The news, ladies and gentlemen,


IGN: Rock Band 2 review: Score-wise, it's a little less then I thought it would be, content-wise, it sounds exactly how I thought it would.

Megadeath album coming to Rock Band: No Hanger 18? No buy.

EA pisses off fans with overkill DRM: This shows how much DRM helps... *cough*

Eidos releases Batman: Arkham Asylum screens: It's official, this game will look awesome.

Fallout 3 Survival edition = Sold out: Does that mean there will be no survivors?

PS3 'Boomerang' controller mod: A different modding world to thank, but a modding world nonetheless.

Spore downloaded 35,000 times in 2 days. Yay DRM: So, harsh DRM that sorely punishes the buyers, but doesn't stop pirates... what's wrong with this picture?

According to this person, the reason we continue to play games: 'Loot': Uh, right, I'll go and play some game I've 100%'d over again now.

Resident Evil activity book for kids!: I Laughed.

Muslim Massacre creator apologizes and pulls game: This is sad, I think he should be able to keep what he made up, even if I completely despise the game.

Exclusives are a dying breed: First problem: Street Fighter IV was never going to be exclusive. Second, sure normal exclusives might be dead, but if there's money, influence, and companies being owned, there's going to be exclusives.

After all that, the 360 only barely outsold the PS3 in August: Sure, 10,000 is a lot of units, but not next to nearly 200,000.

Old Snake and Dante to appear in MotorStorm Pacific Rift?: I'm all for cross overs, but this seems like an odd match, oh well. :)

Resistance: Fall of Man vs Halo 3: Resistance actually does have some stuff that Halo 3 lacks, one of which is the 'satisfied' feeling you get from mowing enemies down, that I thought Halo 3 kind of lacked. Still, Halo 3 has a tone more features, and better online.

Five good things about Killzone 2: Destructible toilets equals a win from me. It's funny, I am looking forward to the single player of this game, but it looks like this game will *also* have a good multiplayer. :)

Mirror's Edge timed Playstation 3 exclusive?: It wouldn't surprise me too much, because of the developer's Praising the PS3, and such. However, it wouldn't surprise me if it was completely false as well.

That's all for now! :P
