Must See HDTV (May 14th – 20th)
This week we're completely overrun by season finales -- if there's a winter show that you watch that is still airing, it's a safe bet that it will be wrapping up its run this week. Check after the break break for the dates and times on those as well as NBA and NHL playoffs action plus Blu-ray and videogame releases (we couldn't ignore Diablo 3), but there's just one finale we're highlighting this week.

Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is confused and scared
Roughly two and a half weeks ago, at the behest of the Joystiq Qrew and my family, I ceased all consumption of soda-pop and fast-food. The change has been dramatic, to say the least, and while I feel less "full of goo" than I once did, I fear that I also may be changing into someone, or something, that I'm not comfortable with.Earlier this week, for instance, I purchased blueberry-flavored Pop Tarts while grocery shopping, when I just as easily ...

Play as both Robin and Batman in Harley Quinn’s Revenge
The Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC coming to Batman: Arkham City has been detailed, and it sounds like a departure from the game. Instead of an open-world affair, the DLC is story driven, initially placing you in Robin's boots and tasking you with finding Batman, who's been lost chasing Harley Quinn after the final events of the main game. The story time-shifts, explaining where Batman is and what he's been up to by switching viewpoints a few times....

Wedbush thinks Grand Theft Auto 5 will launch in October
With this morning's announcement that BioShock Infinite will now launch in February 2013, publisher Take-Two Interactive altered more than a game's launch date. Take-Two is a publicly traded company, and one fewer gigantic product launch during the holiday season – arguably Take-Two's only holiday product launch, unless you count fall launches of Borderlands 2 and XCOM: Enemy Unknown as "holiday" – means that shareholders will want to know what's up. That ...

German court tells Microsoft to stop selling Xbox 360s
A German court in Mannheim ruled earlier this morning that Microsoft has actually infringed upon Motorola Mobility’s patents, and hence have requested Microsoft to stp selling their hugely popular Xbox 360 gaming consoles as well as Windows 7 operating system from the German market. Considering how Germany has one of the strongest economies in the whole of Europe, this sales ban will definitely cast a heavy pall upon Microsoft executives. The Redmond company claims that this particular ruling means otherwise – ...

OMGWHAT? GREE Acquires Mobile-Social Game Developer Funzio For $210M
Japanese gaming giant GREE just acquired mid-core, mobile game developer Funzio for $210 million in what should boost its ability to build games for Western audiences. Funzio is behind Crime City, Modern War and Kingdom Age, which are graphical RPGs that have had good runs on Apple’s iOS, Android or Facebook platforms. I had heard a few weeks back that Funzio was in a fundraising process at a $350 million post-money valuation and had also been loosely talking to various buyers in an auction-style process. Apparently, the ...
