New Apps for Xbox Live

What, is that all this future has got? No matter how much you plan to view all the episodes of y our favorite show, it is gotta be time consuming like it may take days to weeks to finish watching everything on your Xbox 360 console. Perhaps they should have implemented this earlier or so. Crunchyroll, AOL On, Vimeo and even that ignorant IGN are the ones we probably know of we had gone there before. For Crunchyroll, this is where you can watch your favorite shows there from whichever culture you like. It is launching in all Live Markets except Japan, UAE, Slovakia and Saudi Arabia which may be due to some laws or whatever but come on, that place is where we have the rights to view stuffs on online legally compared to other sites which may be the illegal ways. AOL On, well, whatever it is, it is the video sharing service by AOL where you can watch the videos under Reuters, Entertainment Tonight and more. Vimeo, well, unfortunately, maybe I should go back to my YouTube videos anyway as there was no sign of momentum there whatever.

Lastly is the ignorant IGN site where you can see the previews, reviews, guides and the beginner-like gameplay videos as well as the instant access to game walkthrough. The reason I called that site ignorant is that I had found some game like SFR for Xbox 360 to be the failure as the control concepts were already complex to be implemented into the Kinect technology as such sports like skateboarding may be kind of tough for it. Also, the contents were unusual and the voice execution in gameplay is annoying. The final boss battle was kind of disappointing and the course exclusive stuffs were kind of retarded in terms of the idea. Lastly, the menus had the serious downsides to me as well. I surely don’t like to use the freaking voice command so I turned that off entirely on my console. To make things worse, you may have to memorize those things to make the voice commands kind of non-responsive and the interactivity doesn’t seem to be effective enough like you have to drag whatever you select to the bottom-right icon. Well, stay away from that Kinect game no matter but then IGN gave this a 7 which caused the fans of the franchise to be angry and this is why the site, IGN is as ignorant as ever that we prefer Classic Game Room even better. Their reviews are better and they even reviewed the retro games and other games not released in the western regions.
