Spider-Man swung back into theaters, and it did exactly what we knew it would. The question is though, was it good? The RAMageddon becomes the RAMpocalypse, as it comes for every component, and will continue forever. Black Ops 1 & 2 jump the sales charts, and EA goes private. Meanwhile we should have listened to Wesley when he said he was the only Blade.

XBOX finally reveals its reset, as the Sony fallout continues. Are the console wars back on, or are we marching to a collapse. Jackass: Best and Last is definitely the last, but is it the best? The Emmy nominees are out, Hollywood shifts to gaming, and what's is going on with Fast & Furious?

Major Announcement we are shifting our coverage. This is a permanent change. No there isn't news about PlayStation raising prices. Or That Dave Chappelle is coming to CoD. Nintendo losing a lawsuit, not here. Netflix raising prices, I guess that might warrant sports coverage. Also not sure who Supergirl or He-man are.
