Hi Members and Guests,
I'm looking for some BETA testers to help me with a new area on 360-HQ.
I have just finished creating our new official toolbar which automatically updates you on all our xbox 360 info from across the entire site. I'm sure any xbox 360 gamer would love the new toolbar and would find it very useful.
THE TOOLBAR AUTO UPDATES! - IE users may need to click the HQ icon and choose refresh toolbar occassionally if there toolbar is not auto updating.. (working on this)
I have added a screenshot of our toolbar in action below.. Check it out and please download it to support the site.
The toolbar has lots of cool features including:
- XBOX Live buttons (my friends, my games, my xbox, marketplace)
- Youtube Xbox 360 Channel
- HQ Arcade Games
- Local Weather
- Web Radio/Podcast player
- Site Menu
- Email Reminders (all email addresses)
- HQ Live Chat
+ much more coming.
Stay up to date no matter which site you are looking at.
I plan to have the toolbar intergrate into each and every website so we can all play HI-SCORE flashgames together while we are waiting on replies, tips or we are just bored hanging out. Many of the games available on XBOX LIVE ARCADE i have created myself in flash on HQ.
If your looking for my games look for games like:
1942, ik++, ms. pacman, ned nebula, and some other cool ones.
If you have downloaded the toolbar and are using it please reply so i can add you to the testers list.. It is near 100% functional and updating daily.
Games currently working 100%:
- 1942
- Frogger
- IK++
- Track & Field
- Time Pilot
- Pengu x3
- Street Fighter
- Bombjack
- Super Sprint
and other cool classic games.
I need to pretty it up now.. Im looking into designing an old school arcade machine looking wrap around border for the toolbar when playing a game.. Then hopefully i can load banner art and cool pics for it while playing.
Please note that this is a HQ Network project and not only for 360-hq. Thanx to all who have the time.

Great to have your guys helping out..
BETA TESTERS:
1. Please be sure you login on http://www.xbox-hq.com. This will make sure your hi-score are being recorded.
2. Games can be played from any website. You do NOT need to be on HQ. Try it out and check to see if your hiscore records ok!
3. If a game doesnt record a hiscore please make a post.
4. Keep an eye out for updates and make requests for improvements
What Im Doing:
Im currently setting up a stand alone domain for all HQ Network Flashgames.. This way our games, hiscores will be centralized and all our members from each site including: xbox-hq. 360-hq, and all our other sisters sites can play and chat together without any hassle.
Dont worry, still with the same username and password you always use..
Ive been coding alot lately since i finally got my internet back on so hopefully you should see some more great idea from me in the near future.
The toolbar should keep us all in touch with each other and as soon as i have more time and suggestions we can add to this toolbar LIVE!.. When i update it all users will be updated!
Grate tool Hobbs, got mail set up fast as hell which is a huge change from any other email app i have used.
