It’s not big week in terms of the number of games coming out, but it’s frickin’ huge for enthusiast gamers! On Xbox 360 there’s BioWare’s Mass Effect 2
, which a bunch of you were looking forward to. The PlayStation 3 has MAG
, if you’re interested in getting your multiplayer groove on in mind-shattering numbers. Wii fans have Tatsunoko VS. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
and No More Heroes 2
to look forward to. As for the handheld systems? I didn’t notice anything worth mentioning or making fun of.
Are you buying any of these games this week? (If so, feel free to use those handy Amazon links above! *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*)

I think he should come back and play. He played great this year and can play another year or two. I'm pretty sure he'll put Minnesota through the usual off season drama when it's all a ploy to avoid training camp. He'll make a decision to play again as soon as training camp is over. Besides, would you want the last play of your career to be a Superbowl trip costing interception?
@N8R I'm waiting for an illustration of Jesus with shoulder pads. I think that would be awesome. It would be ever cooler if other deities played with him.
@RROD – probably not, but he isn't getting any younger, maybe you're right and his luck is running out. no doubt he is still good, but he didn't look too happy about a few of those hits during the game.
@R-Pad
Buddy Christ can make that happen!
@ everyone
I had to share this:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100125/od_nm/us_ital…
Manning hits the dirt before he gets hit. That is why he doesn't get injured. He did have a scare with staph after surgery though.
@shockwave
I have thought about it and I can't call Manning better than Elway yet. Elway played hard for 2 decades. Rules protecting QBs weren't like they are now, medicine wasn't as advanced, and the guy got yards with his feet. I miss those days really. I think that is why I like Favre. He reminds me of Elway.
@smartguy – point taken
@N8R – that is hilarious
You might as well put flags on the QBs now.
@Smartguy
Do you keep Reggie Bush at his current price tag or let him go?
@Sandrock323 In my head, Allah is the best wide receiver in the league. For the large version of Buddha that some cultures use, well, there's your offensive line. The smaller Buddha, that's your kicker. I'm not sure who to use as running back.
Dang, this comment probably has me going to five different hells.
@RROD – speaking of which, I'm pretty sure Kyle Orton is going to get an offer or 2 this off-season. I doubt the Broncos will be willing to match it.
@ R Pad
Alright, I changed the gravatar for ya.
@RROD
keep him. Vikes main concern was to stop him. They did except for his TD. Ethically you can't just cut him. He reworked his contract twice already. They owe him the 8 as backpay in a sense.
Btw, that guy Shiancoe is the new Tony Gonzalez. Monster of a TE with great hands.
@N8R
They should have just bought him a violent game so that he could vent some of that anger. Then again, those Euros are all angry when it come to soccer.
@R-Pad
I see Aries as a better offensive lineman, where as Budda makes the better defensive lineman.
Thanks for the great link. Leave it up to the "Paisans" to resort to violence over soccer again.
Anyone here think the PATS threw their playoff game so they wouldn't be a top 8 team? Remember in an uncapped season the top 8 teams can't sign a free agent unless they lose one.
@Smartguy
I would only keep Reggie Bush for a cheap price. The Saints have not gotten their moneys worth out of him. They overlooked a lot of great players to get him 2nd overall and pay him a fortune.
@smartguy comment 124
i never thought of that but that would mean Belichik is more a genius than we thought.
@RROD
he does a lot of things locally. Very nice guy. He has reduced his salary twice, he is owed the 8. They are keeping him. It makes no sense to trade or cut someone who does a lit for the team and community in an uncapped year.
I think this year you will see a lot of front loaded contracts this offseason before a new CBA is in place.
@tokz
plus they have Oakland's number 1 pick. Amazing huh? I betthey did throw the game.
@smartguy
Yes, they were smart about trading Seymour and fleecing Oakland for their#1.
@Sandrock323 I'm not sure about that. Ares is more violent, but I don't think he's as effective. Plus, he's part of a pantheon and couldn't possibly be as powerful as a god from a single-deity religion.
That said, I think you found the team's running back.
@ Smartguy
I contend that they threw it to keep the Steelers out.
I’m passing on MAG.
Methinks RRoD is actually pissed the Falcons traded Favre to the Packers and thus he missed out on that long HoF career in Atlanta.
