Lastly, as most of you have probably noticed we have little game rating bars now on

game specific news items. What you may not realize though is that you are now allowed to

change your 'hype' level for a game once per week. So if the initial video kicks ass and

then you see that trailer that shows actual gameplay sucks ass you can rate the game as

such. This thing will be fun, really. So make sure to update your hype on

games when you see new info! We'll have the overhauled game library and tracking systems

to you as soon as we can.
