There is so many ways to win and positions can change until the last second and even after that, when everybody already crossed the finish line. Excitement never stops in Ignite as you may never be a sure winner at the lead and you never lost the race just because you are at the last position.

Kiefer Sutherland of "24" fame is back in the game with a new action/drama series
Touch, where a father (Sutherland) discovers his autistic, mute son can predict events before they occur. Created and penned by "
Heroes" writer
Tim Kring, the new series should premiere early next year and also stars
Danny Glover. Could be interesting ...
This weekend, we have no specific plans, so we intend to head to the theater to either check out
Contagion,
Moneyball or
Rise of the Planet of the Apes, but definitely NOT
Machine Gun Preacher.
For our weekly Free Code Friday, we are handing out

I've been struggling with my longtime RSS feed reader. For some reason, it has stopped working and only intermittently gives me updates. It also deleted a bunch of links I had stored up, and it just crapped out on me in general.
Tomorrow is our weekly Free Code Friday, and this time around, we are handing out From Dust PSN codes. If you haven't checked it out yet, be sure to keep an eye on
our Twitter feed.
I also wanted to address our
Space Marine PS3 review. Having played it through on PC and even jumping into some online games, it baffles me that THQ is not fixing the PS3 version. Its multiplayer has been broken since launch, and we've waited over two weeks to see if there would be a patch to rectify the issue, but alas, it did not arrive by review time. That's why it received such a low score in comparison to the
Xbox 360 version.