I’m not making excuses for the play at the end of the game, but it’s hard to blame the whole loss on the guy when the whole team had trouble holding onto the ball. They should have blown NO out if not for constantly putting the ball on the ground.
@Rrod. I knew that about the packers and cocking, I didn’t know for sure he did that as a jet as well. I feel a little bad for him to have to live with that bringing down a good career. But I also do think (and really hope) that the colts will win, but both teams could really use that win. I am excited to see a good game though with two number one seeds for the first time in a while.
@N8R
I just watched an old America's Game (97 Broncos, I got nostalgic for some Elway) and Levon Kirkland has to have been the biggest linebacker in Steeler's history. Son of a bitch!
@nightshade
refer to comment 60
@ Smartguy
Dude was huge. My brother worked at bar at Pittsburgh International Airport around that time and he said every monday or tuesday morning after an away game, Levon Kirkland would hang out and bs with him for a few hours. Which gets to my point, he's a super cool guy as well.
Unlike Big Ben… Ben is constantly making an ass out of himself in the bars on the South Side of Pittsburgh. He usually always gets chicks (he is Big Ben after all), but he gets completely wasted and makes a fool of himself on a regular basis.
Kirkland was the man, but I don't think he was the biggest ever, I think it was Jack Lambert… I'll have to research that. James Farrior is a big dude, and pound for pound Greg Lloyd might have been the strongest.
@smartguy
I think you’re seeing the game through hometown eyes. If you give up 6 turnovers nad your QB is leading you into FG range to win the game but he throws a pick, that’s blowing it!
@LarcenousLaugh
You’re exactly right but I never said Brett was average. I was stating that any QB who plays as long as he did will have the more TD passes than QBs who only played for 10 due to injury.
@LarcenousLaugh
When I watch tv my tv stays on ESPN and the NFL Network and all I hear is too much praise and excuses for Brett Favre that no other QB gets. I don’t know if you ever watch the sports channels but it’s there. The media man crush on Brett is so obvious. I don’t know how you can miss it.
too….much…to….read
im also passing on mag, the game looks like total ass, mag 2 might be something though
the vikings are a better team than the saints, they just gave the game away…over and over
12 men in the huddle penalty…that was bad
if i had been driving the car that big ben hit, i think a funny thing to say would be
"hey kids, big ben, parliament"
@Thundercracker
Bullshit they are a better team. The Saints caused those turnovers (except for 1) and the Saints had great returns on special teams to set up the short field. Naturally when you have a short field you don't have as many yards. They put up 31 points on a damn good defense. Minn has a pretty good O, so you knew they were gonna score some points.
I'm tired of reading this all over the internet that the Vikes were a better team. If they were the better team, they should have won. They didn't. Saints biggest problem from the game? Not converting on the 3rd and short downs. IF they had, the Vikes wouldn't have been in the game. Easy as that.
as you know, the best team doesnt always win
its not like you are suiting up on sundays, i dont mean to piss you off
i think the saints' offensive line did a fantastic job of pass blocking against that ridiculous viking front 4, the bottom line is that the vikings were one 12 men in the huddle penalty away from having a shot at the game winning kick with like 6 seconds left in the game despite all the mistakes they made
im not suggesting the vikings were much better, i just think they have more talent from top to bottom….but god damn im glad they lost
i mean thats just my opinion though, both of those teams are fuckin fantastic
go saints
@Thundercraacker
No, not pissed or offended. I just don't see the logic that people take. Saints and Vikes were neck and neck most of the season to be honest. However in that game, the Saints were still the better team. Vikes have more talent on D, not O. They have a better RB…but he fumbles A LOT.
Saints played a good game despite some bonehead calls by Payton as well as the obvious 3rd and short failed conversions. Just saying, 183 return yards while forcing 5 and recovering 6 turnovers shows me the Saints did a better job. Vikes D line was ineffective for the most part. I don't see how they were the better team. They outgained the Saints on yards? Saints had the short field.
Regardless, Geaux Saints lol.
What don't you like about MAG?
sorry im late here
mag doesnt look polished, the maps dont look finished to me, the aiming seems broken, the other players are difficult to kill
ive only played the beta twice, and i dont see myself going back to it
