Just found this. Nikki is a rising star 
We’ve been thinking and arguing over which game will end up as game of the year. Any ideas? My husband, since he’s just beat it, loves Bioshock, but we both can’t help but think that Halo 3, with it’s amazing multiplayer, and top-notch single player, will edge out Bioschock to win.
I can’t decide for sure, but if I were a betting woman, I’d bet Halo 3. It’s a well-loved series with more than enough oomph to make it playable for years (yes years) to come. Bioshock can’t say that…
On a cool note, I get to see Morgan Webb this week, at the Web 2.0 Expo here in SF. The opening keynote, after O’Reilly, is from Zuckerburg, so I’m really looking forward to the whole event. I’m so glad I moved to SF.
UnitedForPink has posted that Cavegirls forum is throwing a Halo 3 Breast Cancer tourney this weekend.
Finding a cure for breast cancer isn’t just for walkers and the racers anymore. Meet a determined gamer named Kari Toyama from an active ‘Halo’ gaming community called Cavegirls. I was really intrigued by this story, and I wanted to help spread the word! Playing ‘Halo’ to help find a cure?
Of course, just my luck, it’s already full (I can still sponsor a player though). Not that I would have lasted long, but it surely would have been nice to have a genuine excuse to play H3.
On a related note, my XBox time has increased lately. On Halo 3 we’ve gotten all the skulls, most of the achievements, and have beat it on legendary multiple times (yeah… we rock). Halo is something we never tire of… We’ve even been going back and playing H1 and H2 lately, though playing H1 on a 360 sucks, because it’s SO slow with the emulator running. A friend brought over Bioshock yesterday, so we are currently enthralled in that game, but I expect to be back on LIVE shortly. Hit me up for a friend request (Duzins) if you enjoy slaughtering girls (I love that the sound I make in game as I die now sounds female — great addition Bungie!).
I wish I could say this didn’t surprise me, but really it does.
Playboy, IGN and Eidos Sell Out Women
The Woman Game Developer’s list is pretty peeved about this, but then again, it’s not like IGN, Eidos, or Playboy really cares about what women developers or women gamers think anyway. I’m sure this PR stunt will help sell Kane and Lynch and to hell with everything else, huh?
Exploitation of women to sell games… Not like that’s anything new, but I did expect more from IGN. This is really over the line.
