    So…uh…what happened?

    As my friends and family will tell you, I was HUGELY excited for Gearbox’s Brothers In Arms: Hell’s Highway.  I consistently wore them out with a particularly cool video, which showcased some incredible physics and camerawork (it is the first of a series of three below). ...

    Whew, thanks Anon 56.  You know how to cut to the core of me… In reading the disgustingly disappointing news yesterday regarding the Spring Dashboard Update (or lack therein), I decided to surf through some of the staggering 464 comments left on Major Nelson’s site...

    Oops…

    What’s this?  An announcement about Assault Heroes 2?  I just turned on my Xbox 360, and the ad on my Media blade says (quite clearly) “Assault Heroes 2″ with a corner slice of text stating “Out next Wednesday”.  I guess that solves that one, eh?...

    2.5 + 3.0 = (first) Half of 2008?

    OK, so I promise this will be the last thing I post about the Spring Dashboard Update for 2008…today. I would like to call attention to two different Entertainment Division-flavored updates:
