Punch-Out!! (Wii)
The roster is mostly composed of fighters from the earlier games, but they are as exhilarating to fight now as they were the first time and come with a number of new moves and techniques that will flummox even the more hardened Punch-Out veterans. Some missteps with the balance board aside, this is a great update to the classic franchise. Read more

Rock Band without the plastic instruments: Unplugged for PSP
Rock Band has gone portable, kind of: MTV Games, Harmonix, and EA have shipped Rock Band Unplugged to stores, meaning you'll finally have a new UMD game for your dust-gathering PSP. Although the game won't go on sale until June 9, we thought we'd give you an idea of what to look forward to just in case you find someplace putting this on the shelves a little early. Read more

Nate Lanxon
Get ready to buy Sonic the Hedgehog for the umpteenth time--the original Sega classic is now available on your iPhone, and for the measly price of $5.99. The complete first adventure of Hirokazu Yasuhara's blue-haired speedfreak plays surprisingly well on the iPhone and iPod Touch. You only ever needed left, right, and jump controls, so that's all you're getting on the iPhone. And they come in the form of virtual onscreen buttons. Read more

Red half-ring of death?
Posted by GenGamer32
I always get the half ring (2 quadrants) of death after about 15 minutes of playing on my Xbox 360, but its on a glass cabinet and plenty of ventilation plus I've checked the back for dust.

However, I still get the half ring of death!

1. Is this really overheating or does the half ring relate to more problems?
2. Is the half ring of death problems included in the extended three-year warranty that Microsoft rolled out?
3. If no, how much it costs approximate to be repaired?

I know I should go to Microsoft for my problems, but I just wanted to ask the public first.

Many thanks  Read more
