F-Zero is one of Nintendo's most prominent series. Its games are on nearly every Nintendo console known. The SNES, N64, GBA, Nintendo DS all have been graced with the appearance of an F-Zero game. However, F-Zero is one of the most underrated and ignored game series on the Nintendo. F-Zero is a futuristic racing series that takes place in the late 21st century.

Each race consists of around 30 racers each competing for the goal. However, unlike most racing games, F-Zero does not have any items or special features. It is just plain racing. High speeds of over 2000 miles per hour are not common and killing many racers to get ahead is the norm. In this series, racers compete in a variety of courses such as Port Town, Big Blue, Mute City, White Land and Red Canyon. The main character in the series is Captain Falcon.

He is a bounty hunter who rides the fast and powerful Blue Falcon. However, the series has quite a story line such as defeating evil enemies such as the Black Shadow, Zoda and Blood Falcon. In F-Zero GX a story mode was added that allowed gamers to compete in a variety of courses with intended goals. Also, in F-Zero GX, gamers can build and optimize cars with custom parts that can be bought at a shot. With all of these features, one would have to ask why this series is so underrated and little known. This answer to me is still a mystery. It is a great series and remains as one of Nintendo's best series.

If you have found your way to this article then you are probably having problems with your Xbox 360 and some of the most common include your games freezing, red lights, graphical glitches and also your DVD drive will sometimes not play any games.

All of the above problems are caused by the motherboard overheating, and the reason that you get different problems is because the heat will sometimes effect different parts of the system hence the reason that some people will get red lights and others will get faulty DVD drives.

Basically, as the Xbox heats up the two main chips on the motherboard called the GPU and the CPU take the brunt of the heat and eventually they will shut themselves off and that is when you get a game freeze. Then as the console takes more and more heat the soldering becomes lose and snaps off and that is when you will see the red lights flashing.

If you have any of the above problems then I would suggest that you give Microsoft customer support a quick call and they will probably tell you to do a series of tests and then let you know that they are sending you an empty box to put your console in and ship it back to them for repairs.
