Well as I say every month, it's my favorite time of the month as it's NPD time. Time to see what software customers where buying and what hardware those games were moving.
Twitter and all the video game podcast's were all over Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption so it's no surprise to see it have the top spot. I bought the game but after 3 hours of game play I've yet to get hooked into it. I know I'm still early on in the game but I don't get it yet.

On Thursday May 20th the Canadian media was invited out the ModNation Racer's launch event for a day of hands on time with the game and of course some Go Karting at the 401 Mini Indy in Toronto.
ModNation Racer's is developed by United Front Games who is located in Vancouver. The motto behind MNR is "Play, Create, and Share", you may remember a similar motto from another Sony title Little Big Planet.
The game looks great and the controls work really well. The typical premise of a racing ...

Well it's been about 4 months since my loving girlfriend bought me a set of the Astro A40's and Mix up for Christmas or whatever holiday you call it. I think it's time for a follow up since my review. These beauties sound amazing, it's as simple as that. With my girlfriend in her final year of university there was a lot of studying going on, a lot of papers being written and not wanting to sacrifice all the amazing titles that have come out in the last 4 months the A40's have earned every penny ...

It's one of my favorite times of the month, NPD sales are released. Just a reminder that these are NOT the Canadian numbers.
The DS Lite, DSi and DSi XL take the top spot this month. The 360 and PS3 both very respectable numbers and the PSP was almost outsold by the PS2. Seriously? why are people STILL buying that console?
1.Nintendo DS 700.8K
2.Wii 557.5K
3.Xbox 360 338.4K
4.PlayStation 3 313.9K
5.PSP 119.9K
6.PlayStation 2 118.3K
Dear Kratos, thanks for the awesome combos you all...

It was Saturday March 27th, 2010, the temperature was 5 degrees and the sun was shining bright. 40 teams, each consisting of 2 people, arrived on the Canadian National Exhibition grounds, in Toronto, to report for the Inside Splinter Cell Conviction Challenge.
After we registered for the event, we were provided with a sling backpack which was full of supplies. Inside the bag we were given a Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) day pass, a $50 dollar pre-paid visa card, a mirror, a fake ID, snacks...
