I'm in a bit of a gaming rut. I got halo wars for 30 bucks shipped, but I think I'm going to wait to download 'Splosion Man on the 22nd and try it first. I love 2D platform games.

'Splosion Man is a lot of fun.

The Nintendo DS pretty much rocks. Especially with an R4 card.

Homeland Security apparently doesn't have anything better to do than bust guys who mod xboxes.

Speaking to Wired.com’s Threat Level blog, Crippen admits he modified consoles for $30 a job, but claims “This is for your legally made backups. If you’re talking about piracy, I’m not helping you out.”

He probably should've read the DMCA and realized that this was made every bit as illegal as violating copyrights, which seems to me at once both overly oppressive and the reasonable response to this lame justification people make for piracy.

You can get Madden 10, a full year subscription to Sports Illustrated and some John Madden DVD for $49.

My 360 is giving me 3 flashing red lights. Pisses me off because I really wanted to play some Tom Clancy games of mine the past few days, but Microsoft is going to fix it free of charge even though it's way out of warranty, plus they're sending me a package and label to ship it in so that I don't have to pay for shipping.

I recommend trying splosion man, geometry wars 2 and peggle.


I'm convinced downloadable titles is the best new development this gen.
