winner for Rocketman: Axis of Evil for the Xbox Live Arcade which was another gift to the U360 crowd from GTR. Post a comment and I’ll pick a winner on Monday.
The show went so well that I will go ahead and put my plan into motion of having the 10 x 10 Show a permanent fixture into the U360 arsenal. Look for another 10 x 10 Show in the coming months! Start requesting the communities you’d like on the next 10 x 10 Show now. I want to give a big thanks to all the community guests and everyone who came out to chat and call in. And a special thanks to Blogtalk Radio for making the 10 x 10 Show one of its featured shows.

While the supposed shortages continue, the Xbox 360 still manages to perform well in any other area beyond hardware. For the second consecutive month, the Xbox 360 remained last in consoles sold with 255,000 in February. However, that didn’t stop the software machine from dominating another Top 10 in software sales.
Microsoft also shared their take on February’s sales below which includes an impressive 9.6 million installed base here in North America that outshines the competition by a good margin. Check out the numbers and then read up on a few more tidbits concerning the Xbox 360.

I’m a big NBA fan so I felt compelled to let you all know about a free roster update for 2K Sports’ NBA 2K8. This includes all the most recent trades of all the big names in the NBA including my main man Jason Kidd to my Dallas Mavericks. To reflect the commitment of providing fans with the most fun and authentic NBA® experience available, updated team rosters for the top-rated basketball franchise are now available to download for free through Xbox LIVE® Marketplace and PLAYSTATION®Network.
Don’t forget that you can listen in on Episode #49 here at U360 to listen in on an NBA 2K8 Developer Call.
The following is a full list of updates to team rosters for NBA 2K8
I enjoyed the first one so I’m pretty excited to hear about a sequel to Assault Heroes for the Xbox Live Arcade. I’m hoping I’ll have enough points to grab Assault Heroes 2 as I never got around to purchasing the full version of the first.
Sierra Online, a division of Vivendi Games, will soon unleash Assault Heroes 2 for Xbox LIVE Arcade. Re-imagined for an even more intense arcade shooter experience, the Assault Heroes 2 game expands its horizons into outer space. New features include hi-jackable enemy vehicles, many more levels and an enhanced co-operative gameplay mode.

Dark Sector Producer Q&A with Digital Extremes. The release is getting closer and I went deep undercover to dig into one of this year’s highly anticipated titles. It’s been on the minds of many for a while and it even made its way on my Best of PAX feature a few months ago. Have a seat and enjoy the article before the March 25th release of the game.

The Interview
My friends at Gamertag Radio sent word to me about a special event going down in Florida next month to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Gamers getting together to help promote something positive is always good in my book.
Red Octane, The Inner Circle and LLS Presents The Ultimate LLS Guitar Hero Tournament, Saturday April 5th 2008 at The Inner Circle located at 2232 N. University Dr Coral Springs, FL (At University and Royal Palms Blvd. Behind Kinko’s)
As I mentioned last month, Mass Effect downloadable content arrived yesterday. Bring Down the Sky, the first in a series of planned downloadable content for Mass Effect, is available for everyone to download. (including Cooper Lawrence as well)
Bring Down the Sky includes a new uncharted world that introduces the notorious and feared alien race of the Batarians. A Batarian extremist group has hijacked a mobile asteroid station in the Asgard system, setting it on a collision course with the nearby colony world of Terra Nova. Only Commander Shepard can save the millions of innocent civilians before the asteroid completes its deadly descent.
Bring Down the Sky contains approximately 90 minutes of heart-pounding action and a new Achievement worth 50 Gamerscore points. Anyone think the Batarians might harbor some form of sexual entertainment?
How much: 400 Microsoft Points
Ready to test your mind? I’m really excited about Brain Challenge coming to the Xbox Live Arcade this week! This kind of game is perfect for the system much like Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action was. It’s a break from the norm and offers all kinds of silly fun while challenging the brain.

For those looking for a relaxing experience, Creative Mode allows players to relax and explore their imagination and Child Test lets players play & share their exercises with younger people.
