Are you looking to extend your Xbox Live memberber, to create a second account for a friend, or to get free microsoft points to spend in the Xbox Live Marketplace on map packs or full games? You can do all of the above quickly, easily, and absolutely free. This is the easiest way of earning free microsoft points or an Xbox Live Membership and will only take you around thirty minutes of your time before you receive your prize.
The first this you will need to do is sign up for your account. Head on over to the Rewards site to sign up for your free account that will be credited with points. I suggest creating a free yahoo email to use in the easy surveys you can take. This will divert all spam mail to another email address of yours and you’ll never have to deal with it ever again.
Once you have an account set up, head on over to the site and log in. Click on the offers and then on free offers. These offers are pretty easy to complete. Some of them, all you have to do is enter your email and an address and you are credited for them and a step closer to your free microsoft points. Once you receive 2000 points you can request your 1,600 free microsoft points or if you wait until you’re at 5000 points you can request your 4,000 free microsoft points. With only 800 points you can get a 1 month xbox live gold card for free.
I have received countless free microsoft points cards and xbox live accounts over the last few months. In fact, some of my better months I received well over 40,000 points! I enjoy the freedom of the Xbox Live Marketplace, especially when I have 10,000 microsoft points on my gamertag that I can spend.
If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask! Comment about your success with this site, along with different games you’ve gotten from your free microsoft points. I’m always looking for new games to download.

The game, Final Fantasy XIII, is going to be coming out early this week on Tuesday, March 9th, 2010, for the Sony PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. This game is a role playing game that many people are looking forward to. However, X-Play’s Rob Manuel for the chance to give the game a try. The following is the review that was given to the game:
“Final Fantasy XIII is not a weekend rental, it’s a commitment. Sure, that sounds obvious to any fan of the blockbuster role-playing series, but Square Enix’s dramatic changes to its formula will prove jarring to many longtime fans. Not everyone will enjoy being thrust into a world of chaotic action and feverish flipping of menus. Don’t get me wrong, the new battle system is more of an evolution of previous systems rather than a cheap gimmick. But even as a longtime fan of the series, I wonder how others will come to terms with so many drastic changes. I, for one, grew to truly enjoy it.”
Is this a game that interests you? Be sure to check it out when it releases in this upcoming week.

Sony has just recently given the announcement that SOCOM 4 is a game, from Zipper, that is not only just being worked on at the moment, but it is going to be released in the fall of this year. As of right now, there are not many details as you could easily figure out. However, here is what Jeremy Dunham, the Zipper community manager, had to say so far:
“A militant revolutionary has unexpectedly seized control in an important South Asian country. As the Ops Com, your mission is to command an elite five-man squad charged with stopping his aggressive agenda before it’s too late. In only six days, you must lead your team through a hostile jungle and urban environments against an army of well-armed rebel insurgents that completely outnumber you. We’re still fully committed to supporting MAG for a long, long time, and the addition of another game in our lineup doesn’t change that.”
For all of you SOCOM fans, what do you hope to find in the next part of this franchise? Are you excited?

10. Killzone 2 – $45 million
Each of these ten games were made for the different consoles such as the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 and the PC. As you can easily see, a lot of companies will go to great lengths to be able to produce a great game in hopes of gaining their money back in sales. Of course, when having such a high budget, companies have to be sure that the game will appeal to gamers so that they can earn their money back. Grand Theft Auto IV spent 100 million dollars and this helps prove the high amounts it costs to make such a great games. As the gaming world continues to grow, more money needs to be spent in producing. However, is this showing that more money will make for better games or sometimes is it the more simple games that people enjoy? What do you think about such high budgets for creating games?
