The Writers Guild of America
has announced that CBS news writers, graphic artists, and other staff who work for the network's television and radio news operations have voted by a wide margin to strike against their employer. 81% of the 300 ballots cast in a special election last week backed a labor stoppage. They have worked without a contract for the past 2½ years.
The union will meet with CBS after Thanksgiving to discuss the issues at hand and decide the course of action they will take. At this time a strike isn't inevitable, but the employees covered by the WGA could technically strike at any time.

A few months back EB Games' website accidentally
leaked information about an arcade stick for the Xbox 360. Due to some production hiccups we should finally have the Arcade GameStick next month. The joystick will include Xbox Live Arcade games
Frogger,
Time Pilot and
Astropop. The joystick includes all the buttons found on the Xbox 360 controller, including the rumble feature and it can connect through USB to a PC. The MSRP is $49.99 USD.
It's about time this thing comes out. Playing a lot of the classic games on Xbox Live feels horribly awkward because the games were designed in a time pre-thumbsticks -- five minutes with
Street Fighter II makes that abundantly clear. Now as long as the thing is made well and we can bang our joystick around like in the good old days without it snapping off, we'll be quite happy -- 'cause nobody likes to see their joystick snap off.

Microsoft is aware that Nintendo is the company that "puts more smiles on more faces," so it doesn't bother trying to compete on the happy front. Instead, the company wants to invade your nightmares, filling them with hollowed out heads and disembodied mouth creatures. The company's newest creative torment is for the iNiS developed Xbox 360 singing game Lips, in which a man is haunted by a stalking pair of sentient, lyric-forgetting lips. The mouth beast travels across harsh terrain and unfavorable weather conditions to force the man to do his bidding - to sing A-Ha's "Take On Me" for the sadistic ambling maw's delight. The horror....

"It's a big, big show for you guys this week -- you might even call it massive... get it? Good. That's where we start. I talk with other Mass Effect players Bryan Intihar, Jennifer Tsao, and Mike Nelson; we all agree that it's a great game, but HOW great is still up for thorough nit-picking."
"Our own Ryan O'Donnell is a big fan of the polarizing medieval parkour game Assassin's Creed. He gathered the reviewers on this one: Crispin Boyer, Michael Donahoe, and Andrew 'Skip' Pfister to discuss the finer points of Altier's controversial adventure."
