Aside from being one half of the award-winning production duo Tha Bizness (along with Henny), Dow Jones is also a full-fledged gadget head. When he’s not working on tracks for Trey Songz (“Alone”), Lil Wayne & Drake (“Every Girl”) or Young Jeezy (“My President”) or shooting photographs Dow is on the lookout for the next big thing in technology.

The Gaming World According to C-Rose
It’s been a while since I last spoke. A lot has changed in the world. The Lakers won – We lost MJ and then there was E3. It’s interesting that these events all had one thing in common – downtown LA. Between the Staples Center and the LA Convention Center LA has been the center of the world for the last month or so….
There’s a lot that happened at E3 but I’m sure most of you have read about it by now, everything from Project NATAL by Xbox to the new lineup of titles for PS3 and innovative titles like DJ Hero and the must have-Modern Warfare 2.
But, if you’re looking for something to play RIGHT NOW you need to get with Fight Night, Round 4. This game is simple goodness. I recommend giving Tyson a try.
Also, another highly anticipated title is Left 4 Dead 2 by Valve. There’s been some controversy in the blogosphere about this being a weak expansion of the original L4D but I disagree, the game is simple and plain fun, gather up and kill some zombies (and make sure you stay together)-that’s it. There’s nothing much to really innovate on that concept – just to enjoy.
BTW, I want for this to be an interactive conversation so I look forward to your comments and questions about the gaming industry. Is anyone out there looking for the new DirectX 11 cards? Will you upgrade to Windows 7? Do you play Casual Games? If so with your spouse or parents? Let me know.

The Crime: Over hyping the latest Ray Bans
Welcome to the Gaming World.
My name is Corey Rosemond a.k.a. CRose (pronounced C-Rose) – I’m currently the Global Manager for the Games for Windows program at Microsoft and have over 15 years experience in the gaming industry and 30+ years of experience playing everything from Atari to Wii.
My goal is to drop some knowledge on the kuhvet.com readers. This about more than just the latest game coming out or best headset to play games on (which would be the Plantronics 777 Gamecom IMHO).
What I want to do is give some tips to those of you who actually want to make money in this industry some insight on what folks are looking for and how you get prepared.
The Gaming industry is a 10+ billion dollar industry with more revenue made in the US than the box office movie industry. Given all this wealth getting created I still see people running around playing their video games for fun yet futily trying to get a record deal and not thinking about actually making a game themselves. True, to make a game requires some programming, mathematics and artistic skills but the benefits can be very lucrative.
There’s multiple levels to game development from PCs to consoles to mobile phones: each with their own challenges and benefits. With all that being said I want to share my knowledge and experiences with you and hope to make this an interactive dialogue on gaming overall.

The Wrestling Pimp Hand just Ain’t that Strong!!! (Part 1)
When A.K. and I were in Houston enjoying WrestleMania 25 weekend, covering the Superstar Challenge with the THQ crew, he had a very interesting observation that stuck with me. The Pro Wrestler’s pimp hand is not that strong!
So our resident game writer has come up with the first five inductees into this shameless brotherhood. After the jump »
