Alright, I have to make a small confession.  When the new generation of consoles came out, I just knew that the PS3 was going to the baddest thing since Shaft.  Well as most of you already know they didn't quite live up to the hype.  I've owned two of them and had to return them due to running way too loud and hot.  But that's another story.  My point is that now Sony is hurting so bad that according to talkingaboutgames.net  they are going to be giving a $150 discount to folks who qualify for their Playstation Visa card.  First of all, who wants t

Is it just me or is the wii becoming a paperweight/decoration on your entertainment center. Ever since I purchased my Wii a few months ago I just haven't played it much. Where are the great games Nintendo? Just how many baseball and golf games can you make? Zelda was awesome along with Metroid and Galaxy Mario, but is that really it?

I've played quiet a bit of Bioshock and I must say that it is a really great game and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I've heard that Dead Space kind of plays like it and have considered venturing into that world.  Have you played them both?  If so, what are your impressions?

I know I may get some slack for this, but seriously...what happened Gears!  I loved GOW, the story/campaign, and the multiplayer.  If there was ever a video game that I got more than my $60 worth out of it was this one.  GOW2...what can I say.  I love the campaign even more.  I can not congratulate EPIC  enough.  Multiplayer, is a whole different story.  Either fix it or give me back a host.  I hate playing on a server.  All I keep hearing is accolaids about how it is so great since it is like Halo 3 now.  I can stand it.  It takes FOREVER to get a match started.  I know, there are guidelin

You're a gamer, you know it, I know it, chances are everyone knows it. When did you finally accept your calling to true geekness? I realized it when I found myself staying up until 5am playing Diablo 2 when I was going thru one of my "A" schools. There I was mindlessly tapping my mouse for hours and hours, and for what? Just one more Bale run! Tell us about your self realization.
