Do you miss the days of Double Dragon, River City Ransom, Final Fight and Golden Axe? Do you long for 4 player beat'em up action? Do you wish you could reclaim a bit of the old 8 & 16 bit era with a heavy dose of Epicness? If you've answered Yes to any of these questions, then download the demo of Scott Pilgrim VS. The World -NOW- Played this last night with Karen and it reminded me SO much of my youth. Gods, I sound like an old fart typing that but it's true. Pure unadulterated fisticuffs and fanservice with a hefty dose of nods to game culture and geekdom fills this side scrolling 4 player button masher.

"It's time for us to move on," he said. "Especially if we want to think about broadening - a crackly headset on the top of your head – not what people think of when they talk about popular entertainment."" Read more at, Joystiq

Hey all, Anyone having issues with Xbox Live these days? For the past few months I have been getting random disconnects. Right after getting disconnected I can reconnect no prob and it stays up for a bit then disconnects agin. I have been trying everything under the sun to try and improve this. Doing google searches. I have been getting the following. 1. If I have been idle or away (this seems like it could be normal but not sure). 2. Right in the middle of a download from the marketplace.

I am strongly thinking about purchasing the new Xbox 360, although I have no idea what I would do with 250GB, as my current one is 60GB and I have 39GB left. If I do get it, how do I transfer my profile to the new one? Also, would I lose any data at all from the transfer? Also, here is a link the the awesome new 360. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x/xbox360250GBconsole/

I'm sure most everyone got the email, but just in case you didn't I'm hosting them here on Gamercide. Click the link below, unzip and enjoy. Clicky Clicky

So, you could own an Xbox 360 that has been modded to include an arc reactor just like Tony Stark wears. Check out the Ebay auction for lots of pics and the Gizmodo video of it turning on. Not sure if it shows the red lights if it craps out or not though. <br> <br> <br> <br> <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="437" height="347" id="viddler"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/simple_on_site/619e6ce9" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="flashvars" value="fake=1"/><embed src="http://www.viddler.com…
