Prediction: You will remember this week as one you completely forgot. Onto the games!

FlatOut: Head On is coming to the PC and PSP. The week's biggest releases! This is like hearing Donny Osmond will be performing in Reno and Sacramento. What, no Mac version?

Carrier Strike Force - Okay, okay, so imagine that someone working on an actual aircraft carrier buys an aircraft carrier sim, and like a normal person, they play it at work, alt + tabbing between the game and their work applications when their boss walks by. They think they've tabbed back into the game, where they're waiting to launch a hellish rain of shark-faced rockets into the backyard of evil terrorists with bad teeth, but when they push the big red button (Aircraft carriers use those, right?), they accidentally use real weapons to obliterate:

A) Abacus Software's Offices (makers of Carrier Strike Force)

B) Bin Laden's hiding place, killing him and Elvis

C) A farm run by kittens

I'm not sure which of those would be funnier, however, I should mention at this point that Carrier Strike Force is not an aircraft carrier sim. It is an add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator X that lets you take off from, and land on, aircraft carriers. Kitten farmers everywhere breathe tiny sighs of relief.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Hard Evidence - a.k.a. Where's Waldo's Semen?

Miami Nights: Singles in the City - It's rated T. So you will probably not use the microphone to snort drugs off a prostitute's posterior. I suspect you will use the stylus, instead.

Rail Simulator - where trains either stop, or go.

Today in the news, and by today, I mean last week (one of these is fake, see if you can tell):

Another conservative blog's condemnation of the Mass Effect sex scene is ironically more sexually explicit than the scene itself.

There is another video game coming out!

A big company is acquiring a smaller one (Rumor)

Financial reports show the Nintendo DS is popular in Japan!

Studies show that playing video games can make you write blogs good

Yes, I agree, totally.

No, I have not played any of the above games, though I am OUTRAGED by the sex scenes in Miami Nights: Singles in the City.

No, as far as I know, there are no sex scenes in Miami Nights: Singles in the City. Outrageous!

Yes, I am totally a fanboy of that system.

Totally.
