Well, as I watched so many different news stories this week pop up about this and that, there are always those few gaming ones that catch my eye. While I am always on the lookout for anything to do with the infamous RROD on the Xbox 360, I myself was stunned to learn that in two different studies of Xbox 360 users, 60% of UK users had major problems with their consoles.

Really Microsoft? 60%? That's a "D" right? Or, if you looked at it the other way around - and only 40% of users said they never had a problem - wow, that way is a complete "F". Hmmm. Not good, not good. But, I'm hoping they can finally refine the RROD problems and get everything worked out, as there are just too many sweet games that will die horrible sad gamer deaths if not.

Also, Assassin's Creed 2 popped out this week as well to the welcome arms of over 1.6 million gamers around the world. While it didn't surpass Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, it made it's dent. And so far, it's shaping up to be one awesome video game, no matter which platform you prefer. With major gift-buying in full gear, I wonder how many of you gamers will be getting Assassin's Creed 2 or CoD: Modern Warfare 2 under your tree?

And for those of you Far Cry fans out there, you can finally breathe, as Ubisoft finally came out with it and said that yes, Far Cry 3 is in development.

(You can cheer, no one will see your happy dance there at home.)

While they aren't releasing much yet on the game, it's supposedly looking pretty darn awesome - like we ever thought it wouldn't...
