Apparently he has pulled it from his site until he gets the bugs worked out.
Because of the high demand which I never expected. I have temporarily removed the application for download because of bandwith limitations and out of respect for Microsoft(I don't want this to affect them negatively in any way). I have applied to be an Xbox Community Developer. Once/If I have been granted this status I will continue to develop the application with more and better features. Thanks for all of the interest.

Here is a table of average game ratings from a couple of sites I visit.
With GR, it changes constantly as more votes are received.
Sorry, your table screwed up the formatting of the page...I had to pull it. I've got it saved locally if you still want the code to try and fix it. L&O

Burger King To Sell Xbox 360 Games?
READ MORE: Xbox, burger king, food, top, xbox 360
Hamburger flipper Burger King is considering a promotion that offers 3 exclusive BK-branded games. Each would feature their own characters (in this case, the actual Burger King) in “popular” genres (fighting, action and racing). The action game is apparently similar to Halo, while the fighter combines Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. Just tack on a “with hamburgers,” and you get the drift.
Marketing research company Greenfield Online sent around a survey regarding the plan apparently and leaked some mock-up and concept images for the proposed campaign. Still in the conceptual stage apparently, the titles would go for US $4 and be compatible with both the original Xbox and the 360. This all makes sense as BK has already jumped into in-game advertising feet first.
But, four bucks for a 360 game? With the Angus Cheesy Bacon Steak Burger going for US $3.69 and Oblivion asking US $59.99, one of them is overpriced.
Concept artwork after the jump.

Update: It’s real, and Burger King is threatening to sue us.

Turns out that despite all those breaking into people’s homes, running across football fields and trying to shove people off high rises, the King isn’t as cheerful a guy as one might suspect.
The General Counsel for Greenfield Online, the company conducting a survey about Burger King possibly creating some next-gen King-infested video games, was the opposite of delighted to learn that we were sent the information along with concept images.
The GC of GO (for BK) claims we are violating the intellectual property rights of Burger King and demands we remove the images and text post haste.
We’re not taking down the post, but we will take some of those scrumptious breakfast sandwiches the King has been peddling. We’ll gladly trade in our claim of Fair Use for a bag full of delicious sausage Croissan’wiches.
Hit the jump for the official lawyer speak. I guess we can take this as a confirmation?

I just thought that I would share an interesting problem that I had found a solution to yesterday.
I have 4 wireless controllers and I was able to get the first one to work with no problem. After trying to hook up all three other controllers, I could not get any of them to sync up. I tried replacing the batteries, hitting the sync button at the top serveral times, etc.
I finally ended up hooking up a controller, using the one Play and Charge kit that I have for my main controller. I was able to sync up the controllers one at a time using the Play & Charge kit, and then I could switch back to the regular batteries no problem. There must be some USB connection detection that goes on with the 360, like the rest of the Windows OS's.
Just a heads up for people that have more than one wireless controller.

Just sat down and started up TR:Legend and halfway through the opening I got a screech and game froze and the infamous 3 red lights on the ring ARGHH!!! I'm on hold now with MS and have unplugged it and tried to restart it with and without the HD. Launchday unit, I guess I'm screwed that they will fix anything free.

Just thought I'd let you know... you have to first hit the little receiver button on the 360 itself. That'll make the ring of light start swirling letting you know it's looking for a controller. Then you HOLD the button on the controller and the ring of light starts to flash. Let go, and you should be all set.

I just bought a universal remote for my 360. It says you have to program the remote by putting in your tv code but I can't find a listing of the codes anywhere. If anyone has them, could you please pass them my way? Thanks for any help you might have on this subject.

Also, looks like some othre games got updates to. Burnout has 7 cars for download. All the retail and branded cars. Those are free.
PGR3 has some cars and a speed pack for download. They are charging for them, but one car is free. Not sure if I will get those. I heard that there might be more tracks and achivements coming soon. But I haven't played the game in a long time.

Looks like that's not all of them. Aren't there Best Buy and Circuit City cars too?
