Super Tuesday!

First off, before we get to a few game related happenings. Congratulations to the 2008 NCAA National Champion Kansas Jayhawks on their come from behind victory last night to defeat the Memphis Tigers in OT. Mario Chalmers drained a 3 pointer with 2 seconds left to tie up the game before KU pulled away in overtime.

Now on to the games!

A shit load of fun to be had with the individual releases of Half Life 2, Portal and TF2 for the PC. As well as the beefed up PC release of Assassin's Creed with more content. Of course the PS2 still continues to push content out, gotta love Sony for that. Or do we?

We also get a first look at Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, courtesy of Gamespot.





Joystiq is reporting a possibility of the 2008 version of "Red Rings of Death."

Unlike the distinctive three red lights of the RRoD, the "E74" error is characterized by a blinking red light in the lower-right corner of the ring and graphical problems on the television. The problem has been known for a while but is currently not covered by Microsoft's extended three-year Xbox 360 warranty, which only applies to traditional Red Ring problems -- E74 sufferers have to shell out the money to ship their system in for repairs.

Joystiq also has some new information on the MP aspect of GTAIV. A few things included are:

• Previously rumored 16-player online play is confirmed.
• The online maps aren't changed in any way from single-player -- you can still drive vehicles from one end of the city to the other, if you want.
• The volume of other characters voices will vary depending on their distance from you. "So if you hear an enemy's voice, he's probably right behind you and it's too late."

And finally, in what we can only coin as How the fuck is this game news? Another sad story from Kotaku

After dropping into a coma from severe brain injury, a 2-year-old-girl from York, Pennsylvania was declared dead last night. Her mother's boyfriend who confessed to the beating is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, endangering the welfare of a child and reckless endangerment. The mother has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

In summary of that story, douchebags are douchebags no matter what methods are used in their quest for ultimate douchebaggery.

That's it for this Tuesday. If you don't have the new DLC Map Pack for COD4 already, spend those 800 points and come and kill me. theSneekapeek is my gamertag on XBL, hit me up bitches! We are planning to do a show on Sunday, but I may be raiding Karazhan with my priest. If this happens, hopefully we will have an alternative way to get a show out.
