Trish got up at 3 a.m. today to drive into Denver so she could run a half marathon. I, on the other hand, played InFamous until 1 a.m. and then struggled to get up at 7:30 a.m. so I could feed Tristan pastries and cut the grass.

In my defense I did go on a four mile, 1,000 foot incline hike in the mountains this afternoon. Yeah, Trish went too, after her race. I suck.

APB Devs Working On Another Game?

So that headline's probably stating the obvious. I would imagine there are lots of studios working on something besides what they've already announced.

But with Realtime Worlds well into development of APB, and the original Crackdown under their belt you can't help but wonder, are they hard at work on Crackdown 2?

Meet The Spy, Doing Your Mom

What kind of master spy leaks Valve's Meet the Spy video onto the internet in the middle of the night? The same kind that has sexual relations with the Scout's mom.This is exactly what happens when you'[re all sneaky. Someone goes and sneaks right back, uploading your introduction video all over the internet. Perhaps this is payback for the Spy taking over the Team Fortress 2 Sniper update halfway though? Either way, the video does feature the best line appearing in anything, ever.

While this means games, it also means showing off some of the PS3's other, more unique abilities like media streaming, PSP linking and Blu-ray playing.

'Cross-Play' FPS The Crossing Officially Put on Hold

Remember The Crossing, the first-person shooter in development at Arkane Studios in conjunction with Valve that would combine a single-player experience with multiplayer mechanics? We wouldn't be surprised if you didn't, considering there haven't been any updates on the game since 2007 -- and now, the first bit of news we've gotten on the game since then is unfortunately bad news...
