Games
Gamefly
We recently took Gamefly (www.gamefly.com) for a test spin to get caught up on some of this year's key game releases. Just like Netflix, Gamefly delivers discs to your mailbox in a postage paid return envelope, allowing you to keep games as long as needed without worrying about late fees. Play a game, send it back and the next one in your online queue shows up in a few days.Singstar
PS2
Rating: Want to karaoke but don't want to make a fool of yourself? Check out Singstar for your not-as-yet outdated PS2. Hook up some mics via USB and sing along to some of the best-known rock and alternative tracks in recent years or go nostalgic with the '80s disc that features some of your favorite "oldies." Great for private karaoke or for parties. -tired ant

Mojo Magnet
Specnabulous
Peermusic
Rating:Who is this Mojo Magnet and is he spreading Mojo or attracting it? Judging from the songs, the answer might be both. An eclectic mix of musical styles, Mojo covers the gamut in Specnabulous, from reggae-inflected pop to trance to rock and some surprisingly touching ballads. Mojo clearly has a tender side, obviously just adding to his irresistible, well, mojo. The material is well-recorded and executed with incredible musicianship. This is music for any mood. Listeners beware, the magnetic force of this music is unrelenting. Look for him on iTunes.-tired antMovie
Top Gear
BBC America
Rating:We've experienced a huge proliferation of automotive TV programs lately but none approaches the level of Britain's Top Gear in terms of entertainment value and production quality. And you might learn a thing or two about cars while you're at it. Best of all, Top Gear is a perfect expression of the passion that fuels automotive enthusiasts. Check out the episode on BBC America in which Clarkson, Hammond and May drive from Florida to Louisiana and their brilliant plan to connect with the locals in 'Bama. Check BBC America for the program schedule. -tired ant
