  Buy Mercury Meltdown Revolution

  Mercury Meltdown Revolution (MMR) is a great little game for Wii that's available at a budget price. Think of it as a cross between Marble Madness and Monkey Ball. While garbage like Boogie and licensed dreck sell like hotcakes, games like MMR go unnoticed and unappreciated. You can help remedy that by snagging yourself a copy of MMR for the low price of $19.99 from Buy.com.

  If you use Google Checkout as a first-time customer, you get $10 off. So with that discount, my copy of MMR came to just under $15 shipped - plus it arrived only 2 days later. You can't beat a deal like that, so check it out.

  Sony fanboys unite! For great justice!!one!

  So on Friday, I read an article here at Gamespot detailing Sony's latest PS3 ad campaign. There's nothing remarkable about it, though it is a pretty cool commercial (see commercial here). I posted this seemingly innocuous comment to the story:

  "I just saw this commercial on TV the other day. Cool ad, but the next console I buy will probably be a 360. It's got more "must-have" games at the moment than the PS3, particularly with Mass Effect set to be released any day now. I'll get a PS3 when they're cheaper and there are more killer apps out there for it.
  
  Anyway, why is this ad campaign worthy of a news article? I see nothing noteworthy about it. This article reads a whole lot like free advertising for Sony."

  However, some overzealous Sony fanboy apparently took exception to my post, and it was marked as a troll and deleted. Seems a bit harsh, doesn't it? Nothing I said in my post was untrue, and if Gamespot is going to start running advertising masked as legit articles...oh wait, they already do that (e.g. the video card "reviews" that pop up every so often).
