Leisure Suit Larry! Sweet. I remember hiding in my friends basement hoping to catch a look at some cartoon boobs back when I was like 10 or something.

M$ ran out of time to mention Bungie's next Halo project? WTF? Take out the lips demo or some of the other stupid games they showcased! I think that is just a load of crap!

The SECRET DEATH OF Xbox360 (a must read) Great read! Are the missing iphones and 360's in the hands of terrorists?

That post about a 360 shortage would seem to contradict that post a few weeks ago about MS inflating their sales numbers by pushing retailers to overstock 360's.

You think Bungie might take that ricochet bullet concept from COD4, that targets the people who team kill? It's a cool idea. Could use it in Halo 3.

BG&E was a very underated game more people should have played it. My kids totally love the Raving Rabbids Games, they were totally stoked to see that video. Looks like good use of the Wii Fit board.

Check out the selection of games the BBs in your area has before you commit. It costs as much as Gamefly I think and they have way less selection.

Sho, i used to do that a lot. Then between wasting a lot of time writing stuff and having other people submit a similar story ahead of mine making the time I spent writing an article wasted and the amount of time it takes for stuff to actually go from submission to being on the front page and the selection process so sometimes your stuff doesn't get put up there even if it's unique, i just decided i'd do what I do and let other people tend to the 'front page'.

Does the Summer Games include the "Running for your Life" Olympic torch run? Or maybe the Javelin Toss will have Tibetans lined up in the grass to measure distance.

I read the COD4 article. I can't help but wonder why we can't get a good length single player campaign as well as a good multiplayer game.

God I hope EA doesn't get there claws into Take 2. We really need some independent companies out there that will make unique games, not the Bullshit that EA pumps out on a regular basis. But, in the end, the all mighty dollar will win out. Makes me sad.

Ya, you seem to get one or the other. Devs seem to decide if their game is going to be MP or Story heavy and then just 'trow in' the other part. Games that do a good job at both are few and far between.

and what a dick , ms is stupid, this just goes to show they dont care about the fans, its all about them. they have a couple core games the drive there counsel and they dont talk about them? how stupid is that? while i agree the dashboard update is huge and basically a ripoff of the mii its still cool, and i like gow2 as well but i want to see the other big hitters.

WiiSports 2 i think is designed mostly to showcase what the WiiMotion Pro thing can do. It comes with one of those connectors in the box. I thought Microsoft's announcements were solid. I've got 7 titles lined up for oct/nov. Fable2, Fallout3, Ghostbusters, EndWar, GoW2, Left4Dead and COD5. With that many solid games coming in those two months, i won't need to buy any more games until next fall! :lol:

but wait, the biggest gaming conference on earth, isn't big enough for the announcement of the next Halo game....are they going to hijack the World Series, or the Superbowl to make the announcement? maby take over the Emergency Alert System for the announcement so it is on every TV and Radio in the US....ok, that would be pretty cool if they could pull that off.

Oh the fly out guide that you get when you press the guide button on the controller .... that'll be a mini-version of the current dashboard design. You get the blade interface with lots of options in there. That's their way of keeping a bit of the old and familiar in with the new hottness.
