Earlier this week, someone in the marketing group left the office to go to lunch and forgot to take their cell phone with them. Cell phones are everywhere these days, so it's completely natural to hear them ring and ring and ring or hear someone talking on their phone in the background. Like most things, cell phones have become another layer of noise that just gets filtered out in our daily lives.

That is true for most cell phones, but definitely not this cell phone. Had the phone not rung so much, there would not have been a problem, but the marketing department is usually in high demand. When we're not at our desks and projects are approaching deadlines, people frantically call our cell phones in a last ditch effort to get a hold of us.

Not only was the phone set to the equivalent of a "concert stadium" volume, but also the ringtone was absolutely annoying. That was only the phase one attack pattern of this evil phone - there was also the more sinister second phase, the "voicemail" notification. Best described as a fast repeating audio loop reminiscent of something you might hear at a circus carnival (and why you would want that as your voicemail tone is anyone's guess), the voicemail sound was actually more annoying than the phone's ringtone and 10 times more noticeable to the people trying to work.

The first two or three times the whole phase one/phase two happened, people continued on with their work, assuming someone had just walked away from their desk temporarily and missed a phone call. However, the phone calls kept coming in and people were starting to get annoyed, but no one was willing to find out who had the phone and confront them. But then the calls continued until we couldn't take anymore.

As if it was scripted on cue, several people all said at the same time "Whose cell phone is that? Stop that ringing!!!" We honed in on the obnoxious sounds to pinpoint the phone's position and immediately discovered the phone's owner was out to lunch. Refusing to listen to the noise anymore, we didn't even bother looking for the conveniently placed mute button. No no no...this phone was due punishment.

We immediately confiscated the phone and packed the phone in multiple boxes and shipping containers - each one larger than the last. Tape was used to seal the outer box multiple times around and bubble wrap was placed on the outside (not inside) to make it especially unattractive. The mutli-layered box contraption was left on the chair of the unsuspecting "out to lunch" employee. The rest of us could breathe a sigh of relief now that the phone's disruptive fury was silenced and productivity was restored (well, except for the one who had to now unwrap the most annoying box ever created).

Lesson of the day: Check the volume of your cell phone before leaving it unattended, and remember that your ringtones and voicemail notifications are going to be heard by others. If you don't, you may find your phone in a box one day.

The time adventure began when Dr. Hugo Clock thought he could bring about world peace with his incredible new time machine. Instead, the time machine he originally built to prevent World War I from happening is now being used to advance Dr. Klaus Scythe's evil agenda of world domination. Scythe is traveling through time to collect the most powerful weaponry the world has ever seen, intending to unleash these horrors on times and places never meant to face them.

It's up to Clock to chase Scythe through time in an aerial adventure that spans the past, present, and future. Clock will pilot some of the most formidable airplanes in history to bring Scythe to justice, including fierce WWII bombers, modern day fighter jets, and amazingly advanced space machines. But, even for a time traveler, is it too late to stop Scythe from ensuring a never-ending history of terror?

Inspired by sci-fi classics of the 80's like Aliens and Predator, Super Contra tells the grim story of the second alien invasion stopped by the relentless super-soldiers Bill Rizer and Lance Bean. This time the enemy has infested the elite GX Army unit in South America, forcing Lance and Bill to turn on their own former comrades.

Similar in terms of gameplay to its classic forebear, Contra, Super Contra earned an immortal place in gamers' hearts by upping the difficulty and skill required to finish. Once again, players must battle through a series of stunning 2D levels that scroll through the action from a variety of perspectives. If Contra was the height of the run n' gun genre, then Super Contra was its magnum opus.

While little information about how Super Contra will come to Live Arcade has been released as of yet, Konami fans are already excited. Keep your eyes peeled for more announcements about Super Contra and other upcoming Konami games for Xbox® Live Arcade.
