game-of-life posts

Since it's the day before Christmas where I am (with a nod to those of our readers who do not celebrate Christmas -- congratulations on escaping the seasonal guilt), I thought I'd take a step back and get a meta-level look at life as it relates to video games. Well, to be honest, that's what every installment of Big Ideas is, an exploration of some meta-idea or another. But this time around, let's personalize it just a bit further. To wit: If life is a game, is it single-player or MMO? The answers may shock you!

Or you'll just skip the whole piece as ridiculous after the first few paragraphs, in which case consider it my gift to you. In the spirit of the holidays, then, read on!

This week for PC releases the truck has come to town. With titles like Race Driver: GRID and Lego Indiana Jones hitting stores, there's something for everyone. Launching along side their console versions, GRID and Lego Indy are just two of the handful of releases hitting this week.

With so many recent PC releases also breathing life on consoles, we scoff at anyone who says PC gaming is dead. Dead? If it was dead would we have Kung Fu Panda hitting shelves this week too? Yeah, that's right. Put that opinion to rest right now! Wait, probably not the best example.

Full release list for the week ending June 7, after the jump!
