"Why don't I like Fallout 3? I just am not getting into it. I'm about 4 hours in and I'm supposed to be looking for a radio station. I am taking my time, doing some exploring and really trying to enjoy it. While I'm playing though, all I can think about is wanting to play something else."

Heads Up — 9/11
WORDS BY: Meghan Watt
Welcome back to our weekly online column, Heads Up. If you’ve ever searched around the internet looking for a current report on everything the Xbox 360 has to offer, you’ve no doubt hit numerous dead-ends. Heads Up attempts to alleviate your frustrations by offering a quick and complete guide to what you may have missed over the past week, online and in stores.
This week it’s all about brute force. But whether that includes hockey sticks, fists of steel, dropkicks, or rocket-powered bowling balls is up to you. Meanwhile, a New England band joins the Rock Band crew with three fast-paced metal songs and Halloween gets an early start with some unrated horror movies.
JEWEL OF THE WEEK:
NHL 09
The NHL series never ceases to impress, but this edition takes the cake. Create your own superstar and take him from zero to hero in Be a Pro mode or play as a team in classic NHL fashion. With improved thumbstick controls, vamped graphics, tighter commentary, and more, this hit sweeps the ice as Editor’s Choice.

Anyway...there's no doubt in my mind that NHL '09 is not just the best HOCKEY game I've ever played...it's the best SPORTS game I've ever played. Period.
My wish has finally been fulfilled...I can die a happy man now.
NHL '09 is pure Hockey bliss.
Now if only I could get an updated version of Baseball Stars or Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball on XBLA.

If you let everything on this day be dictated by what happened 7 years ago, havent you let the terrorist win? You cant let the tragedy control your life, even for one day. Thats what they would have wanted.

As a New Yorker who saw the tragedies on 9/11, I find it very inappropriate for you to name this article 'Heads Up - 9/11'. My gosh, show some respect. At least make this article tomorrow to keep it from looking tacky. Sheesh, OXM.
