So, I had some friends come up a couple weeks ago for a bachelor party and one of the things we did was go to a Hawks game. After showing up like halfway through the second quarter due to poor planning, we kinda started to enjoy ourselves. That is, until the ridiculously obnoxious pack of [...]

All day long the heavens have been dumping this horrible rain/snow/slush mix all over The A. It’s almost like it can’t decide what it wants to be, or exactly how much it wants to inconvenience me. I mean, snow I can handle, and we’ve had a bit this year. Sure, I won’t be getting off [...]

Remember how I was bitching about needing a vacuum but being in the conundrum of thinking that only a Dyson was worth buying, even though they are super expensive? Well, Mrs. Mike and I finally had enough and purchased the miracle vacuum yesterday. (Side-note: This is where I’m at in life. Excited about buying a [...]

You guys remember “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose”, the show that was basically a weekly, half hour version of Ferris Bueller? I remember I used to love that show, especially Kube. Dude was like a gentle giant. That was back when TV used to be good, especially TV that was geared towards the teen/tween market. (Side-note: [...]

I want you all to know that I think highly enough of my readers to comfortably assume that your memory is strong enough that you can go back a few hours time where I gave you the release dates for “Super Mario Galaxy 2″ & “Metroid: The Other M”. I mean, you guys can probably [...]

I wish I could tell you that I was attending Nintendo’s Media Summit, but I’m not. I know, I still don’t get no respect. It works out though; the way I see it, I can let the other “big” sites do all the work, while I ride on their coattails and regurgitate what they report. [...]

I don’t know if I’ve ever properly vented my loathing for cell-phones here, but I kinda hate them. Actually, I think it’s just phones in general; I really can’t stand talking on them. What do I have to say, or does someone have to say, that can’t be said in an email? I rarely answer [...]

So, the big news today is that Tiger Woods finally broke his silence and issued a public apology. Honestly, I find it a bit unnecessary and, now that I’ve seen the apology looped on ESPN for the past four hours, a bit annoying. Dude plays golf, Mrs. Mike doesn’t even consider that a real sport. [...]

In case you didn’t catch the end of my last post, yesterday was Mrs. Mike’s birthday, and what a glorious day it was! My birthday fell on a Saturday, which was basically spent indoors, due to the cold rain that provided a blanket of miserable over Atlanta, and with me on the phone yelling at [...]

I’ve never really liked any of the “Prince of Persia” games, they just never really did it for me. Even last year when Ubisoft decided to go in a new direction and style for the series, I found it a bit meh. Sure, the game looked nice, and I guess that sort of exploration was [...]

The latest software top ten sales estimates in Japan from Famitsu have been released.

EA Sports will launch a new version of their popular fitness game this holiday for Wii, PlayStation 3, and iPhone and iPod touch platforms. The company is currently dubbing it EA Sports Active 2.0, though they point out that name is still just a working title for the game.

This new fitness game will feature an "innovative wireless control system" that includes new body motion sensors for your arms and legs, as well as a heart rate monitor. EA Sports Active 2.0 will also take advantage of a new online hub that will track and share your data.

Let's look at the complaints about Zelda that have been uttered since Ocarina of Time. Majora's Mask's 3 Day system makes the game unaccessible and the game is "too hard". Oracle of Seasons and Ages were not made by Nintendo, the boss fights are too difficult, and the combined ending was too convoluted to expect anyone to experience it. Four Swords and by extension The Minish Cap is too easy. Twilight Princess is too much like Ocarina of Time. Phantom Hourglass is too cartoony, stylus controls blow, and the game is again... too easy. Finally we get to Spirit Tracks: Game is too boring, cutscenes too long, and the train travel is stupid as it turns Zelda into an on rails shooter. All of this is said because Ocarina of Time told everyone that "this is what Zelda is suppose to be".

The Lost Gamer writes "In revealing when their next issue will release, US magazine Nintendo Power have teased that they are set to provide the world exclusive reveal of a new title for Wii."

CoffeewithGames.Blogspot.com shows No More Heroes 2's play-time data, number of players reporting data, sale rank, and review score average.

GFB writes: "Cing, the developer of popular titles like Little King's Story, Trace Memory, Monster Rancher, and Hotel Dusk, has sadly filed for bankruptcy due to what has been described as "insurmountable debts that the company will never be able to pay". Needless to say it's sad to start the week with this news."
