My Game of the Year: Call of Duty: Black Ops
I’ll be honest here. Unlike a few of the other editors who had an easy time choosing their GOTY, this was a very tough decision for me. So much so that I considered not writing a piece and am still not sure this is the right pick. That’s not to say that Black Ops isn’t… Continue reading My Game of the Year: Call of Duty: Black Ops

My Game of the Year: Fallout New Vegas
After a good week of thinking it through between Mass Effect 2 and New Vegas, I settled on the latter as my Game of the Year. They’re both very good games (which is why they were both possible options) but, on reflection, I realised that Mass Effect 2 had a bit too many issues… Continue reading My Game of the Year: Fallout New Vegas
My Game of the Year: Mass Effect 2
I can’t really say this was a difficult choice. I’ve played a fair few games this year, but nothing was able to top a release seen in its very first month. While I absolutely loved GTA IV, I couldn’t help feeling disappointed with Red Dead Redemption. And even though Rock Band 2 is one… Continue reading My Game of the Year: Mass Effect 2
My Game of the Year: Metal Gear Solid – Peace Walker
While some of the others have sounded off on their nominations for our Press X Or Die Game Of The Year, I find myself next up in the panel of judges. And while my choice of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will have some of you baffled, others will see that in a grander scheme… Continue reading My Game of the Year: Metal Gear Solid – Peace Walker
My Game of the Year: Red Dead Redemption
I’m going to be honest, this wasn’t even a contest. The only other games I even considered putting forward were Fallout: New Vegas and Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, and that was for all of about 30 seconds. From the moment I heard “open world cowboy game” there really could be no doubt what my favorite game… Continue reading My Game of the Year: Red Dead Redemption
PXoD Game of the Year
Well it’s that time of the year again, where we have to sort through the proverbial mountain of new games we’ve amassed throughout the last twelve months, and decide which one of them was arguably the best that we’ve played. And we at Press X or Die have come up with our own way of doing… Continue reading PXoD Game of the Year

Microsoft’s Digital Distribution service and PC game brand recently relaunched as part of Microsoft’s new push into PC gaming. The Games for Windows brand first launched in 2006 alongside Windows Vista, with a download service and client launching in ‘08. It’s garnered a bit of a bad rap amongst gamers for high prices, limited library… Continue reading Games for Windows: A Work in Progress

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd Enjoys Huge Japan Launch
To say that Monster Hunter is a big franchise in Japan would be putting it modestly. The 3rd in the PSP series launched on Tuesday. How did it go? Well, let’s just say that “monster” is a very suitable word.
One Year of Press X or Die
Today marks PressXorDie’s first anniversary. It’s been a pretty good year. We’re nowhere in the big leagues yet, but we’re doing pretty well. For me, Press X or Die has been about personal growth; extending my video game hobby as well as improving my writing skills, which is still a work in progress. After making… Continue reading One Year of Press X or Die
