Gaming This Weekend 4.13.07

Boom Boom Rocket
As far as new blockbuster releases, this week was a bit slow, but that won't keep you from catching up on some great gaming. We have plenty of fun in store for you in this week's edition.

'Boom Boom Rocket' on Xbox Live
If you have an Xbox 360 and don't feel like stopping by a store to pick something up, you're in luck. Boom Boom Rocket was released for the Xbox Live Marketplace, which means you can download the game right to your console. This music-rhythm game involves rockets exploding over a 3D cityscape and it will easily keep you entranced for the weekend.

Super Paper Mario
We warned you about this last week, and it turns out that this Nintendo Wii title is everything we hoped it would be. With an adventure that floats you between dimensions, into traps and puzzles, and multiple playable characters (including Peach and Bowser), you're sure to have a Nintendo-quality weekend of gaming.

PS3 for $499
Sony discontinued the less-expensive 20-gigabyte PS3 this week. If you were looking to get in at the lower $499 price point, scamper out now and try to pick one up before they're all gone.

Update Your Wii
Nintendo updated the Wii Internet channel this week. Flip on your Wii for the latest update, including a new Opera web browser that's free until June, so grab it now.
