All I can say is that I'm glad the original design is in my room, because that as some would say, is "Uuuuugly." It is however, great that they aren't charging people $100 for a Wi-Fi adapter and that it's cheaper.

Max Payne 3. Yes, I'm calling it early but Remedy isn't making it and Rockstar (though I love 'em) have turned the sleek trenchcoat wearing detective from a comic laden noir story into a pot bellied bald Brazilian shooter? Already pretending like this doesn't exist. Maybe they should slap the Splinter Cell name on it…

@Win Laik Pya: As he should, Richard Kelly completely disowns that movie and says he had nothing to do with it. He even went on to say something like "there will never another DD movie." Because of that reason I'm pretending the above film doesn't exist.

Abbey is safe! This was just posted on her blog:

Replace Jamie Foxx and see if Michael Mann would do it, this story is right up his alley. Then again, he's also a huge fan of Foxx.

@Helba: Hubris is Humorous.: My dad really enjoyed the movie and he grew up watching the original series as a kid, has seen almost every NG episode and all the movies. My Aunt who's such a die hard she's gone to conventions and collected all the books is a big fan of the movie too. I think it's the general thing to…

@Bologna: At one point there was an (ugly imo) limited edition Halo 3 system that included the game, but it hasn't been bundled with other units since that. Some stores have thrown it in there for holiday sales.

I own all six and my preference for "best of the pack" would go to Uncharted 2. Too bad it doesn't have the same astronomical sales and marketing to go with it, but sales never equal quality. Almost everyone I know who has a 360 owns a copy of Halo 3, it's so popular you'd be led to believe it was a pack-in with the…

Great looking tracklist so far. I'm very excited to play one of my favorite indie bands Rilo Kiley among other awesome tunes.

Unbelievable. Not only do Chicago Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup after 49 years, but Patrick Kane scored the overtime winner. Is it fate or what that he was on the cover of NHL 10? Someone at EA must be psychic!

I game a lot, watch movies all the time and read blogs like Kotaku during most of my free time. Even though I'm underweight for people my age (5'10, 145 llbs) I'm definitely out of shape. People usually point towards and make fun of heavier people's fitness, but skinny people can have a hard time running a km as well.

The examples for K&L and Mafia make the new design hideous. There needs to be a little bar below it to separate the huge eyesore that is the green wave from the rest of the box art. That brightness is really taking away from the design of the Mafia cover art, whereas the PS3's black compliments it. Personally I feel…

I agree with all of the negatives Mike brought up, this may be the shortest current gen game released. I rented it and completed it on normal, getting most upgrades and unlocking all suits of armour in 3 hours and a half.

I just bought Splinter Cell on Xbox for $1.99 (plus Edge discount) at an EB Games a few weeks ago. Two years prior I nabbed Max Payne at the same price.

Justin Beiber is nothing but a 16 year old kid who will be adored by preteen girls until he hits puberty and is discarded for someone else like Aaron Carter and Billy Gillman were. He got his start singing songs on Youtube and was then signed by Usher, so uh, it's his fault that we're hit with Beiber everywhere. I…

Uh, not that I've ever done this or anything, but my "friend" says using the internet browser on the PS3 to visit sites that you can access on the computer works for all of your viewing pleasure. He said it streams perfectly and it's all free. He also says the HD can store all the videos you've downloaded in folders…

Don't you mean, Why is a Frost/Nixon star, (the movie that was nominated for best picture a year ago) in Tron? Every actor takes some movies for a paycheck and Mr. Sheen is talented in both stage and film. His portrayal of Frost was spot on.

I had big hopes for this title and it's artistic direction since it's the follow-up to the classic Max Payne 2. It delivered. I actually sat there and played the entire game in one sitting, Alan Wake had me hooked.

With it's $200 million budget, it hasn't done well domestically (it got beaten by Shrek in its second week) but combined with its foreign grosses the movie is poised to make some profit. Judging by these numbers a sequel doesn't look likely. I guess the studio couldn't capitalize on the PoTC vibe they were going for.
