SUMODOWNLOAD

W-h J: I fear that this time, the game might have played a part.

Clarifications:

Sumodownload has always been on the skeptical side when it comes to game related murders.

Genius (but limited) yes, practical no.

Apparently, “Gravity Gym” in Manhattan charges gym goers a whopping $110 per session when using their Gym’s ”party gaming animal” exercise machine.  The Wii.

With a price like that, an intelligent guess comes to mind that “it might be because of a service offered other than just playing the game.” However, aside from getting professional help from their trainers that you can get from other gyms by paying $40, there’s nothing else offered in the table.

For once they truly concentrated on what gamers want, just the games.

Microsoft turned in a pretty interesting conference this year. I was hoping that they would emphasize on their current hit titles. Everyone was hoping for another epic Halo.
