X-Play host Morgan Webb loves both games and bargains, so she's carefully scoured the retail landscape to bring back word of the best Black Friday Deals in the entire Universe (offers void on SETi-12). So before you hit the mall on Black Friday, hit "Play" on the video below.
For more holiday buying awesomeness, check out X-Play's metric crap-ton of Holiday Buyers' Guide videos!
Oh, kids...oh, KIDS! You know, lots of places will give you a buyer's guide for the holiday season, but how many of them will go to the trouble of making it last a month long? Only one mighty Buyers Guide has that muscle, and that throbbing muscle belongs to Attack of the Show.
Check it out all month long, as Kevin Pereira, Olivia Munn, Chris Hardwick, and the AOTS staff run down the best gadgets for your friends and family, or help you create the list you're going to give to others to buy for you. We've started with some pretty rad Black Friday deals, and you should take a look at them, and continue to return all month for your comprehensive guide to all that's cool.
You're welcome.
We hope that your Thanksgiving will be filled with happiness and tons of laughter. In case it isn't, we've got your laughter emergency kit right here. These videos featuring snowmobile wheelies, amorous dogs and puppets with shame issues should get you through the next few days.

With stereo speakers and 120HZ refresh rate, Best Buy's Insignia 42" LCD TV could be the best Black Friday deal yet at $699. Find out from Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn if this LCD is worth the wait in line. Hope you've got some extra duckets.
Check out the full Attack of the Show review after the cut.
With Black Friday lingering and just a small handful of games left in 2009, it’s high time to take a refresher course in some of this year’s biggest and best reviews. I’ve broken down most of our most illustrious verdicts, platform by platform, to pick out some samplings of read (and watch) worthy material. On Tuesday, I focused on handheld and PC highlights from 2009. Yesterday, I lasered in on the best multiplatform and downloadable games. And, because you need something to do either before eating turkey or before camping out in the freezing cold for a $200 game console and free games (I've been watching those Black Friday specials too, y'know), today brings the best reviews across platform exclusives. Also, please feel free to send me links of awesome Flip cam videos of people fighting over sale items.
Put on your reading glasses; without further ado, here’s the grand finale of G4’s The Reviews of 2009...In Review!
PlayStation 3
The days of Lair and Haze are long behind the PlayStation 3. The PS3 has seen a strong year of console exclusives in 2009, including a visually gorgeous first-person shooter, a masterfully-crafted open world encounter, and the maturation of a rugged explorer. Oh, and some Japanese game where you die a lot. Here’s a sampling of some of PS3 titles from this year:
)
Killzone 2 - 5/5
“Do you like shooters? Do you hate things with red eyes? Have you posted in forums every day for the past month about how Killzone 2 was forged on the peak of Mount Olympus by the hand of Zeus himself? If your answer to any of these questions is even remotely affirmative, we suggest you play this game.”
)
inFamous - 5/5
“Open-world sandbox games have a depressing tendency to stick to the mundane. For all the over-the-top violence and mayhem of games like Grand Theft Auto and Saints Row, you’re still just a guy or girl with a gun. Outside of the occasional licensed game, few sandboxers dare to tackle the idea of superpowers, and those that have tend to be disappointments, with the notable exception of Crackdown. It’s time to expand that exceptions list by one, thanks to Sucker Punch’s exceptional inFamous.”
wow TomHoang and Plasma_Cake you two are that retarded I would only buy 2 out of the 5 games that is on the PS3, where I have a choice to buy at least 6 games to 13 on the Wii. fanboys you are so arrogant.

Both are perfect oppertunities to take a moment and watch this week's MMO Report. Today Casey will give you the dates for Star Trek Online's open beta, tell you about a Zombie MMO, and brings back WTF Second Life just for the holiday weekend. That's something to be thankful for.

If anyone finds Second Life to be difficult, they should check themselves into the \"I'm a Giant Moron Hospital\". I think its in Utah.

Some choose to spend Thanksgiving Day enjoying a Norman Rockwell-esque down-home dinner with turkey, stuffing and all the fixings, and some would rather share an old bologna sandwich with a stray dog-- hey, whatever makes you happy. But either way, today is a big day for eating and/or gathering with loved ones. But is it a big day for gaming?
For me, it is. After parades on TV, a huge dinner and various football games are finished, my friends and family are playing games. Today, we'll be playing The Beatles: Rock Band with family after we eat pie, and we might even dust off the Wii for a little Wii Sports.
What about you? Are you gaming this Turkey-Day? Or is the console off limits until the day of family togetherness mercifully ends?
Supercross master Ricky Carmichael urges you to "sit down, slide up, put your leg out, slide up on the bike and just lean it over." He says so himself in the brand new MX Vs. ATV Reflex video you see below.
Not many people know this about Carmichael, but along with SuperCross, he grows prize winning San Maranzo tomato plants. (Not really.) You'll be able to play MX Vs. ATV Reflex early in 2010 on the Nintendo DS, PlayStation 3, PSP and 360.
Remember the Rickey Charmicael game for the Dreamcast? Or are you trying to forget? It has to be in the top 10 worst games ever!

