With the launch of the Zune HD rolls out the Zune 4.0 software for PC. Adding features like quickplay, downloading Zune HD apps, smart playlists, and more. Quick play is the new default screen and allows you easily to play new songs in your collection, look at recently played songs, and room to bookmark artists, playlists, etc. It also offers apps for the Zune HD users from the marketplace such as weather, games, and Facebook is soon to come. The update also includes a much needed mini player so you can keep music running without having to take up your whole screen.

They also changed up the now playing screen with a little better graphics. Another new feature added is a “Smart DJ”, very similar to iTunes Genius bar. Basically the Smart DJ feature allows you to automatically make a playlist by putting in an artist you like and it generates a playlist from other bands based on it. Overall a great update, and an even better update if you’re a Zune HD user (if apps take off more, only a few at the moment).

We now finally have 200 games in the Insane Central Arcade, all hand picked by us. I just want to thank everyone for visiting the site, and lets hope to get to 300 games.

Been playing Fallout 3 over the past week and must say it is one amazing game. This game is very similar to Oblivion, but with guns and it really creates one hell of a game. I’ve only done few of the main story missions, I’ve had a ton of fun just exploring.

  

As someone who hasn’t played earlier versions of Fallout the VATS aiming system is really a lot of fun. Shooting someone right in the head gives you a great gory kill you would expect in a game. Overall it feels like Oblivion, Bioshock, and Stalker combined into one; which is an experience no one should miss out on.

Doesn’t get much better then this.

Saints Row 2 is a sequel to Saints Row where you arrive at a hospital in prison after waking up from a coma which you get put into in the first game. Compared to the first game, there is a lot more stuff in this game, more activities, more missions, more cars (and planes!), more action, and more weapons. When you awake you are met by someone who breaks you out of prison which eventually leads to you becoming the leader of the saints and “owning” Stillwater.

You no longer own the church in the game (and never do) because it belongs to the Ultor corporation which is taking over the city. One thing I must say that this is NOT Grad Theft Auto IV, don’t expect amazing graphics or incredible AI, this is like GTA on cocaine. That said, it is still a very good game though, all the activities and missions all feel fresh and are a lot of fun. The whole game will take you about 25 hours to beat but thats not including finishing all the activites. Much of the fun I had was playing coop which you can play every mission and every activity together and adds new elements for the 2nd player rather then rehashing the original activity. Coop and vs multiplayer are totally different though, coop is little lag and you can roam the whole city while the versus is laggy, in a small level and overall not a lot of fun. Overall the game is a lot of fun and I think it’s worth playing atleast once.

We now have 1000 members signed up on the arcade. Everyone remember to check out the arcade and play some great games. Now lets try to get 2000 members!

Today marks the 3 year anniversary of Insane Central! Over 180 arcade games, 30 videos, some blog posts and MILLIONS of visitors. Hope we make it to 5 years! First starting out as Insane PSP 5 years ago then we switched over to Insane Central and it became a popular flash game site. I want to thank everyone for telling their friends about the site and visiting often.

Have Fun,

I bought a eee pc 901 this week, just got it today. Pretty good so far, writing this post from it. Keyboard takes a little to get used to but overall a good design and size. Right now I have Linux on it but it could be better which is why I’ll put XP on it over the weekend. Already did a video chat which works good, everything that you would expect to work on a laptop works. A cool little device with great mobility and battery life that is good for everyday use.

Are you a member of Twitter and a fan on Insane Central? Well now we have a twitter that announces new games, videos, and blog posts. Just a good way to stay up to date on new things on the site.

Looking for a webcam for your pc? Well here are the console cameras that you may already have.

The Xbox Vision Camera has a better picture then the eyetoy. It is easier to install, easier to focus and much smaller then the eyetoy.

The Playstation Eyetoy is a little bigger and a stretch to install, but includes a great mic which is a huge plus.

Out of the both I would recommend the Eyetoy more because it’s most likely cheaper and the mic can be used for programs such as skype and works great.
