I’ll admit that my time is extremely precious. Between work, blogging on two sites, and college, any spare time I may have is used for simple tasks such as eating, going to the bathroom, and when the mood strikes me, taking a shower (just kidding, I’m much cleaner than that.) But every now and then I do manage to break away from the daily grind and get in some good ‘ol gaming time. While first person shooters are one of my old favorites, I find as of...

As their competitors have lowered prices to cope with sagging sales in this economy, Sony has remained steadfast in their pricing time and time again denouncing rumors of price cuts and a slimmer more energy efficient PS3.
