It's the return of Saturday Morning Cartoons! Since the releases are trickling out and the companies are not willing to return emails, which I find somewhat unprofessional, I thought I would start doing this bi-weekly or maybe monthly. We will see how it goes. Anyway, bust open the toaster strudel, call up MIkey to share a box of Life, grab a pitcher of Aunt Nellie's and sit your butt down on the couch.

It was a slow week as we slip one week further into the new year. I didn't even get my ADV Films email this week. But still, it's time for Saturday Morning Cartoons! Crack open the Malt O'Meal, mix up that Ovaltine, here's what's hit this week and is coming for the next.

It has been about a month and a half since the release of Rock Band and while Guitar Hero has had several sequels, Rock Band has upped the ante in participatory gaming.  Whether you received Rock Band or Guitar Hero for Christmas, played at a friend's house or saw someone's best effort on YouTube; people are coming together to recreate their favorite rock memories.  At GenerationGamerz.com we may have accomplished a near-first in this paint-by-numbers approach to music appreciation.  The first large-scale Rock Band party.

It was a short week what with the holidays and all and yet some publishers managed to get a load of things out for the new year. So grab up those gift cards and get ready to lay into a stack of anime and manga, it's time for Saturday Morning Cartoons! Crack open the Pop Tarts, mix up that Tang, here's what's hit this week and is coming for the next.

SInce I already covered gaming hardware and software and anime and manga I thought I would have one last guide before I started working on my egg nog coma. Today's listing will be brief and varied as I want to cover a great deal of things before the reindeer come home. 

Since, generally speaking, many people who play games also like anime and manga I thought it appropriate that I include a list of what's hot these days because there is more of this on the shelves than you could even begin to know about if you're not a fan of it all. So prepare to travel through alternate realities, fantastic magical lands to hear some amazing stories and meet some bizarre characters.
