So long EGM, we'll miss you, kind of...

Well its not like I read it every month...

1UP Sold To Hearst Corporation, EGM To Close [Update]

And you should all remember the closing of Games for Windows Magazine (Computer Gaming World) earlier this year.

Please note: an end of year story is in the works. It would be going better if every single one of the FOUR admins hadn't missed their deadlines!!!!!! Anyway, until then here are December's Top Picks...

Only five pages for December. Christmas definitely slowed things down.

Top December Stories by Read count:

• 198 reads - Fallout 3
• 153 reads - Zoey: the truth is out there
• 141 reads - Gone Gold!

  All three stories with well over 100 reads including one that almost broke 200 (I may have pushed it over writing this article). Aku on Fallout 3, the real life model of Left 4 Dead’s Zoey, and something about someone writing something... who knows, I didn't read it.

While preparing a separate story I discovered a couple of interesting earlier links...

...although he was probably playing Lego Guitar Hero.

If they end up creating Lego Guitar Hero, he'll be in Nirvana (heh heh, at least the Lego version ... get it? ... nevermind).

What makes this extremely entertaining is the story that broke last week.

Yes, Lego Rock Band. Of course, I have no idea if this is amazing or sad. But it will be one or the other.

In the spirit of Guitar Hero and Rock band, I would like to share a video of a truly amazing guitarist, Prince.

You heard me. It's a little known fact that Prince can play the guitar with the best of them.

Skip to about 3:30 to see Prince's solo. Try doing that with a 5 button guitar. Read more

The Bargain Whore is back by popular demand! Since you asked for it (and if you didn't, shut up and post something already), here is the best deal going for Xbox Live subs (in Canada) right now: Amazon.ca 12+1 months for $47.99.

If anyone is interested in getting Castle Crashers for XBox arcade then let me know. I am searching for a good Xbox live game (that isn't too expensive), and this way I would get it instantly instead of having to ship it or go to a store.

I think it would be a great multiplayer game. If anyone here has ever played Double Dragon, TMNT, streets of rage, etc, then I think you would enjoy this game.

Yes, there have been serious problems with this game (users had trouble connecting on Xbox live), but this recently has been fixed.
