  • MyGamerCard.net

    Updating my autopen signatures today I noticed an unfortunate fact. MyGamerCard.net is no longer serving up Xbox Live gamercards. Morgan, the mastermind behind MGC, was forced to shut down the service after 5 years of providing the gaming community with gaming updates and tools for forum signature bragging rights. While he was (graciously!) able to fund most of the project, he was unable to get Microsoft to help him out with the issues regarding cheaters. With the recent changes to the Xbox.com website and being without the necessary APIs, it became apparent that the time of MGC was over.

    Thank you for your awesome work Morgan. 5 years online was no small feat. MyGamerCard will be missed.

  • Spark 360 Review

    There is a special place in my heart for technology. I’ve grown up around gadgets and gear and spent plenty of time programming, building and replacing hardware and the like. So I love it when technology pieces fit together. One of those pieces is an Android app that brings the joys of Xbox Live to my mobile Android device.

    Spark 360 is an Android application to connect you with your friends and fellow gamers over Xbox Live, even while you’re away from your console. Actually, I use it while I’m on my console as it’s easier to message people with the app than with a controller!

    The interface is clean. Super clean. Beautiful in fact. I can access messages (and send, which is great!), see who’s online and track games I’ve played. There’s even a Microsoft Points conversion tool built in. The latest update offers a favorite users function (just star your close friends in the app and filter for that) and message notifications.

    If you are a gamer and an Android user, Spark is a must have app.

  • Far Cry 2 Map Maker

    One of the most exciting aspects of the new Far Cry 2 from Ubisoft was the return of the Map Editor.

    More than a map editor (yes, we’re looking at you Forge) the Far Cry map maker allows full customization of the terrain, natural elements, man made objects and spawn/weapons locations. The ability to change almost everything makes the possibilities almost endless. For the record, I am using the Xbox 360 version.
