There’s the old saying, “you get out of it what you put into it”. What about “the greater the risk, the greater the reward”? I think these sayings go for video games as well. While there’s something to be said for using video games as a way to unwind or relax, there is also a [...]

Boy, that didn’t take long.  After enjoying an incredible 2 weeks atop the Xbox Live “Most played” list, Gears 2 has been knocked the f*** out by Bungie’s Halo Jesus.  I can’t believe it.  I am stunned.  I just called my mom in Tennessee and she couldn’t believe it either.
