4. The freeware vmcNetflix plug-in

Step 1: Set Up Your Xbox as a Media Center Extender
If you have already set up your Xbox 360 as a Media Center extender, you can skip this step. Unless you’re already using your Windows PC as a Media Center powerhouse and have a tuner card installed on your Windows machine, chances are you haven’t had much reason to set up your Xbox as an extender. With vmcNetflix, you’ve got a great reason. Microsoft already provides detailed instructions for setting up your 360 as a Media Center extender, so here’s the cut down version. Start up your Xbox 360, head to the Media blade, and select Media Center. Since you haven’t already set up an extender, your Xbox will walk you through the setup process between your Xbox and your PC. The Xbox will generate an eight-digit code to authenticate the link between the two. Then you need to start Media Center on your PC, go to Tasks -> Add Extender, and fill in the blanks in the setup wizard with your eight-digit code when prompted.

Step 2: Install the vmcNetflix Plug-in.
Now that your Xbox is set up as a Vista Media Center extender, you’re ready to download and install the vmcNetflix plug-in. Just download the latest plug-in from their site and go through the installer.

Step 3: Set Up Watch Instantly on Your PC
Before you can stream Watch Instantly videos to your 360 extender, you need to make certain that your PC is Watch Instantly-ready first. If you’ve already watched videos on this computer using Netflix’s Watch Instantly feature, you can skip this step. You’ll need to install a plug in or two from Netflix to help deal with the DRM and streaming videos. Installing them is as easy as logging into your Netflix account using Internet Explorer, click on the Watch Instantly tab, and then playing anything. You don’t have to finish it, so just click Play on the first video you chance upon.Netflix will prompt you to install their plug in before the video starts, so just enter through their prompts and install. When you’re finished, you should be watching the video you just chose.

Step 4: Set Up vmcNetflix on Your Xbox 360
Now you need to run your Xbox 360 in Media Center extender mode. To do so, turn it on, go to your Xbox dashboard, and start Media Center from the list where you set it up originally. Your Xbox will find your computer and start up in Media Center mode.Once there, scroll down to the Online Media section then select the program library. You should see an entry for vmcNetflix. Start it up. Since this is the first time you’ve run vmcNetflix on your extender, you’ll need to set it up with your Netflix account. You just have to provide your Netflix user name and password. Once you’ve done that you’re ready to start watching movies. That’s all there is to it.

You can now stream any Netflix Watch Instantly video directly to the TV in your lounge using the Xbox 360 that’s already there. vmcNetflix handles everything nearly perfectly, from separate episode listings for TV shows to managing and accessing your Netflix Watch Instantly queue. Also, Netflix can download Watch Instantly videos and save them on your computer. This comes in very handy because saving videos means you don’t have to worry about downloads buffering, and video playback, fast-forwarding, and rewinding all work better. The downside is that saving videos isn’t part of the Watch Instantly terms of service.

The XBox 360 is generally considered to be the big cheese when it comes to home video game systems. And why shouldn’t it be? The XBox 360 is a popular video game player on the market, and Microsoft is continually updating, upgrading and offering more accessories and products for their device than any other manufacturer out there today.

However, even though the XBox 360 is the world’s most popular video game system, that doesn’t mean that you should simply run out to your nearest electronic goods retailer and pick up the first XBox 360 that you see. As with any vital purchase decision, research is the key to making an informed buying choice.

Even though the XBox 360 enjoys unparallel popularity, there are certain things that you should bear in mind before you ultimately purchase your XBox 360:

Is the XBox 360 Right for Me?
There’s the original XBox, the XBox 360 and the Xbox 360 Elite. Each variation of the Xbox or Xbox 360 has different features and functions than the other. And while the new XBox 360 should be easy to locate in a wide range of stores, other versions might be difficult to locate if they are discontinued or sold out. You should definitely research exactly which XBox you want before you purchase it.

Do I Want Accessories?
You can easily purchase a simple XBox 360 for your pleasure, but you’ll then have to consider where you will use your XBox 360 and how you’ll use it. Will you just keep it with you at home for playing? Will you take it with you to a friend’s house, or even work and school? For each use of the XBox 360, there are many accessories that you can purchase to store and protect your device. You will have to ask yourself if you are willing to spend the extra money for the wide range of XBox 360 accessories that Microsoft has to offer.

How Much Is Enough for Me?
Are you a video game fanatic, playing everything your eyes can possibly take all the time? Or do you have a limited amount of games that you absolutely love? If you’re the former, then you will want to get an XBox 360 with the greatest memory capacity that you can afford. The larger the memory capacities, the more games you can download, store and play on your Xbox. But, if you are the latter, then you won’t need to spend so much on an XBox 360, as you will not require an exceptionally large memory capacity.

Ask What Your XBox 360 Can Do for You
We all know that the XBox 360 is great for playing games and movies. However, XBox 360s can be much more than simple video game system. Your XBox 360 can connect you online to the world if you want. You can shop for Microsoft and Xbox 360 items right from your console if you want. If you want your XBox 360 to be everything you need, then you should expect to shell out extra money for it. However, if you just want your XBox 360 to play games and nothing else, then you won’t have to spend as much money.

No matter what kind of XBox 360 you get or how you plan on using it, you should do a bit of research before you make that purchase. It’s never a good thing when you buy something you don’t really need, or when you purchase something that does not meet your needs and expectations. However, when armed with knowledge, you will be certain to purchase the right XBox 360 for you.

