The Best Gaming Reputation
My friends on Xbox Live kind of group up with the various games I play from shooters, fighters to puzzlers and so on. Some people have played with me since I first got my Xbox 360 Elite and they’ve seen me through my growth as a gamer. Others have encountered me first hand while I…

Sharing is caring
Once in a while I come out to play the new exciting, shiny things with Ready Up and share my insight when reviewing an upcoming title. However let me remind you that a lot of us writers here at Ready Up have normal lives just as you do. I certainly don’t have the lifestyle where…

Dante may cry
It’s a pretty rare thing for me to do but one evening I found myself scuttling through the horrendous maze of the NXE Game Marketplace. Is it just me or do we have to go through even more hassle in browsing around? Anyway along the way of adding game trailers, teasers, demos and the like…

Preview: Batman Arkham Asylum
Only two minutes in and the familiar deranged, sinister world swept overwhelming nostalgia over everybody in the room. Tiny Shaz curled up on the sofa, hugging her knees with eyes glued to the screen; captivated by a classic comic-book hero. Her jaw was wide open as she was helplessly fixated on the dark knight, the…

Battlestations: Pacific
Eidos invited Ready Up to try out Battlestations: Pacific multi-player. We sent our little legged gamer, Shaz. Honestly? I’ve had no previous experience with Battlestations: Midway. I vaguely knew of what was in store for me as I trotted along through the corridors of Eidos into their LAN gaming room. The last time I had…
