I made it through all 13 minutes and 37 seconds of I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MBIES 1N IT!!!1. Score was 752,840. This is an indie dual stick shooter for the Xbox 360. Only one dollar. You must get this top-shelf game, my friends, if you like Geometry Wars and similar games.

In true Minnesota (home of the runner-up) fashion, I came in second in the 50 week Atari 2600 High Score Club. Scored 344 points, which averages to 6.88 points a week. Key to my success? I played every week. The guy who came in first was the only other person to play every week.
I don’t expect to participate nearly as much this next season. Although the first game in season 8 is Solaris, and I really should give that game a try.
I recommend playing. You end up playing games that you otherwise wouldn’t be trying. Also gets the competitive juices flowing.
A homebrew version of Halo has been coded up by some guy named Ed. This guy Ed is really Ed Fries, the vice-president of game publishing for Microsoft during the original Xbox’s lifescycle.

From the AtariAge forum thread, the employees of Bungie already have their cartridges of Halo 2600.
I played a bit of it using my Harmony cart, and it is very well done. Simplistic in gameplay, but that is to be expected. Here is an initial impressions video someone else did off of youtube.
I call it, board. Keep it a secret, I haven’t filed for the patent yet.
Nothing earth shattering, but nice to see the old boy still keeping up with things.
