Announcement: I’ve joined Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry
Hi all! This is just a quick note to say that XSReviews will be updated a little less because I’ve begun working for Digital Foundry, a portion of Eurogamer and Gamer Network. I’ll keep putting up the reviews that I’ve already started, but new reviews and other content are likely to appear on their site…

Sorry for the downtime
For anyone that’s attempted to access the site in the past few days, I apologise for the downtime. Unfortunately, due to WordPress’ popularity, it’s not uncommon for sites like this that don’t have a budget for regularly updating the site’s backend, sometimes vulnerabilities are exploited and in this case a few of our files were…

Are you a fan of Whoopty’s work?
As unlikely as it is, it’s a question that begs answering, because Jon/Whoopty, XSR admin, me, now has a page on Facebook and a Twitter account for keeping up with my other writing outside of the review site.

What are you doing here? It’s Christmas
Well perhaps you don’t celebrate it, maybe for some reason XSR is one of those sites you visit every day or maybe you’re just looking around and ended up here. Either way, have a happy Christmas from everyone here at XSReviews. 2012 hasn’t been the strongest year for the site, but we’re still here ticking…

Happy birthday to XSReviews, as today we celebrate the 6th anniversary of its creation. I just want to take this opportunity to thank everybody that’s read and contributed to our content over this time.

Look what I just got
Not sure if it was supposed to get here before Christmas – probably, though I haven’t seen any other sites mention them – but it’s a little “holiday” present from Steelseries. Not only do a I get a little thank you note that I’ll quote from below, but an old school NES cartridge with some…

Desperate Upgrade Winners Announced
Thanks to everyone for entering this competition, it’s been hard choosing between the heart felt pleas and the humourous requests for an upgrade. It’s a shame it had to be whittled down to just five as I could easily have picked 10 or more of you. However, five is the magic number in this instance,…

Our buddies over at Immacula are joining in and the darling of the bunch, Chris, has yet to receive much in the way of…
