A tv remote slash numchuks. As brilliant as Nintendo fanboys will think this is I cant help but to think, that this is just more bamboozling by Nintendo. 1st off you’ll have to buy accessory after accessory just to get the thing working on any mainstream game. And in the end you’ll have a basic controller. How is buying an accessory to turn my controller into a gun, or steering wheel any different than buying a gun controller or a steering wheel controller? Answer – its not. The real innovation here is that the company that gave us Mario Sunshine, and pokemon color wheel, and rehash after rehash of old games (how many super Mario brothers or Mario cart clones do I need) can still, somehow, claim to be innovative. Heres a challenge for all. Get your PS2 DVD remote, pop in a game, and play away. Having fun yet? No? Neither did I when I tried it 3 years ago. Good luck Nintendo. And I look forward to playing your games on my PS3 in the near future (Sega anyone?).

Wash. Man Says He Killed Child Rapists
By DONNA GORDON BLANKINSHIP
BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) - A man who turned himself in and said he killed two convicted child rapists might have been motivated by a notorious case in Idaho in which two children were abducted in mid-May.

Michael Anthony Mullen called police Monday to turn himself in and later confessed to killing Hank Eisses and Victor Vasquez on Aug. 27, officers said.

``One possible reason was the case in Idaho,'' police Lt. Craige Ambrose told The Associated Press. Ambrose wouldn't elaborate, saying the case was still under investigation.

Mullen was booked into jail for investigation of murder pending a court appearance.

Police said they believe Mullen's claim that he killed the two registered sex offenders because he knew details only the killer would know. He knew that the victims were each shot once in the head, and he knew the caliber of the weapon.

``Mullen also said that he had planned the murders for some time and that on July 13, 2005, he had accessed the Whatcom County Sheriff's sex offender Web site, and from that selected at least one of the two victims,'' according to a police department news release.

As is typical in Washington, the sheriff's Web site lists the residences of sex offenders who are required to register with local authorities.

Mullen, 36, has a criminal record but no history of violence, Ambrose said.

In the Idaho case, Joseph Edward Duncan is accused of fatally beating three people with a hammer in a home outside Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, in order to abduct two children for sex.

He was arrested July 2 at a restaurant with one of the children, 8-year-old Shasta Groene. Remains of her 9-year-old brother, Dylan, were found in a Montana forest two days later.

According to police, Mullen said he mailed a letter about the Bellingham killings to several news outlets last week. The Bellingham Herald, the daily newspaper in this college and mill town of about 71,000, reported Thursday that the letter threatened other sexual predators.

``He said there are more letters forthcoming,'' Ambrose said of Mullen's confession.

Eisses, 49, and Vasquez, 68, were found shot to death at their apartment Aug. 27. They were both classified as Level 3 sex offenders, the type considered most likely to re-offend.

Their bodies were found by a roommate, also a sex offender, who said a man wearing a blue jumpsuit and a cap that said ``FBI'' came to their apartment, told them he was an FBI agent and said he wanted to discuss their status as sex offenders.

The supposed federal agent told them that one of them was on a ``hit list,'' police said.

The roommate said he left while the FBI impostor was still there and he found the bodies when he returned about four hours later.

Vasquez was convicted in 1991 of molesting several relatives, according to court documents. He was released from prison about two years and remained under Department of Corrections supervision.

Eisses was sentenced to 5 1/2 years in prison in 1997 for raping a 13-year-old boy. He was released from supervision about two years ago, said Kit Bail, Corrections Department field supervisor for Whatcom County.

my take: more power to 'em. thank you Mr. Mullen

These are in the game, on the field stuff. I'm not talking about Cribs or surperstar or VIP or mini-games (though VIP was the greatest thing to happen to sports games since 'franchise mode'). I'm doing this to let people know what there missing and maybe get somebody to try something different. cause' until PS3 & XBOX 360 come out 2k6 is THE best football out there.

Just finished MGS3, and i have to say it was a very good and interesting game, with a very different feel from 2, but my big problem with all games like this (story driven action games; GTA's, Splinter Cell, RE's, etc.) is thier complete lack of replay value. Its one with GTA thier big and long and i get a large amount of play out of them. But the others , 20 hours ? thats just not enough for 50$ (got my MGS3 used) I finished got some new stuff and all my camo's started to play for about 5 minutes and was so bored I started to write my initials in tree trunks with a machine gun. needless to say it's getting traded in today. But cant they do smoething to make these games interesting a 2nd time through? maybe not, maybe it just cost too much with these big budget titles. maybe it's just me. but i dont think so.

I really cant play MGS3 anymore knowing theres a version coming with a workable camera!! And why wasnt it put in in the 1st place ? $$ ? Konami's starting to really do the DVD double dip thing. So with MGS4 I'll just wait for the 'subsistence' release. If i get it at all.

i just checked my VIP , ive played over 300 hours , and i still love it best football game ever ? no , best game ever , with that said though , im still probably going to get madden this year. 2k5 football we hardly knew ye.

I dont know about you, but backwards compatibilty means a Whole lot to me in the next round of consoles.

If EA gets me customized dunks, or better yet ‘create a dunk’. And a lot more old players, like Ewing, Hakeem, Barkley, Im there. If not, so long Street.
