Tiger Woods 10 gets Banff Springs DLC

Although I am not a golf aficionado, I am a Banff fan. Banff is very nice, but i would rather go there than play it in a golf video game. It's only 3 hours from where i live.

I have been trying to get an update on my RRoD repair, and have not been able to get onto the repair site at all for the past 3 days. The page is loading as we speak, but it has been a half an hour. My browser has not timed out, so I am getting some loading going on, but it is taking for-ev-er.

3-year Xbox 360 warranty extended to cover E74 errors

Bloody Hell. just over one month since i took mine apart, and they say it's under warranty. oh, well, i had already bought an elite when it died, so now it's just a valuable hardware lesson.

Mass Effect 2 won't 'shy away from emotionally engaging moments'

Here's my issue. The ESRB rating system and what it allows and disallows under it's ratings is terribly skewed when compared to other rating systems in the entertainment industry. When was the last time you saw naked breasts in a video game? Oh, right, NEVER. Because that would make the ESRB rate it as AO, effectively a death sentence for a game because no "Respectable Company" will sell or rent the game. But these "Respectable Companies" will sell or rent this film, with the rating "Rated PG-13 for disaster related peril and violence, nudity, sensuality and brief language." (IMDB.com). And that movie is: *Ta-Da* TITANIC. Yes, the winner of 11(!) Oscars and one of the biggest box office draws in history is rated PG-13. And it contains naked breasts. And keep in mind this is merely a PG-13 rated film.
Here's one that's rated R. And remember, this is the one where if you will be asked for ID at the theater, not unlike being asked for ID when you purchase an M rated game. "Rated R for pervasive sexual content, language and some drug use." Note the 'pervasive sexual content'. There were clips of pornography in this film. Not just this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYxiL26llwQ&feature=related (Possibly NSFW, if your boss is strict on side views of CG ass), this is for real PORN. And the movie is: The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Again, standard fare in a "Respectable Company's" collection for you to buy or rent.
What I want from the video game industry is a more accurate way of rating games with more ratings. And I want that system to be closer to what people expect when it comes to other genres of entertainment. And the last thing I want is for parents to get off their lazy asses and actually take a look at what their kids are playing, or buying, or what they are buying for their kids. Get an education on something that they are trusting to raise their children, because real parenting has taken the backseat in some cases.
