Are You Checking Out Gamer This Weekend?
I'm all about taking time out to watch a good flick over a holiday weekend, and this weekend the geeks can look forward to at least one move that's aimed at them: Gamer. Now, I'm a big fan of games, and have even been known to watch a few shows about gamers, but this action movie reminds me of a few other ones that weren't so great. Remember Death Race — a movie that pits death row inmates against each other in a race to see who gets set free?
SciFi Brings Gaming To Reality Television
There's a new reality show in town, but this one doesn't deal with breakups, relationships, or jobs in the fashion industry. It's all about gamers.

Can you spout off gaming stats like a baseball fanatic? Do you know the best selling game of last year, or the most popular console of all time? If not, then you may want to pick up your own copy of the 2009 Guinness Book of World Records Gamer's Edition and keep up with gaming trivia.
Girl Gamer Mag: Educational or Downright Disturbing?
After seeing the The Girl's Guide to Gaming Handbook, I was totally prepared when I saw this Girl Gamer mag by Nintendo. The pink title, the pink DS Lite, pink lipstick, it's all starting to look the same! I can't wait to get my hands on a copy so I can examine the goods, and see if it actually has some substance underneath its pastel pink cover (although I must admit, its not half as bad as the Gaming Handbook).

Be a Good Gamer — Send Your Games to Troops in Iraq
Now this is something I can totally get behind: the guys over at Cheap Ass Gamer have started a game drive for our troops in Iraq. I can imagine on top of the scorching heat that the distance from family and what's familiar can really make our troop's experience unbearable.
So why not help bring the comforts of home to them by sending over some of those games that are just sitting on your shelves?
Not Everyone's Convinced About Wii Fit
I get it. I get it. Not everyone is as excited about exergaming or the newly announced Wii Fit board as FitSugar and me.
Are You Surprised That 35 Is the Average Age of a Gamer?
Age ain't nothin' but a number: a recent study has some surprising news about the facts and ages of gamers — specifically, that the average age of a gamer is 35.
The study also found that gamers are typically heavier and less healthy, which is not a huge surprise, but a disappointing affirmation of a stereotype that I often defend.
I know that casual gaming is hot for seniors, but I'm a bit surprised to hear that the average age is 35.
