These hatreds are human nature. Realizing you need someone who doesn't need you back is a feeling more shameful than walking in on your parents doing all the mortal sins at the same time in your bedroom. But maybe, if for only a second, Art Garfunkel realized Paul Simon needed him as well and Mark Hoppus realized Tom Delonge needed him as well, Axl Rose wouldn't waste decades without Slash

Having reached the end of her journey this past Wednesday February 11th, let us take a moment to thank Estelle Bennett for taking part in a group that significantly influenced modern pop-music and fashion. At the age of 67, she's gone all too soon, but her legacy will surely live on.

Following Chris Brown's assault on Rihanna, the immediate question on the media's mind was, "How is he going to bounce back?" Rumors began flying to justify that this was somehow Rihanna's fault, with people going as far as saying, "She had it coming to her." Are you fucking kidding me?

Here's the deal: Setty Smooth is, as far as I have seen, the smoothest hip-hop artist, and probably the smoothest man, in the entire world. I don't mean pretentious, Hollywood smooth -- I mean subliminally, superhumanly smooth. Like Casanova, or Timberlake

Lacking the credibility, pomp and circumstance of the Oscar's or even the Emmy's, the Grammy Awards are the most meaningful in a long list of meaningless music award shows. The winners are rarely the best or even most culturally relevant, but there's something to be said for the absolute chaos

Pearl Jam is a lot like AC/DC. They're revered by some, enjoyed by most, and vehemently disliked by others. At this point in their career, they've put out enough material in roughly the same basic format (heavy guitar/ inaudible, cryptic lyrics) that you probably know already whether you'll purchase this compact disc

The liner notes of I Think We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat may attempt to sell the listener a cheap mythology of "a loose-limbed jamming unit" that recorded from the 1970s to the mid-nineties, but there's no ignoring what this really is—Norman Cook's own version of Timbaland's Shock Value

Just as we calmed down about will.i.am's Pepsi-supported destruction of Bob Dylan's legacy, Bruce Springsteen stormed into our living rooms to shout about dropping chicken fingers and guacamole. All was forgiven when he launched into "10th Avenue Freeze Out", much to the delight of the audience

We're less than a week away from the Super Bowl. Can you feel the excitement, the enthusiasm, the wind howling from millions of Terrible Towels menacingly flying in unison? I'm a Bears fan; so, no, no I cannot. But I'll still watch. It is, after all, the foremost television event of the year. Hilarious commercials, Bruce Springsteen, and Kurt Warner's aging body

You won't convince me that the only heroin songs out there are the obvious ones. It's almost guaranteed that somewhere, some good-guy songwriter is kicking back, having pulled off such a well-disguised smack anthem that no one even noticed it. My mission is to uncover some of these sneaky writers

There's some wretched stuff going down on this little planet we call Earth, and I can't help but feel like we're all running around like a bunch of crazed Princess Leias. "Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope," we utter in unison. But the identity of our metaphoric Obi Wan isn't necessarily clear. Is it Barack Obama? Is it ourselves?

Finishing the game and getting the code out there for manufacturing purposes means that the game has gone gold. And Halo Wars has gone gold. With this startling news comes a few screenshots of the demo that will be available on Xbox Live.

There was a time when killing another player in a RPG online universe was considered a cardinal sin. It was punishable by bans, GM admonishments, and all other sorts of nasty results.

Next Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals will face off in Tampa Bay to determine who will reign supreme over the National Football League. Those of you placing bets might be interested to know that EA Sports just ran an official simulation of the game with Madden NFL 09 .

At first there was this Desperation trailer for the Chronicles of Riddick. It was fine and dandy and featured all kinds of dark and cool things. But then it was revealed that there was more than just one trailer that we thought gamers might want to take a look at, so here they all are.

In the upcoming MMORPG by IGG, 2029 Online , players are thrust into a world that is filled with a robust artistic look and encompasses many diverse cultures. Mainly it's because the planet Earth was destroyed during a nuclear holocaust. Nice.

At this year's Game Developers Conference, BioWare will be holding a seminar entitled "The Iterative Level Design Process of Bioware's Mass Effect 2 ." Despite the fact that Mass Effect 2 is mentioned in the title, don't expect any actual information on Mass Effect 2

Skateboarding game Skate 2 has a lot of content you can unlock by progressing in the game but if you're not big on challenges, EA's got your back. They've released a new "Time Is Money" DLC pack for both the PS3 and Xbox 360 which does all the work for you.

Time and time again, mobile or casual games studios are first on the chopping block when it comes to "refinancing" and Eidos was no exception. They just shut Rockpool Games down
