But before you do, don’t miss some of these videogame news tidbits:

DC Universe Online, a world where games have their own MySpace pages
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Before today, I really didn’t know much about Sony Online Entertainment’s MMO, DC Universe Online. But then it sent me a MySpace friend request and … wait, what the hell? Why do games have their own MySpace pages? Is that like when people make pages for their cat?
