I also wanted to comment that CNET is pretty freaking slick....when I was getting the text for the above, I just copy/pasta'd the the first two paragraphs. Somehow, they automatically inserted the "Read More:..." line into my clipboard so I didn't have to go back and attribute it separately!

At least that's this little bear's opinion.
But I'll be damned if I don't raise my kids to play video games on a daily basis.
