MOTD
We watched the season finale of Hell's Kitchen, and I must admit that the winner was not our favorite. Dave, "The One-Armed Bandit," sure toughed his way through the season, but Kevin had a higher standard, and while his final service wasn't as smooth as his competitor's, his menu was way more sophisticated and the presentation was excellent. However, since the grand prize is a spot at a bar & grill, the location probably favors the meat dishes more so than Kevin's seafood-focused choices. You donkey!
We have a few more previews & interviews coming up for you this week. We went hands on with our Dark Void build, MX vs. ATV Reflex, and a few upcoming Ubisoft titles.
Taking a break from CrimeCraft, Red Faction and Operation Flashpoint, we decided to change the pace and check out Zuma's Revenge. It's as addictive as ever, and while the game does not differ much from the original, there are new modes, new extras and more ball-busting fun.

Characters can be approached but will offer different responses and be found in different places, while new clues and gameplay paths can be followed.

One of most features the PS3 community has been requested for, quite a while, is cross game chat, and while the last few firmware updates have been rather limited in new features, that might change shortly if we may believe Naughty Dog. On the official PlayStation forum, a Naughty Dog developer 'ReklissAbandon'
let it slip that "Not to mention that the next PS3 firmware update is going to allow cross game chat." Sony will probably not be too happy about the "leak" of that information, but the fans will rejoice.
