A Less Awesome But Still Fun Guitar Hero

Cool?

Yeah, you can play Guitar Hero via widget now. But don't mind me. I'll be over here playing Free Tetris.

Will The Sims Ever Learn How to Cook?

You'd think by now it'd be a science to these guys. Put the food in, start the timer, let the timer go off, and promptly remove the food from the oven. No lollygagging. Don't fall asleep while you're cooking, don't watch TV, don't dance, and no hanky panky with your neighbor. Just wait by the oven, maybe do the dishes, and get the food out of the oven. End of story.

But they won't learn. Otherwise, the lives of The Sims would be as boring as ever. You need fires and spicy romances to keep things interesting.

EA announced today that 100 million copies of The Sims have sold worldwide. Or, in Sim speak, "Huh buh, huh buh ruh buh buh huuuh (word balloon above my head with The Sims box)."

Does that plus sign above your head mean that you're excited about this news are that you're happy to see me? Wait, you want to talk about soccer? That's a total minus sign. No! I don't want to dance!

Music for Video Games

If you aren't familiar with Audiosurf, the PC sensation, inform yourself. It's a game that combines your love of music and your love of games. It's probably easier just to watch the video.

I love that song all too much.

Anyhow, Asthmatic Kitty Records compiled some music by artists (the only one you may have heard of is Sufjan Stevens) to utilize the game. Music for Video Games v.1 is the latest in video game music, although I still have mad props for Mega Man.

SEGA's Take on Iron Man

Say it with me, everybody.

I AM IRON MAN.

Anybody else giddy?

You Apparently Don't Know Jack

So who likes trivia games? How about funny, irreverent ones that you used to have to buy at the store for your PC? Did you know that you can play You Don't Know Jack from the comfort of your home for free? I didn't.

This game is great. I would urge anyone who enjoys the online game to buy some old copies of the PC game. It's a great time killer and a lot of fun to boot.

There's a new game every day. I urge you to enjoy. But remember everybody - there is indeed strong language and suggestive themes. And as the warning says, the kids won't get it anyway.
