If only she does her best Greta Garbo impression after she resigns...

Edit: here are some quickie reviews of games I am playing

Quantum of Solace: Decent, above average for a movie game

Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard: Hilarious, but wretched FPS mechanics

Last Remnant: Intriguing and good, but there is a lot of grinding

Star Wars: Force Unleashed: So far, so good! Need to play it more

Rapala Fishing Frenzy: a single game mechanic does not make for a full game. XBLA maybe.

World Series of Poker: You needA LOT of patience to play this game.

So my parents-in-law are in town. On Monday my father-in-law visited the doctor, complaining of a cough. The doctor perscribed him anasal spray, a red syrup and some pills. He went home and took all 3 before going to bed, thinking they were simple cough remedies.

Oops. It turns out it was Vicodin cough syrup and vicodin pills. The nasal spray, luckily, was harmless. But the other two messed him up big time. He was puking all night and his head was spinning so bad that he thought he was going to die.

Now I have to ask you:

What kind of a doctor perscribes vicodin for a cough?

P.S. He is fine now, but he chucked the medicine in the garbage as soon as he felt better. I told him he should have sold it down at the high school. I don't think he got the joke.

So if you've read the review on Jumper: Griffin's Story, you might think it's bad. Well, it's much worse than that. It's definitely the worst game on Xbox 360. You collect experience to... unlock achievements. You gather collectibles in a loot room. When you go to said loot room, you cannot interact with said collectibles and they are so poorly drawn that they are unrecognizable. The characters you fight look so much like you that you often lose where you are in the crush. In a game about teleporting all over the place you are barred by invisible walls from the majority of visible places. If you quit the game and come back, none of your checkpoints will have saved and you will have to start the chapter over again. This only matters on the last chapter, which is larger than the rest of the game combined. Oh, and did I mention the graphics would be embarrassing on a PS1? (other than drop zone cut scenes).

I suppose it could be worse- Brash entertainment could still be in business despite making terrible games.

But on the plus side, you can get about 400 gamerscore points in 10 minutes! It hands out 50 point achievements for each of the 5 main attacks, 2 more for pulling off combos and another for using a drop zone, all 8 of these come during the 'tutorial' level.
