I'm always pleasantly surprised and pleased as punch when I hear celebrities share their passion for gaming. It's as if it helps validate my addiction. "See, even Robin Williams has a level 80 Night Elf!"

I never knew that Robin Williams was such a hardcore gamer. He shoots the breeze, as only he knows how, about 10 year olds cursing him out in online matches for COD. He also mentions how he named his daughter after one of the best games in history. Funny, I never made the connection til now.

It's too bad his movies these days aren't as funny as he is when he's just rambling. I'm still waiting for my Mork and Mindy reunion.

The folks at Activision must be clocking on quad-overtime, as they are putting out all their big titles in a one month span. All of these titles are making us more excited than a teenage girl caught up in the Twilight hype, so we wanted to expand our coverage for a full week!

We're starting off today with a blog about the midnight launch of Modern Warfare 2. We'll then follow up later this week with a DJ Hero expose, and gauge some feedback from real DJs. We're then heading to a Tony Hawk promo event this upcoming weekend, where we'll get to play the new wheeless skateboard and see how it holds up. We then wrap up with a playthrough of Band Hero, and help shed light on what makes it so different from the other music games out there.[nextpage]

So stay tuned to this blog as we update

I feel giddy like a kid in a candy store. There's so many good games coming out in November, that I pretty much got to call in sick every day just to get through them all. Thank god for swine flu, cause that excuse should work for at least a good 30 days.

Time to pick your favorites! You can select more than one too!
