    Analyst Predicts Difficult Years Ahead for Xbox 360

    Except the problem with the Wii is it doesn't really work that well and still requires you to hold (usually) two controllers. I'm calling it now, Dance Central will be a Kinect's Halo, if it works as advertised.

    Ex-Microsoft Studio Manager Predicts Failure for Natal - UPDATED

    It'll need a price drop and killer game. Just like everything else. Until then...novelty item.

    "Xbox Factor" Transforming the Movie Industry

    I suppose it would be too much to ask for Hollywood to develop good scripts that appeal to tweens and teens? Just as with the boys, they'll churn out crap as long as it makes a buck.

    MTV Want Its $150 Million Back from Harmonix

    You know MTV is owned by viacom, right? I'm sure it's on their wikipedia page.

    Guitar Hero Exec Bails After Mediocre Sales

    Beatles: Rockband did not perform poorly. I believe it's well north of 2 million copies now. It has so far performed better than RockBand 2, actually and certainly outsold every *Hero game that came out last year. Lego Rockband on the hand, tanked.

    Law Firm Considers Class Action Suit Over Xbox Live Bans

    This is why I hate lawyers. Junk lawsuits filling up the courts. This is worse than the guy suing Sony, M$, and Nintendo earlier today. At least he wasn't trying to make it a class action suit. Cheaters got caught...and the bans started before MW2...

    Fitness Games Don't Have Enough Shame

    Look, I don't think the Wii Fit is anymore effective than standing up during Rock Band and dancing around. Seriously. It's a game board. How much could you possibly do on it?

    No Doubt Sues Activision Over Band Hero

    No Doubt Sues Activision Over Band Hero

    Wow a lot of No Doubt hate and no real discussion about how this is starting to be a trend for Activision. I still blame the artists. Crawl in bed with the devil, you're going to get burned. Perhaps they should look at Rock Band and how they handle artists and their music before look at the...

    This is not going to sell well at all. Way too expensive.

    It's Too Loud (Because I'm Too Old)

    I had the same reaction to Dragon Age you did. And nothing I've seen so far has changed my mind. I think, for me, it's the excessive blood letting they seem so focused on. It's actually almost comical the amount of blood in the trailers. But I know that will get really old, really fast. So my...