Clearly, the only thing to do was use Madden NFL 2010 to determine which teams will emerge victorious today. Please do not use the results in any gambling or gambling related activities. Watch the video and go ahead and leave your predictions in the comments section.
(Go Giants!)
nice job on the green bay game

Welcome to Morning Hangover -- an excellent way to start your day with the crew at TheFeed...no matter what you're recovering from. Every morning you'll hear musings from our editors and have the chance to share your thoughts on what's going on in the gaming world.
Thanksgiving is upon us, and while I’m sure you’re busy either hanging out with your families or avoiding them to get in a few rounds of Modern Warfare 2 before someone notices you’ve slipped away, but we know that even today you might have things on your mind worthy of sharing with your fellow readers. Of course, we’d like to keep things topical, so today we’re looking for Thanksgiving Day gaming stories, specifically how you balance playing games and dealing with family on ye old Turkey Day.
Our own Sterling McGarvey told us a fantastic and harrowing story about a Thanksgiving during college, when he was the only person left on his dorm room floor, and he kept jumping between playing Resident Evil 2 and preparing a Thanksgiving Day meal for one. Honestly, if the image of Sterling running between zombie slaying and turkey basting isn’t bringing a big geeky smile to your face right now, you have problems.
So let us know how your Thanksgiving Day is going, and how the gaming/family balance is treating you. And if you’ve decided to put gaming aside for just today, then we understand. Just don’t make it a habit, ok?
TheFeed gang wants your thoughts on gaming, tech, zombie turduckens, and more. Let everyone know what you're thinking and chat it up with your fellow readers. Leave comments on anything and everything that's on your (gaming/tech/nerd) mind!
Must play mw2 but food is gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooood and games are so far away:(

Eric Eckstein, Director of Gaming Editorial -- G4tv.com
I am thankful for the rise of cooperative gaming, because without it, I would probably be writing this surrounded by my cats. I learned long ago that adversarial gaming with loved ones leads to no good and inviting friends over to watch me play Dragon Age: Origins just doesn’t have the same appeal as getting together for Halo 3: ODST. So now, thanks to clever game developers everywhere, there’s more compelling cooperative gaming than I can shake a joystick at; what a wonderful world!
Morgan Webb, Host -- X-Play
I'm thankful January is going to be as big for games as the holiday season. May the summer drought never come!
Andrew Pfister, Senior Games Editor -- G4tv.com
After what has unequivocally been the most difficult and challenging year of my life, I am thankful that I landed in Los Angeles with a job at G4 and have had the opportunity to enrich my life with new friends. The invisible bond that forms just by sharing a hobby with someone can put you on the most interesting paths in life, and when times are less than stellar, it's those people that are there to get you through it, hang out, and throw you into Piranha Plants. Also, I am thankful for beer.
I'm thankful I have a brain and will be in bed on Black Friday.

Leave a Comment »As many of us head to the airport, headphones firmly in place (with a DS in a pocket, naturally), for this week's round of holiday travel, take solace in knowing this: there's another edition of Feedback to keep you company this week. Whether you're starting to plot out gifts for the rest of the holiday season or contemplating an impulse-buy during the slew of Black Friday sales, Adam Sessler, myself, Abbie Heppe and Dana Vinson gathered earlier this week to discuss the best of the best from 2009!
Here's what the crew talked about on this week's Feedback:
Feedback, suggesting violent games for the holidays since...well, ever. Bring joy and subscribe:
while i am not yet 17, i still got my dad to get me a lot of M rated games this holiday season. I convinced him to get me Dragon Age, Modern Warfare 2, and Assassin's Creed 2. When he was pre-ordering these, he made me show him the trailers and videos for them, so he understood what they were going to be about. Obviously, Dragon Age took a bit of explaining, but he still went ahead and got it. I think that maybe you guys are not giving us kids, even though I'm in high school, enough credit....

We're kind of squandering this elemental force by only using it to show you videos of talking kitties, clever robbers, bored numbskulls and Muppet rockers, but oh well. We're entertainers.

Lord of the Rings director, Peter Jackson has given some insight into a few nagging issue regarding the upcoming two-part epic, The Hobbit.
Peter Jackson was in London Tuesday night for the Royal gala premiere for The Lovely Bones. The film, (whose official release is on January 15, 2010) is based on the hugely popular Alice Sebold novel about a murdered teenage girl whose spirit remains as she watches her family deal with the aftermath of her death and a possible reckoning with her own killer. However, don't be so quick to bring the Kleenex just yet. It's actually kind of like Bill Cosby's Ghost Dad meets Steven Seagal's Hard to Kill. "Lovely Bones" (which is what we shall call her instead of character name, Susie) is back from the dead and taking the law into her own hands! No more school, no more tests, this time she's only out to blow s**t UP!!
...Okay, maybe that wasn't an accurate description of the film. (Although a movie with "Lovely Bones" decimating and entire army of Columbian drug-lords with a minigun would be one that I'd go see.) Getting back to what's germane, Jackson was able to field some Hobbit-related questions at the London premiere gala. As a result, we've learned a few things.
1. The Hobbit will NOT be filmed in 3-D.
This was very old rumor that seemed to show its face in Hobbit news time and time again. After much speculation, Peter Jackson squelched the idea definitively when he stated:
"The Hobbit will not be filmed in 3D, despite the current vogue for the technology in the movie industry." Adding. "Guillermo wants to shoot in 35mm, old-fashioned film, which suits me, because he wants to keep it in the same space as the original trilogy".
Jackson, in stating his own views on the current resurgence of 3-D adds that it "only adds to the experience." Further adding: "The only thing I get annoyed about is the image being a little dull. It does feel like you're looking at the movie with sunglasses on. But literally, that could just be about getting brighter bulbs in the projectors."
2. The style of the films will be consistent with LOTR.
