Deal of the Week: Orange Box, Assassin's Creed $40 at BB
Personally, I'm finally picking up The Orange Box. I know it's already a value at $60, so for twenty bucks less, that's a steal!
I wonder if that lag issue on Team Fortress 2 is still there?

The Benefits of a Having A Red-Ringed 360
1. Instead of just repairing my launch system, Microsoft sent me a brand new system which included the quieter DVD drive! I can't tell you how much nicer it is to not have to hear my 360 start up like a jet engin… Continue

When in Vegas, Play Some...Pinball? And Crazy Climber Lives!!
I took a trip to Vegas with my buddy last week to take in a couple of shows I've been wanting to see and while we were out there we visited a place that was about 10 blocks east of the Tropicana hotel called the Pinball Hall of Fame. I highly recommend stopping by there the next time you are out in Vegas. It's a retro games paradise in a way that LIVE Arcade will NEVER be able to match.

Smarmy Billy Mitchell Makes (Pointless) Appreance on Recent Today Show Segment
Mitchell is such an opportunist. How much did they pay him to be on this show? Lil' Poison also shows little depth. I'd be interested in seeing his report card. It's really painful watching reporters, who know little about games, talk about them. Reminds me of my mother when she tries to sound cool.

More ROCK BAND Songs Revealed! New Screenshots, Preview
In a hands-on preview of ROCK BAND on IGN's site, 4 more songs were revealed as well as an in depth preview of the game and new screen shots. It's coming along nicely and I can really say that my beloved Guitar Hero franchise is starting to pale in comparison. [Not that I'll ever abandon it or anything.]

COMPLETE & FINAL GH:Rocks the 80s Setist Released! Yay, Electric Eye!
The final setlist for Guitar Hero Encore:Rocks the 80s leaked out on Friday. It looks great altogether, however I was slightly disappointed that the final songs announced weren't better (except for Electric Eye which I love). I was secretly hoping for Prince's Let's Go Crazy or Van Halen's Panama. Oh, well. Rocks the 80's ships for the PS2 only on July 24th. No word yet about it being available as DLC for the 360...
The final setlist was revealed by

I DID IT!! The Joy of Beating Guitar Hero II on EXPERT!
Well, another long journey completed. Many of you know that with as much Guitar Hero mojo I have, I had not yet beaten the game on Expert difficulty. I've been stuck on Hangar 18 since the PS2 version of the game came out last year. Hangar 18 is the next to last song of the career and it has dogged me just as Cowboys From Hell had dogged me from the first GH game. As long as it had taken me to finally beat Cowboys From Hell (I finally got through it a w

UkuleleSHIMA's Game Recommendations For The New 360 Owner
Over the past several months I’ve noticed I’ve had more and more of my friends asking me what are some good games to buy for their Xbox 360 that they just purchased (or will be soon.) Strangers at Best Buy and Circuit City have asked me this question frequently while I’m browsing in the game section, as well. People are excited about their new system, especially if they are picking up an E

My Solution for Fair Guitar Hero DLC Pricing
Guitar Hero fandom was 'rocked' today with the announcement of the pricing for the 360 Guitar Hero II downloadable content. Those expecting a reasonable cost for "old" songs from the original PS2 Guitar Hero were floored to find they had to pay over $6 for only three of these songs. If the pricing model continues in this manner, GH players would have to pay nearly $100 to play all the GHI songs on their 360. I can only imagine the behind-the-scenes discussion between Microsoft,

360 Guitar Hero II: Quick First Impressions
Well I was at Circuit City when it opened to pick up GHII and get the free 1600 MS point card with it. I've been playing it throughout the day in career mode on hard difficulty. First off, I love the leaderboards. I figured they would rank your score per song both globally and against your friends, but what I didn't know is that they also keep a running "caree

PLAYED IT! PS2 SG Guitar vs. 360 X-plorer: My First Impressions, and which do you prefer?
I demoed the new X-plorer and GHII for the 360 at Best Buy yesterday. Let me first say I've been playing GH intensely since it was first released back in 2005 and I consider myself an average expert-level player so I definately would notice differences between the two guitars as far as how they effected my gameplay. Also, this guitar was not new out-of-the-box by any means. The ugly stickers on it looked worn and there was no strap. (I played it sitting down) So the wear it's e

I DID IT!!! or How I Learned to Hate Those Cowboys From Hell
Many may know if you've listen to AGI that I'm a big Guitar Hero fan. But with as much recognition I've gotten on my plastic ax skills, I've always had a black spot on my record. A not-so-hidden shame that has kept me humbled. Until last night...

WHY SHOULD I?: Determining When To Finally Buy A PS3 and a Wii
Since there is no such thing a “One Console to Rule Them All,” I'll admit that deep down I’d like to own all three consoles, but I am NOT an impulse buyer. There has to be compelling reasons for me to drop hundreds of dollars to buy a console when my free time to play on my Xbox 360 is already limited. So I’ve come up with a not-so-scientific way to determine when I will drive down
