It's bottom of the eights and the Giants are blowing their lead. Can they hang on? Brewers fans have started the slow clap...ut oh.

Battlefield 1943 not only offers great graphics and playability for its price, it also offers an economical way of bringing family together (costs of console, and Internet aside). I live on the west coast while my dad and brother live in two separate states on the east coast. We were each able to throw down the small purchase fee for BF 1943 and now enjoy hooking up on the weekends to share in the laughs during those exciting and comical "battlefield moments".

If you have friends or family that hesitate to drop full price for new retail releases, I would highly recommend checking out BF 1943 on XBL Arcade. The first time you storm a beach with your buds you'll be happy you took the time to get everyone organized.

Hey friends! I created a google desktop gadget to monitor your gamertag. You can check out the screenshots below....Enjoy!

I decided to do the XBOX power halo for my pumpkin carving this year. I hung a green glow stick on the inside of the pumpkin to give it the nice lighting effect.

Here are some screenshots of my Halo 3 character. I like the Elites as you can tell. Mostly because everyone and their mom uses the lame ass Spartans.I've always been one to go against the grain, and being an Elite lets me feel like I'm not just another tool.
