[i]Sometimes less is more.[/i] What a great saying. At first, I was unsure what to rate this game, and I was asking fellow reviewers on the forums what they thought they would give the game. I just couldn’t agree with Vyolynce on the forums when he told me that even if a game is short, it can still be better than a 30-hour epic with many boring side missions. How right he was …
If you didn’t know, [i]Gun[/i] is often described as [i]GTA[/i] in the Wild West. The reason to this is, the game works a lot like the [i]GTA[/i] games. You have your main story, but meanwhile, there are a bunch of side missions you can doA
Nope! Now it’s about getting your groove on! If you’re in West Virginia, there’s a good chance that in the future you will be able to play Dance Dance Revolution in your physical education class.
The estimated cost of this endeavor is $550,000 to put one console, game, and dancepad in each school in the state. If you ask me, that’s a small price to pay to help get kids excited about exercising.
I am very excited to see this hopefully spread to other states.

Well, that’s what Star Locke of Texas thinks should be done, and if he’s elected for governor, he will do what he can to make that happen.
[quote]Locke said he favors instituting… a 50-percent tax on violent video games.[/quote]
Personally, I think that is a bit ridiculous. That would make any $50 game $75 if it was considered violent (many T rated games could be considered as such), and since many games will be retailing at $60 now, you’re looking at $90 per game. I could maybe understand an extra $5 per game or something as a way to bring in more money, but 50% is just absurd.
I know many of the readers of Snackbar are from Texas, so with that being said, how do you guys feel about the small possibility of this kind of tax?

It’s the first day of Winter-een-mas, and all through the house
You can’t hear the ninjas, they are silent like a mouse
The games have been piling up, since the holiday season
And you’re not sure why. There’s no good reason.
There’s never enough time in any given day
to really play all the games that we want to play.
Life is so busy, and we don’t know why
But it makes us gamers want to sit down and cry.
But fear not! Winter-een-mas is here at last!
So rush to the TV and start it up fast!
Now is the time for each of us to have fun.
And forget about work. For the next week, you’re done.
Happy Winter-een-mas everyone!
If that made no sense to you then be sure to check out the official Winter-een-mas [url=http://www.wintereenmas.com/]homepage[/url] for details on this unique “holiday”.
So, it looks like E3 will actually be enforcing its own rules. For some time there were decency rules which were pretty much related to how the booth babes dressed. Now, I love half naked (and fully naked) women as much as the next guy, but E3 is supposed to be about games. If I wanted to go to a convention with a bunch of women… well, I’d find one to go to.
The interesting part is that the decency rules at E3 have always been in effect, but never really enforced like they should be. Well, now if a woman (or anyone for that matter) is dressed in an indecent manner, they will get a warning to cover up or be fined $5,000.
They make mention of less provocative clothing and no bathing suit bottoms, which I guess means thongs and whatnot. I’m guessing bathing suit tops are ok.
I’d like to thank [url=http://www.gamespot.com/news/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=24247233]Gamespot[/url] for this piece of news. Like I said, I love half naked women. I really really do. Even so, I don’t want them there. The event is about gaming. If there are half naked women in the games, then so be it, but otherwise, they don’t belong.
