Another big week for games as we saw the boards aflutter over a review week that saw the PS3 trying to take down the 360's Gears 2 swagger. Apparently there's some gaming to be done and despite a nasty trivia habit, you had some time to add some reviews of your own. On the news front we had a good chuckle at the ESRB's expense, learned some hard facts about load times on the upcoming New Xbox Experience, and learned the tricks of the trade behind sounding like Daft Punk whilst lounging in World of War lobbies. Did we miss anything? Let us know in the comments.

- Developer Coonce steals away a link to point out an actual user of the site by forcing me to link to Hampster on a Piano as the Off-Topic post of the week. He launched trivia this week. So it's OK... this time.
