Not to brag, but the biggest change in your life this week had to be the new commenting structure, amirite? Starred or not, editing capabilities means no more humiliating typos or icky oops-was-that-my-out-loud-voice moments.

After bestowing such begged-for powers, and others not even demanded, we did our damndest to serve up some stories worthy of enhanced debate. A.J. visited Ubinintendo 2009 and came back with previews of Red Steel 2 and six other games. Stephen delved into the vinyl to decode BioShock 2's swag and took an axe swing at Brütal Legend. Fahey dropped in a timely discussion of humor, especially that of the classic adventure games that LucasArts is now rereleasing on Steam. And the Summer of Gaming rolls on. Here's the week in Original reporting:
