Chessmaster LIVE's Hip Hop Weekend

The intensity of chess and the in your face nature of hip hop. They go together almost as well as peanut butter and jelly. That's exactly why the Hip Hop Chess Federation (for reals) is sponsoring an Xbox Live Chessmaster LIVE Hip Hop Weekend full of chess, hip hop and giveaways. The Hip Hop weekend fun kicks off April 11th through the 13th, where gamers can sign up for a Play & Win, grab free Chessmaster LIVE downloads and experience the whole hip hop vibe. Like we said, chess and hip hop ... like peanut butter and jelly.

Rez HD and Chessmaster Live land on XBLA


If you've been waiting impatiently ever since Rez HD was first announced for Xbox Live Arcade, then today is your lucky day because it's finally here. If, on the other hand, you haven't been waiting for the game with bated breath, then we'd say it's still probably your lucky day because Rez just so happens to be a good game. We suggest you crank up the synesthetic, vibratory goodness as soon as possible. If, however, all that sounds like too much stimulation, perhaps you'd rather play a leisurely game of chess. It's still your lucky day then because Chessmaster Live is also available today. Both games can be yours if the price is right. The right price, incidentally, is 800 MS Points each.

Chessmaster Live checkmates XBLA in January

Calling all chess pros and rooks (badum-ching!) Soon there will be a new chess game in town and it's ready and able to challenge you to a few ego-breaking games.

Ubisoft just announced that the latest game in their Chessmaster series, Chessmaster Live will be making its way to the Xbox Live Arcade sometime in January. Chessmaster Live will include fleshed out features like ELO rankings, hundreds of AI opponents, complete Xbox Live integration, Vision camera support, various game boards and will even come with five chess variants off the bat (more will probably release later on as paid DLC). So ... Spyglass Board Games what?
