The pace of life slows down appreciably in the summertime and so does the flow of new video games.
Thankfully, a pair of college-football titles shipping later this month will stir up some excitement among fans of sports and music games. NCAA Football 2010 rushes into stores on Tuesday for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable, while Black College Football Xperience (BCFx): The Doug Williams Edition takes the field on the 360 on July 20.
Your love for video games is limitless, but can you manage to limit its expression to 140 characters or less? If so, you should join the thousands and thousands of gamers who share their passion for gaming on Twitter.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. - The video-game industry's big dance is a lot smaller. For the last decade, I've attended the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, as it is known.