Lego Rock Band

1. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Possibly the greatest shooter game of all time, it continues and concludes the story of Solid Snake, the super-tough soldier and covert operative. It features exciting and real-time shooting action combined with a focus on stealthy maneuvering. Snake manages to defeat his great enemies Liquid Ocelot and Big Boss at long last, and end the world economy dependent on continual warfare. The graphics are possibly the best in any video game to date, and the plotline is the perfect cap to the epic journey of the Metal Gear Solid series. Many game review sites have given it perfect scores, and it is considered the greatest game in the franchise.

2. Fallout 3
The best of Bethesda’s dystopian future action RPGs. Fallout 3 takes place in a post-nuclear Washington D.C./Chesapeake Bay area. The main character, who is entirely customizable, leaves the safety of the Vault in which he/she lives to find his/her missing father and escape from the Vault’s insane leader. It features all sorts of customizable statistics, like skills and attributes that allow you to create a character that fits your preferences. It features the V.A.T.S. system that utilizes “bullet time” to let you target the weakest parts of your opponent’s body. It also has one of the most creepily cute mascots in gaming, the little smiling man on the Pip-Boy 3000. There is so much to do in this game that you will almost never be able to completely finish it.

3. Killzone 2
The latest in the tactical, third-person shooter, Playstation game series Killzone, it continues directly from the last two games, with the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance sending operatives right into the enemy Helghast home planet to take down its leader, Scholar Visari, to end the war. It has superb graphics for the system and exciting gameplay that will leave you sweating. Admittedly, the plot is not the best that a shooter game has ever had, especially considering such series as Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil. But the gameplay and the online multiplayer is so much fun that you can overlook the storyline deficiencies.

4. Resident Evil 5
The latest game in the Resident Evil series, it features a lot of the new conventions to the series that Resident Evil 4 started, like the over-the-shoulder perspective and the greater emphasis on larger-scale fighting with more kinds of weapons. It also features the return of the original male protagonist of the series, Chris Redfield and the continuation of his feud with the series’ central antagonist, the Machiavellian Albert Wesker. It has some of the best graphics on the Playstation 3 and extremely fast-paced gameplay that will constantly keep you on your feet.

5. Street Fighter IV
The latest installment of the seminal fighting game series, Street Fighter, and the newest numbered game in the series since 1999. It continues the series’ tradition of fighting on a 2D plane while utilizing 3D graphics. It also features new special attacks in combination with all the old gameplay that people know and love from the last games. It features nineteen returning characters and about half a dozen new ones. Although it does not have very many additional game modes, the gameplay itself is so solid, and there are so many combo options that it is easily another quality entry in this storied series.

In Soul Calibur 4, we finally discover the origins of the Soul Calibur saga, and the motivation behind their possession: vengeance, honor and salvation. With its spectacular graphics and stunning visual affects, whether you are a Playstation 3 fan or Xbox, this game is an absolute must have. It is important to note some of the following tips: Darth Vader will be a guest character on PS3 and Jedi Master Yoda on Xbox 360. The Apprentice is a key character in the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and is a playable character on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Soul Calibur 4. In the Tower of Lost Souls, the player will fight in special battles to gain rewards. Choosing your character’s clothing will not just affect their abilities in battle but also their appearance.

Active Matching Battle (AMB) is a unique factor as it allows a character to fight multiple battles simultaneously under different circumstances. Under the new Critical Finish system, there will be a Soul Gauge underneath the Health Meter. It fills up when you are on the attack and decreases when you are on guard. When that meter empties your enemy can strike you and break off part of your armor, altering your appearance and weakening you for the rest of the match. If you empty out your opponent’s Soul Gauge again, you have an opportunity to perform a Critical Finish move and kill the opponent instantly by pressing all four-face buttons at the same time.

DJ Hero Bundle with Turntable

If asked what a kid crazy about gaming wants for Christmas, his or her answer would be the games that are not yet released. The rarer they are, the more likely your kid will want them.

Aside from that, the type of game he or she wants will also depend on what your child typically likes. For example, an outgoing child that likes outdoor activities will most likely have fun with sports related games while a kid that loves mysteries may enjoy role playing games that have a lot of twists and turns. The gender of your kid will also be a factor. A little boy will be more excited with hack and slash adventure games and a little girl will most likely enjoy dress up personality games.

One type of game that seems to suit girls and boys alike are fighting games (much to the dismay of some parents). And of all the fighting games that every kid wants to have, the upcoming Tekken 6 may just be the one video game that every kid is wishing to get this Christmas. This game is said to be released this coming September 2009 (from the initial release date of December 2007).

But what sets Tekken 6 above all the other fighting games like Marvel Ultimate Alliance or DOA? Since Tekken 3 onwards, this installment’s graphics and fluidity of movement have topped all other fighting games. And now that this new version promises other features while retaining the user friendliness of the previous installments, kids and even adults alike are now raring to have the home version of this game.

Some of the new features of the game are as follows:

Rage System
This makes the game a whole lot exciting once your character’s life hits the red color. Your hit packs a lot more damage with this system. This is an automatic feature that you know will be working once you seem to have a red aura surrounding your player.

Customization
Just like in Tekken 5, you can customize your player like changing its clothes or even choosing to have it play virtually wearing his or her birthday suit. A nice feature that the guys in Namco Bandai concocted and placed in the game.

Item Moves
These moves basically do not have a huge hit point loss if used but they are very quirky if used. Some of the item moves in this game are Anna’s shoes. Asuka’s fan and the funniest of them all are Bruce Irvin’s chicks.

Longer Health
Some hardcore fans of the Tekken series are saying that the item moves and the rage system are very noob (new players) friendly but actually, Tekken 6 has a longer vitality meter, so these features are compensated.

Tekken actually has features that cater to boys and girls. The fighting part is a feature delighting both boys and girls and the customization most likely a feature to be enjoyed by girls. This is the reason why this is definitely the game every kid wants for Christmas.
