The name's Bond, James Bond

This is super cool if it turns out to be true. I played a ton of this in college, but we always hated the split screens for multiplayer...

Guitar Hero pwned my wife

As I type this, my wife is "watching" the credits roll for GH3. Which means she's rockin' out to some crazy song. Anyway, we got it yesterday and she's obsessed. I like it too, but she's much better than me.
Had a heck of a time finding it, actually. Went to 4 stores to find a copy with a guitar for the 360. We got the wired guitar with it, which kinda sucks, but I didn't feel like doing any more searching. Rock Band was easy to find. I guess I wasn't the only one scared by the price tag.

How to play Assasin's Creed without hurting yourself or going crazy

First off, this game is great. Altair's movements and the camera work are top notch. Also the story is really pretty good. The game gets knocks for being very repetitive though.

  • Attach a rubber band to the controller so that it holds down the RT. This allows you to run all the time and not cramp up your hand. Mine was so severe that I had to take a break from the game for several days
  • Whenever you talk to someone in the Assasin's Bureau is a good time for a bathroom break since they're usually idiots and don't really tell you anything useful (Also, why does every town have an Assasin's Bureau? Wouldn't that be a good sign that your town is unsafe?)
  • Don't bother completing more than 3 tasks at each location or collecting flags
  • Don't miss the chance to fast travel to cities that you've already been to like I did by repeatedly hitting A to make the horse gallop when you get to that certain archway

New Mass Effect trailer

Here's how I'll be spending my holidays...

I haven't been this excited for an RPG in a long time.
