The Couch Potato's Goodbye
By Roberto Urrea | Sports Editor
My fellow dedicated readers I am here to say my goodbye and to reminisce about a great year. I had the chance to write to you about many topics from Guitar Hero, the Super Bowl and I even shared my Christmas wish list. In addition, all of you found out that I have a scary obsession with Megan Fox because, come on... she is a hottie.

But even if you have not been on the receiving end of a blue shell before, the extensive multiplayer options, deeply integrated online functionality, multitude of controller schemes available and simple game play make this latest Mario Kart great fun and quite possibly the most accessible one ever, only after three days.
