One of my favorite things in a bar is the small video game consoles.  There's even a Touch Master game coming to the Nintendo DS.  But this little diddy is about Mega Touch 2007.  One game in particular drove me batty, Texas Hold 'Em.  First off, it's an expensive game with a timer.  It doesn't matter how much you win or lose, your game ends after about 3 minutes.  So I fold about 4 hands and then get an opener of J-3.  Thinking the Jack is a worthy starter card, I call to the next round.  The first 3 cards are J-3-3.  Sweet!  I have a full house in only five cards.  I raise once and call.

A lot of people are "sick of" games released with errors.  Guess what?  All games have errors.  Most are not obvious.  If you remember the Atari and PC days, they'd test these puppies until they were sick of even the best games.  Then they'd publish and ship.  What happened when an update was put out?  Nothing.  The newer versions of the games would be published from that point on, but unless you contact customer service and exchange your copy via mail (usually for $10 + S&H), you never new the AI was flawed or that the penalty for letting the timer expire on level 6 is NOTHING?  You kn

Forza Motorsport 2 is nearing release on Xbox360, I think.  I tried the demo, and it is very nice.  Race fans, try it out.  Something that is both good and bad is that it plays exactly like the original Forza Motorsport.  The ability to turn off accelaration lines, brake lines, or both is very welcome.  I got tired of these guidelines real fast.  On the first game, I started with them, and then couldn't quit.  I strongly recommend turning them off if you've played Gran Tourismo or Forza one.  Then there was one little itty bitty problem.  Jaggies.  That's right, the Ridge Racer V lack of an
