The deal on the marketplace this week is Brain Challenge.  Normally 800 points, you can grab this for 400 this week.

Many of us are hoping that the Gears of War movie will make that game-movie exception and actually be worth watching.  Casting is obviously a huge aspect to the quality of the movie, and you simply can’t deny that over the past couple years you and your friends have had the “who would play…” discussion for this title.

Through these discussions you’ve brought up names like, Bruce Willis, Sean Penn, or maybe even Clive Owen to play Marcus Fenix. How many had Dwayne Johnson cross their minds?

Chris Morgan, wrapping up the script for the Gears of War movie says he’d like to see The Rock play Marcus Fenix.  Going on to say he can “play the tough guy, but he can also play the nuanced, sensitive funny sad moments as well.”

To be honest, The Rock has left a bitter taste in my mouth after watching DOOM.

Achievements whores will be happy to hear the flagship Primetime event coming soon, 1 vs 100 will feature seasonal achievements.  The game of course will be in 13 week seasons, each season allowing you to net up to 200 points.

With another 200 points to rack up, it will sure be enticing to keep coming back every season.  Best part, the game will most likely be free to Gold members anyway.

Shawn Baxter will be on the Bionic Commando multiplayer demo, and is taking friend requests at “Snow Infernus.”  Hop on the demo at 6/7PM CST and get him on your friends list for a party invite.
