The Blog for the Sports Gamer

Oops, sorry for no post yesterday, I was still in mourning over Adam leaving the Patriots.

In other news, I am apparently one of the only 360 owners that didn’t go out and buy Oblivion. When review assignments were coming out I actually begged off. I mean seriously, a game that deep, how can you do it justice. What’s funny is that for this game all of the big review sites are taking their time with the review. Nice. Of course, I am assuming they’ve had the build for sometime. I seriously doubt they went to the store on Tuesday and purchased the game like us common folk.

What’s funny about the GamerScore system is that on gamercards you can see the last couple of games being played. Since Gamespot’s article about how to inflate your gamerscore, it’s kinda funny how shit launch titles are now popular again because of the points they provide…

One of my favorite Microsoft employee blogs talks about Peter Moore and the annoying questions that the big 3 sites asked him. He did a press junket (like they do in the movies — So Tom, tell me how it was working with Steven Spielberg was replaced with Peter, will we see any more Xbox 360s in stores soon). I know the sites wanted the scoop and you can’t blame them for asking the questions they did. But it was funny to see it from the ‘other side’.

Thanks to Jim Cassinelli for providing this post about IGN’s Top Cyber atheletes. I’ll give props here, this was a neat idea. Looking forward to the Baseball one. They better give props to the guy who lead off Hardball on teh Blue team. I think his name was Molina.

Finally today I leave you with this hysterical rider for the Vice President. Like Bruce Springsteen, Vice President Cheney has a rider for his hotel room. While there’s nothing as jaw dropping as what rock stars ask for (ie brand name water in a bucket of ice pre-chilled to 49.5 degrees), there are some funny things in there — in a shocker, the VP requires all TVs turned to Fox News. Check it out here.
