It’s been about 4 months since the Wii Fit launch. It received average to above average reviews from most of the gaming insiders around the world, and some semi-nice reviews from the fitness world. This video give it an “fun” review, and although the tester rarely entered the “fat-burning” zone, she said it was better than nothing. So what about people who don’t already work out, and like the benefit of the at-home, and interactive work out… did it work? Well, here’s a great success story from “Naoko Suki”, a gaming forum buddy of mine!

This is going to be a quick post. I’d like to introduce you all to the latest model version of the 3D British Bombshell we all know and love dearly. 23 year old Alison Carroll of Croydon, England apparently has the moves to back up the beauty to be the new face and spokeswoman for the Tomb Raider franchise that just seems to never end. I’ll be totally honest…I’m not that impressed. This has gotta be what…Version 8.0, am I right? Continue for more pictures and my biased opinions… (more…)

If you’re like me, you probably use pretty much anything and everything as a distraction to keep from doing important things like working, eating, and working. This can range from looking up a single piece of trivia on IMDB (and eventually awakening several hours later in an alleyway in Mexico with no recollection of how you got there but the sudden confidence that you can beat all your friends at Scene-It), to making Becky and Meagan repeatedly fight each other to the death in Soulcalibur IV. Well now you can add yet another distraction to the reasons why neither of us is a successful millionaire: The Music of Video Games.
