It's that time of year again, and the game releases are non-stop. It's a great time to be a player and a hell of a time to be a reviewer--but the boys have it on lock downstairs and have been pumping out a plethora of reviews for all of the latest releases. Of course, the week wouldn't be complete without your reviews, a new trivia leader, some crazy rants in the boards, and a Gears of War skinned Zune Giveaway. Did we miss anything? Let us know in the comments.

The Bomb Drop has proved a great idea already. Keep it up!

What about that PS3 blog though? Can you put a warning up if advertised community blogs are going to be blatant fanboyism?
