SHR! is heading to Blizzcon
So, I’m in flight to LA, enjoying the cramped quarters and in-flight WiFi, and I realized that I neglected to remind everyone we will be live at Blizzcon this Friday and Saturday. What does that mean for you, dear SHR! reader? Well, initially, not a whole hella lot, since I don’t have a press pass [...]
Review: TRIALS:HD (XBLA)
Dirt bike physics games have been around the internet for years now, like this one for example. If you’ve played them and enjoy them, then you can stop reading this review right now, and fork out the 1200 MS points immediately for Trials: HD. For the rest of you who need a bit more details [...]

Complaint Filed: DLC
Adding to LocoOnTheSoco’s complaint on Madden 10′s rediculous DLC options, I decided to bust through the cobwebs of my posting history and bust a fat-ass anger nut on DLC in general, particularly on Microsoft’s greedy part, and worse still, YOU, for buying this crap! More crazy ranting after the break!

Get Guitar Hero:VH Free With Guitar Hero 5 Purchase
Wow, this is a bit of a surprise. You’re reading this correctly. Buy GH5 in September, and get a sendaway for a free, yes free copy of GH: Van Halen. Pretty tough to beat that. Will this make want of GH5 a bit more appealing? Sounds like this is only available in the U.S. however. [...]
Complaint Filed: EA Going Overboard With DLC Bull$#%@
EA is at it again. This years’ Madden will have you emptying your wallet worse than any game previous.

A preview of the upcoming South Park: Let’s Go Tower Defense Play on XBLA, out October 7th. Looks like a pretty decent multiplayer game filled with sound clips from all seasons. Anyone plan on picking this one up?
Map Pack 3 Comes With Double XP
You see what I did there? Yeah, I’m a poet. Anyhoo, co-inciding with today’s Map Pack 3 release is an ENTIRE WEEK OF DOUBLE XP. Yes, 7 full days of moving up the Call Of Duty dork ladder. Happy prestiging! On a side note: My WaW disc is fried and I will not get to [...]
