Since my life has been busier than normal and I'm in front of a computer a lot more.. I've turned to quick web browser based games and found them to be a lot of fun.

I'm playing a soccer manager at www.hattrick.org and an awesome american football sim at **** and I've been playing a lot of poker at www.pokerrpg.com.

These games don't require a ton of time and they are rewarding if you are intelligent and patient over a long period of time.

I have never been as excited about a gameplay feature as I am about Madden 10 online Franchise Mode. Franchise mode for sports games is notoriously easy. If you really want to you can always end up with a full team of all stars. Now, every trade and draft pick will be coveted. It is going to be a brutal competition. I've been waiting for this feature my entire life.

Watch this video if you're not completely sold.

go to that link to save pamela anderson from the evil KFC colonal Killer bloody chicken dudes. The wierd thing is you won't believe how good the game is.

... came at a perfect time. They just unleashed a new hero class called "bard". You get to wield an electric guitar and play guitarhero style on your keyboard in order to vanquish enemies. The best part was that it had me concerned for about 10 whole seconds. Then I realized what day it was and felt foolish. It's pretty convincing though. I bet this is a big stinker in gaming news. Especially if they don't dispell it. They're going to get a lot of unwanted e-mails from this. I hope it's worth it.
