If this holds to be true, it could single handedly justify the purchase of my 360.

There’s a reason I haven’t been doing as much around here outside of my work day. I’ve been stuck at home addicted to Fable. I’m only about 12 hours into it so far, but I’m having a blast. I just want to keep playing and playing. I can’t stop!

I need help…

I must say that I am not a fan of the PS2, but yesterday I played the most addictive game ever. Guitar Hero is the coolest game I have ever played. I would suggest that everyone go out an buy it. Invite some friends over, turn up the volume to full blast, and go nuts. This game is so much fun. I also just read on IGN’s front page, that they are in the process of making Guitar Hero II. I’m all over it!

In other news, I hope everyone had a great Easter. I spent most of my day playing video games. Guitar Hero being one of them. Mike and I will have the podcast up Wednesday. We thank everyone for their feedback on the topic of downloading content. It truly helped! Thanks everyone, staye tuned!

About freaking time. I really have nothing to add to this except thank the lord we don\’t have to put up with Starforce\’s garbage on future Ubisoft releases.

Just an FYI to all our Aussie readers about a World Record setting Water Balloon challenge that Microsoft is setting up to celebrate the launch of the 360 Down Under. The event does cost $20, but you get a “Challenge Pack” that includes a game and some other cool 360 schwag.
