[_Desperate Houswives: The Game._](http://www.gamespot.com/pc/adventure/desperatehousewives/screenindex.html) I’m pretty sure it’ll earn its production costs back, at the very least.

Glad to see bribary, corruption, and an impartial press is allive and well 🙂

I was a big fan of Lego Starwars I, so looking forward to Lego SW II. Any sign of something that will really show off the XBOX 2, it doesn’t seem to have any titles that really stand out from stuff available on XBOX 1 or PC.

Nokia spending good, useful money on an n-gage booth. I mean, come ON Nokia! You KNOW it’s over by now. Why bother pretending you still have a shot at this?  
The odds of the n-gage being a hit are the same as the odds of me becoming a mexican soap opera star : doubleplusungood.  
The Gizmondo was nowhere to be seen of course.
