As I have mentioned in the past, I am a child of the late 1970′s/early 1980′s and one of the things I grew up wtih was the threat of nuclear war.

You would think there could be no news story that could trump the announcement of an Elder Scrolls MMO, but for me, there is one thing that could do it, and it is more Saints Row The Third insanity being announced. Yes, the guys and gals at Volition are preparing to release more insanity this fall with the standalone expansion to Saints Row The Third called,...

We never want to admit that we like to play dress up, but secretly we do when we buy things for our Xbox avatars. After all, we want them to look cool. We want to feel like a digital badass. In practice, we probably think they are the dorkiest things and want to secretly lock them in a closet. With the latest avatar items, THQ hopes to make your avatar less of a...
