She gave us a walkthrough of the the game and some tidbits. Here’s what I learned from our 1/2 hour discussion: The game’s plot […]

Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package Has Landed and Blew Up XBox Live
Activision released their Modern Warfare 2: Stimulus Package today. So hurray, no more “Mapathy.” On the downside they are charging a ridiculous $15 for 5 Maps – two of which we’ve already played to death in Modern Warfare 1. But I do love me some Crash. Not only that but people are reporting that this […]
Chuck, Prince of Persia, Happy Town, Resident Evil, it’s Wondercon 2010 and Michelle will be there!
I’m leaving the warm 80 degree days in Washington, DC to freeze in San Francisco to bring you coverage of this weekend’s WonderCon! And yes, you heard right, it’s just my luck that it’s finally, finally going to be in the 70s in DC starting Thursday and I’m going to San Francisco where it’s going […]
Netflix Instant Streaming Now on the Wii
Netflix’s Instant Streaming Discs are arriving in people’s mailboxes this week. I know a lot of folks think that streaming Netflix on the Wii is pointless because it’s not an HD platform, but really I can’t remember the last time I received an HD Stream from Netflix and I have a Fios Fiber Optic connection. […]

Looks like Sony is moving quickly to make their newly acquired Jimmy Hendrix music catalog start paying off. They have inked a deal to bring Hendrix, who was previously on Guitar Hero over to Rock Band in form of the Album – Axis: Bold As Love. It will be added next week to the Rock […]
Planet MiniGolf coming to PSN this Spring
It’s pretty amazing that out of all the casual games available for the PSN and XBLA there’s only one MiniGolf game (on XBLA) and that game is over two years old. I regularly check and am always disappointed not to find a decent MiniGolf game. The folks at Zen Studio the folks behind Zen Pin […]

Last week I told you The Who recorded a special version of their Superbowl Mashup for Rock Band. The track is now available on XBLA for 160 MS Points, this translates to about $1.99. – have I said lately how much I really hate trying to figure out MS stupid point system? Clocking in at […]

The folks at Harmonix, the makers of Rock Band is going to put The Who‘s upcoming Superbowl Mashup on XBLA for 160 points ($1.99). The band recorded a special version of their upcoming half time show just for us Plastic Instrument players. Frankly it’s a pretty terrible release. It didn’t say if it’s coming to […]
The Playstation 3 Exclusive MAG is a Mixed Bag says Michelle
It’s pretty amazing, Sony’s new multiplayer game MAG has been talked about for years, for some reason I feel like I saw a clip of this game as part of the PS3 “sizzle” reel 3 or 4 years ago. The game was supposed to be a showcase of how awesome the Sony PSN Network is […]
Michelle has a Gut Reaction for Darksiders!
Who says January through March is a slow month in the gaming industry. After taking the month of December off, the industry has returned with a vengeance in January, we have 5 big games this month Bayonetta (which I hated – 15 minutes of cut and loading screens for 5 minutes of gameplay), Dark Void […]
