The Sky is Falling – Aaron Greenberg Likes a PS3 Game

Aaron Greenberg

Almost every time we bring up Aaron Greenberg’s name, it’s a story about him spitting verbal diarrhia about how much the PS3 and Wii suck his ass. This time, he praised an exclusive game from an competing console. Wait, what? On Major Nelson’s latest podcast, Greenberg praised MLB 09: The Show.

I’ll give a shout out to MLB 09: The Show (sic). I love that…best baseball game I’ve ever played.

I had to do a double take at that one. Either Aaron Greenberg is getting laid a bit more or he realizes the competition actually has some good games. Whichever the case, we should all be happy that the corporate shit show has taken a break for now.

No real changes in this week’s top 10. Halo 3 is still the champ. UFC makes a move in at number 8, while it’s free demo holds at number 6. It looks as if the music games have really fallen off as none of them are in the top 10 again.

Another week at the top for Halo 3. Ever since Mythic Map Pack dropped, Halo 3 has held the number one spot. Some notable members on the list include UFC demo moving up as well as Bionic Commando demo making an appearance. This is the first time in awhile that no music game is in the top 10. Perhaps the fad has finally passed.

Xbox Live Banhammer Coming to Gears 2 Cheaters as Reset-hammer

XBL has been pretty clear that they don’t like cheating. For some reason, people are still so hard for achievements that they risk being reset to zero for a few gamerscore points for the hard to get milestones. Major Nelson dropped some knowledge on us recently about the upcoming beat down:

Deliberate cheats like these are in direct violation of the Xbox LIVE Terms of Use and will not be tolerated. As I post this, we’ve begun taking steps to reset the Gamerscores of the offending players.

I could see if you had to cheat on your Spanish quiz because you didn’t study or cheat at strip poker to get some girls topless, but cheating at gamerscore? Making us all look bad there d-bag.

The more things change, the more things stay the same. Halo 3 remains the top dog on the Live charts for third consecutive week. Love it or Hate it, people still play the shit out of Halo 3.  Big ups to the awesome UFC demo for making an appearance. If the full version is as good as I think it will be, expect UFC to make a lot of noise.

Halo 3 remains the top dog in Xbox 360 land marking to straight weeks on top. There is little else that has changed with the CoD dynamic duo in 2nd and 3rd place. People are still playing a ton of RE5 despite mixed feelings.
