There have been five bazillion news stories about this presidential campaign, but none of them have really given you the fair and balanced views of the candidates. Enter us with our presidential video game primer. Make sure to hit the link to check out the rest of the article.
THE ENVIRONMENT
 John McCain: NASCAR 09
While the Great Right Hope has touted a plan to cut greenhouse emissions 60 percent by 2050, his zero rating for 2007
by the League of Conservation Voters on environmental issues should
serve as a caution flag for any tree hugger. Couple that with delegate
chants of "Drill, baby, drill" at the Republican National Convention
and you've got a record as green as the tarmac at Talladega. Punch it! |
 Barack Obama: Flower
If you're down with flowers and nature and shit, you're probably leaning Democrat this year. With an 82 percent voting record on pro-environmental issues the last two years, Obama may be best represented by Flower,
a game in which you play as... wait for it... THE WIND! Push spores
around, make windmills turn, create ocean waves—really, where does the
fun end? (Or begin.) |

No matter what Sony wants to call 2008, it will probably be called "the year the PSN caught up to Xbox Live." Further adding to the storyline is the unveiling of the new portable ID card, allowing PS2, PS3, and PlayStation.com users to link their accounts into one global username. (XBox 360 users call them gamertags, but let's not get too hung up with semantics here.) Anyway, behold:
The empty space underneath the username is where your profile information goes (up to 21 characters). Mine, obviously, is blank. Here's to hoping for PS3 Trophies to make an appearance somewhere on the ID in the future and/or the ability to customize the appearance.
If you haven't linked up your profiles yet, get going already: http://www.us.playstation.com/MyAccount |

The PlayStation 3 came into this world as a sort of laughingstock, afflicted with both the then unpopular Blu-ray infrastructure and the then unneeded high-definition capablities. Two years later, Blu-ray has won the media war with HD-DVD and more and more consumers are snatching up HDTVs. Sony spent much of their E3 presentation giving a sort of polite, "I told you so" and boasting how it's system is futureproof. With games like Resistance 2 and LittleBigPlanet, a new video download service, and a growing install base, it's hard to argue against them. With that said, the highlights:
DO WANT
GOD OF WAR III ANNOUNCEMENT We all knew it was coming, with rumors and speculation flying all over the Internet for the past 4 months. Sony confirmed the arrival of Kratos on the PlayStation 3 with a teaser trailer that didn't really show much. Nevertheless, expect the godkiller to arrive sometime between next summer and Christmas. |
