Jaws, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, are all movie series that Spielberg has his reputation attached to. So, maybe AI, and War Of The Worlds, weren't the greatest movies, but hey nobody's perfect. With Boom Blox, Spielberg stakes his reputation on a physics based puzzle video game developed and published by EA. As the reviews keep pouring in, it looks like he did alright by slapping his name on this title.

We know what you're thinking: the Wii needs another minigame compilation!The latest in the line of "party video games" is Party Crashers, which has a crash test dummy theme to it. Specifically, the video game was inspired by Twelve Interactive's Cid the Dummy -- a multiplatform video game that's not even out yet. Even worse, many of the video games will have to be unlocked, and if you've ever played a party video game with a "feature" like that before, we're sure you know how annoying it is.
There'll be twenty-five minigames available in this title, which will range from puzzles to music-based video games. To get an idea of what these will entail, some of the activities include "Pie in the Face," "Chinese Plates," "Dummy Cannonball," "Pizza Delivery," "Treasure Island," and "Dummy Dance." You won't be able to play such tantalizing-sounding minis until next April, though, since that's the planned release month.
Even though we're labeling this as do not want, we're glad we had an excuse to listen to the Crash Test Dummies' "MMM MMM MMM MMM." We always find a silver lining!

Okay, now this bit on Glenn Beck's show revolves around that GTA IV video game, but he does manage to say something relevant to us (and, in turn, you all reading this). He thinks video game blogs are a waste of time and their bloggers are "losers," citing that he could care less about videogames overall, even though he has a pretty lengthy segment on his show about them (we imagine he's had other gaming-related topics on his show, but we steer clear of shows with hosts on power trips). We can only imagine what this implies about you, the reader, who spends their time keeping current on the industry news with us.
It honestly cracks us up, because not only is he calling us losers and pretty much saying videogames aren't worth his effort, but he's being such a toolbox as to say his supposed opinions during a videogame segment on his show. You tell us what is worse, fine readers: a person who blogs about something they're passionate about, or a guy on TV who talks about what his producers say are the day's hot topics and blatantly shows no regard for the subject matter?
