Still haven’t picked up Call of Duty 4? How about getting it for twenty bucks less? Cheap Ass Gamer has a link to CircuitCity, where the game is currently on sale for forty dollars. Don’t have a Circuit City nearby? Take a copy of the ad (online counts) over to Best Buy or a store that does price match and you got a game that’s easily a top contender for game of the year at a discount. The sale ends this week!

I am currently rockin’ out to Rock Band as an early Christmas gift from my wife, Tila. I love you girl! Remember when Guitar Hero came out and how it just shook up the music genre. I know I do. Let’s relive those days with this retrospective from Gamasutra, which is an book excerpt from Iain Simon’s book. It rocks! Sorry, bad pun.

Now this really is a TOUGH console to program for! WTF!!!

Wii will win the console war?

Still looking for a Wii? I was in Best Buy today and I saw a couple of people get turned away. It’s funny, I have mine and I haven’t bought a game since Zelda! People, if you have one, please don’t punk people by jacking up the price. Let someone buy it for the regular price, because apparently, Nintendo can’t make enough Wiis.

Sorry about the lack of Wiis, suckers!
