    5 More Reasons Your Girlfriend Doesn’t Play With You
    POSTED May 2, 6:30 PM

    Science marches on.
    The Girlfriend Gamer Love Lab (GiGLL) returns this week with startling new findings on why girlfiends don't play videogames with boyfriends:

     

    1.       You pout when she tells you it is her turn to play Peach In Super Smash Bros. Brawl .

    2.       You pout when she pounds the stuffing out of you in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

    3.       You pout when she frags you again in Halo 3.

    4.       You pout when she points out her GamerScore is higher than yours.

    5.       Remember that look she gave you when you introduced her to your co-workers as, “This is my girlfriend. I totally got her into games.” That look tells you everything you need to know.

    • Rumor: Rock Band 2 setlist reportedly discovered by two sourcesFiled under: Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox 360, RhythmWe've been chomping at the bit for any details about the complete setlist for Harmonix's upcoming sequel to last year's well-received rockstar simulator, Rock Band. We've learned of a few new tracks from a slip-up on G4 and a tip from an anonymous playtester, but even these substantial leaks only make up a drop in Rock Band 2's 80-song bucket. Luckily, two sources who claim to know the near-complete list of tunes included in the title recently posted their findings -- though their own sources don't exactly inspire confidence in the accuracy of their supposed setlists.Though their information evolved entirely from hearsay, there's quite a bit of overlap between the two lists, lending some amount of legitimacy to this rumor. Some of these overlapping tracks include Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer", The Presidents of the United States of America's "Lump", Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer" (Qu'est-ce que c'est?), and a long overdue "Pump It Up" by Elvis Costello. We've got both lists after the jump -- with a couple of weeks between us and E3, we'll be discovering the correctitude of these tracks soon enough.[Via Kotaku]Continue reading Rumor: Rock Band 2 setlist reportedly discovered by two sourcesRead | Permalink | Email this | Comments

    Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and the debut trailerFiled under: Nintendo DS, Mac, PC, Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PlayStation 3, Sony PSP, Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox 360, Adventure We would love to get excited for the upcoming video game adaptation of the sixth installment in J.K. Rowling's wildly successful series of books -- unfortunately, our ambitions of striding through Hogwarts' hallowed halls have been sullied by previous lackluster Harry Potter titles from Electronic Arts. To make sure Half Blood Prince is as faithful and entertaining as it can possibly be, we've written up a quick cheat sheet for the game's developers to inform them which elements from the source material should be included when the game hits store shelves in November. Epic wizard duels -- Awesome. Magical puzzles -- Entertaining. Exciting quidditch matches -- Compelling, if handled properly. Collecting "Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans", "Chocolate Frogs", "Fizzing Whizbees", or any other form of magical confection -- About as enjoyable as catching a faceful of Avada Kedavra.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
