on the shelves
MX vs ATV: Untamed (stats): All the reviews I’ve read differ on why this game is just eh, but they all agree it is eh. Based on the demo, I think I agree with the 1UP review the most – the game isn’t sure if it wants to be arcade or sim, and the randomness of out of bounds gets annoying. It seems like a good game to fool around with but maybe not one you’ll like long term.
and that’s it til ’08.
Downloadable games
– Toy Home {$10}
– Snakeball {$10} – or a free demo

Add-on Game Content
– Warhawk Omega Dawn Booster Pack ($8} – new arena, new features, out about a week earlier than I had thought.
(special Holiday section)
– Folklore {free} – holiday outfits for the main character and a new quest
– MotorStorm {free} – holiday paint job for the Big Rig
– Guitar Hero (free) – “We Three Kings”
– High Stakes: Poker Edition – two different add ons with new games. Both are free, so I don’t know why they didn’t just them both at once. Add-On 1 gives you Omaha, Pineapple, and CRAZY Pineapple. Add-On 2 has 5 Card Draw and 7 Card Stud, but sadly no 7 Card CRAZY Stud.
– Rock Band – no free songs here. $2 each for “Brass in Pocket” by the Pretenders, “Buddy Holly” by Weezer and “My Iron Lung” by Radiohead. No 3 for $5.50 deal this time.
