BTW, thanks again for getting this started, Tony. It was definitely something that needed to be done, and I’m glad you got the ball rolling. I’ve read lots of cools stuff I never would have seen before.

Yeah me too, I quite enjoyed this one. Some day we’ll have to get all the game bloggers together, perhaps at a Carnivale. Except there would be games, ale and…maybe elephants.

Elephants would be a nice touch.

Yeah, Foton did a bang-up job on the Carnival this month. I was nervous that it was starting to lose momentum but we had a decent number of entries, which is good to see. Thanks to all that participated.

Personally, I think I’d vote against the elephants.

Most be another one of those violent video games, right? An Italian man who argued with his son over Sony PlayStation tactics was recovering in hospital on Monday after the teenager stabbed him in the neck with a 15-inch kitchen knife, police and hospital officials said. What was he playing? Grand Theft Auto IV? Modern Warfare 2? God of War? The man, identified as Fabrizio R., suffered a deep cut to the throat after his 16-year-old son, Mario, attacked him during an argument on Sunday over the soccer video game FIFA 2009. Huh. So it wasn't a violent video game that led to this violent outburst. My world view = shattered. —Tony [Comment]

Rockstar saw fit to release GTA: Chinatown Wars for the iPod Touch and iPhone over the weekend. Price: $10. —Nat [Comment]

Another weekend is upon us. This weekend may not present many opportunities to game for me, but when they do I'll be engrossed in Dragon Age. So far I like what I've seen and am looking forward to seeing a whole lot more. If I only get a moment or two for gaming it will probably be some Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer. I'd also like to get back to Borderlands, so that is always an option. What are you playing? —Tony [Comment]
