Video game patches need not apply
If Aeropause were a person and not a blog, I’d buy it a beer in a pub. Why? Because it seems like I agree with them a lot these days.

Spider-Man 3 impresses IGN — to a point
This is the kind of news I like to hear after returning home from a failed trip to Target to secure a Wii for my family: Spider-Man 3 was built from the ground up specifically for the Wii and will not be a port. As noted, there are a couple technical issues that have our spider-senses tingling, but we’re simultaneously impressed by the fact that Vicarious Visions has put the extra effort in ...
