OMG! Farmville Groceries are REAL!

Now let's think about this! Any of you who play Farmville... where you spend hours and hours growing your own virtual fruits and veggies. I just found out that now you can buy your very own FarmVille brand junkfood at 7-11! Where have I been? Not playing FarmVille I guess... Don't look at me! I just get paid to write about these games... not to play them :P And the iPad games are kinda the "in thing" right now so I have been sadly neglecting my Facebook play time.

But ya know... Nuthin says "fresh and healthy" quite like a good junk food spree at 7-11! Especially when an in-game swimming pool might be included with your snack purchase ... if you're lucky ;) I guess that's one way to work off those junk food calories... Taking a dip in your very own FarmVille pool!

God of War 3's Topless Maidens

If you were worried that ''God of War III'' could not be counted on for its series usual blend of sex and violence, never fear! The game has been rated Mature by the ESRB and in its typical warnings has detailed a thoroughly amazing game as well as its traditional "sex minigame." Here is a description of the "topless maiden" scene courtesy of the folks at the ESRB.

"The game contains a sex mini-game. Players will encounter a goddess and her two hand maidens, all topless, all holding and caressing each other. If players wish to, they may join the goddess (and only the
goddess) in bed. Actual sex is never depicted as the camera drifts, then fixes on the two maidens, who watch from a distance. As players respond to the on-screen prompts with button presses, the topless maidens will continue to watch, and sometimes caress. Moaning sounds from the bed can be heard throughout the sequence."

The Activision Blizzard 2009 Fourth Quarter Earnings Conference Call on February 10, 2009 revealed exciting information regarding the new ''Cataclysm'' expansion for the highly popular ''World of
