I recently experienced the PS3 owner’s worst nightmare. The dreaded YLOD (Yellow Light Of Death, similar to better known Red Ring of Death). I was playing Operation Flashpoint with a friend, when all of a sudden, the PS3 shut off. I went to restart it, and saw the flashing yellow light, followed by the red. The PS3 would not restart.
I immediately went to the web to see what the error was (I had not yet heard of the YLOD). I saw there were lots of people who ran into this issue, b...

Great games have some basic components to them. Good storyline, interesting characters, solid controls, and fun gameplay that doesn’t get boring in the hours required to complete the game. Dark Void has some of these components, but lacks in others.

Avatar: The Last Airbender
No this is not a sequel to James Cameron's hit with all the blue kittehs. This is the live action movie of that hit Japanese anime. I never really actually saw an entire episode of it, just bits and pieces, but it looks pretty interesting. Plus I'm into anime and all that jazz and after seeing this trailer, I think I might watch this.
This video is the first new footage of M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender.
