I don't think that releasing Guitar Hero 5 around the time of Beatles Rock Band is the worst idea they could have. The Beatles: Rock Band has the potential to pick up a number of new casual gamers (and people who like the Beatles) and put them on the Rock Band side of the plastic instrument battle. Read more

Wow, Crecente. Your wife's an Iron Woman! Read more

@MC Double Def DP: There's a chest of all the most famous locks from Maryland buried under Hornbake. Sergey Brin, Jim Henson, Brian Crecente... so get digging! Read more

@vid3oman64: As was I. Read more

@vid3oman64: Someone's from North Carolina... or Duke... or just has their head where the sun don't shine! Read more

As a student currently taking his finals at UMD, thanks for scaring the living crap out of me, Crecente. Now you've got ME worried. Read more

Is it 21 because we can't drink with you guys otherwise? Read more

21 or older? Oh well, maybe another year... Read more

If there's one thing I can't wait for at E3, it's this. Mass Effect is still on the top of my favorite 360 games list, and the improvements they're making simply look incredible. Couple that with the fact that the choices from the first game still matter? Excuse me, I think I'm going to have an awesome attack. Read more

You should make a device that attaches to the back of his diaper. Every time he crawls, drools, or makes his I-Am-Pooping face, it can send a signal straight to Twitter. Read more

@endaround: Well, I suppose he could break the embargoes, throw his journalistic integrity he has out the window, never be invited to these types of shows and conferences ever again, and thus make the whole site suffer as it is bathed in controversy. Read more

Congratulations! Mazel Tov! Woo hoo! Read more

Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice (in other words, all of the other DS Ace Attorney games) were pure quality. While this one looks like it will play quite differently, I'll be holding it to the same standards of clever writing, addictive gameplay, and challenging puzzles. Read more

@hot_heart: I was wondering about Assassin's Creed as soon as I read the title. What do we do with historical fiction? Some characters are real or are based on real people, but what is done is not necessarily real, nor are the conditions under which it's done. Read more

It's scares me that the Game Boy is dead. I mean, it was THE portable. Yeah, we had Game and Watch and Game Gear and all, but the Game Boy line was the Cadillac of portable gaming. I agree with McWhertor, the Game Boy Advance (personally, I think the Game Boy Advance SP) was the best of them, offering so many great… Read more

Ah, I've seen these before. There's one in the local mall back home, though it's primarily an advertisement with a small game on top of it. Read more

Mazel Tov, Owen! Break out the Manischewitz, and let's do the Hora and get something to nosh on! You're one heck of a mensch, and we enjoy reading your facocta stories on the weekends, even if your'e kind of meshuggina. We'd get you some sort of chotchka to play with as a gift, but we don't know exactly where you are… Read more

That's incredible. I mean, they're going out of their way to get covered, and they deserve it for this. Read more
