This is what the internet woke up to this morning.
Then, the internet promptly imploded.
Personally, I can’t wait. Especially after watching the game play videos.

That collective wail emanating across the Web on Wednesday was the sound of video gamers denied. Microsoft had promised to debut a beta, or test, version Wednesday of multiplayer elements of the highly anticipated “Halo 3″ for Xbox 360 users to try out. The game would be open to players who had bought specially marked versions of another Xbox 360 game, “Crackdown.” However, when players tried to access the beta, they were told to try later. That continued throughout the day, causing fits of confusion and, yes, even panic for some die-hard fans.

Ok, I am officially really, really happy that I got Trauma Center instead of Prince of Persia. This game is an absolute blast to play. It’s painfully difficult at times, but the process involved in performing operations is so enjoyable, that you can’t help but play the same episode over and over again until you finally save that patient.
The story — and it’s surprising that there IS one at all — is enormously entertaining. The over-the-top drama really drives the action forward, and it’s amazing how involved you can get in the story. The characters are perfect reinventions of classic ER TV drama stereotypical characters, only blown up to about 10 times the proportion you would imagine they should be.
It’s a truly phenomenal game. If you have a Wii, you might want to consider removing Super Paper Mario for a few minutes, and giving this title a try.

So, I sent back TMNT this past weekend, and was looking forward to playing some Sonic and the Secret Rings, which was next on my GamezNFlix rental queue. However, I checked my queue yesterday morning and noticed that Sonic was still listed with a low availability, which meant the game might not ship for a while. So, since nothing had shipped, I decided to switch around Sonic and place Prince of Persia: Rival Swords at the top slot. So, what do I see when I check out my queue this morning? I see that Trauma Center: Second Opinion has shipped. Trauma Center, which was fifth on my queue.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m still interested in playing a wacky surgical simulator. I just wasn’t expecting to play it so soon.
So, did I screw something up on my queue by moving things around while they were getting ready to ship something? Or [...]
