Frontlines Map Pack Hits Xbox Live

Mike Fahey — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:20:00 EDT

Anyone out there still playing Frontlines: Fuel of War? Yes you, in the back. This post is for you then.

TimeShift 360 Gets Untimely Free Map Pack

Mike Fahey — Fri, 09 May 2008 13:20:00 EDT

The pack will cost you absolutely nothing to download, as Sierra is most likely desperately trying to drum up interest for the game, a solid title that had the misfortune of being delayed to the point where they had to release it between Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4, effectively ensuring that the multiplayer audience for the title would be far too busy doing other, more important things. It's ironic how horribly time has treated TimeShift. I'm just glad they didn't release this map pack within weeks of another blockbuster game with amazing multiplayer was released. Oh wait. More »
