As they do every year, Electronic Arts ran a simulation of the Superbowl between the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers in an attempt to predict the Superbowl. The Steelers won in their simulation. The funny thing is that the simulation is usually correct except for last year when the Giants won. The score of the simulation game was 28-24, a close game. We’ll see if its right or there is another upset. After the jump, the predictions and results of the last few Superbowls.
CONFIRMED: Steelers win Superbowl XLIII

Way before Grand Theft Auto 4 was even out, details about 2 expansions exclusively for Xbox 360 were already buzzing around the internet. Eventually, it was uncovered that Microsoft had to pay a hefty 50 million dollar price tag for the exclusivity of the expansions. The game was released, received rave reviews, and made insane amounts of cash, but details about the expansions remained scarce…until now! It turns out the expansions were much closer than anyone thought, in fact the first will be hitting next month, February 17th, for 1600 MS Points which is $20.
Some have received early previews of the expansion and they say it features about 10-20 hours of extra gameplay, new weapons, new missions, new music, and a biker gang? Not sure about the last one, but it seems like a good value if it ends up actually giving 20 hours of gameplay. Some sad news is that there will be no area additions to Liberty City, only new buildings. Here are some links to previews of the expansion and be sure to check back here for a review of the expansion when it actually hits the marketplace.

Earlier today, Valve released a new patch for the PC version of Left 4 Dead. If you play this game as much I do, then you know there were some issues that had to be fixed. Well, put those thoughts to rest because the patch addresses most of the issues, glitches and bugs that previously plagued this game. *cough* Smoker *cough* However, it still didn’t fix the fast melee exploit or unlock Dead Air and Death Toll for play in Versus mode.

Nielsen is now reporting for the months January-October of 2008, the Playstation 2 was the most played console. It took 31.7% of the minutes followed by the Xbox 360 with 17.2%. That is a pretty hefty gap, especially for a 8+ year-old console. Given that there are more Playstation 2’s around than Americans, it makes sense but still impressive. Sony seems to fair a little less well with the Playstation 3 which was behind the original Xbox and only ahead of the Nintendo Gamecube. The question still remains, when will a console dethrone the Playstation 2. I’d say that within the next year or so, the Nintendo Wii definitely will, but will it have the staying power of 8+ years that the Playstation 2 had? The entire list after the break:
