GAME PREVIEW: James Bond and the Quantum of Solace
Have I said how much I despise the title of the new James Bond movie? With that said Activision’s new James Bond game is looking pretty tasty. The official game website is an example of why Flash sucks. It’s slow and busy as heck. Absolutely hate it, but it does have all the community bells […]
ROCKBAND NEWS: The Who Hits This Week and Jam at E3
I’ve always been more a fan of Guitar Hero than Rockband, even though I recently purchased about 40 tracks. I just find I prefer the balance on GH to RB. RB’s normal level is way too slow and easy, while the hard level is way too hard – I can’t hit that stupid orange note. […]

NEWS: Netflix comes to Xbox Live
I have not tried Netflix’s new video streaming service because I don’t have the new $99 Netflix box and I’m not a fan of watching video on my laptop – even though I do have a 24 inch monitor to connect it too. My problems are solved, this fall you’ll be able to stream Netflix […]
