Welcome to Friday here at MEVIO Tech. Carlos is feeling under the weather today, so Brooks is flying solo to bring you some awesome video game stories.

	1. U.S. Supreme Court Hears Case On Violent Games, Sales To Minors The video game law drafted by California State Senator Leland Yee and signed into law by the Governator will be appealed before the U.S Supreme Court - it will be the first time the Supreme Court has heard a case about restricting minors from buying violent games.

	2. The Queen Of England's Gold-Plated Wii THQ knows that if you're going to deliver a Wii to Buckingham Palace to promote your new game no ordinary console will do, so they had one gold plated. Kotaku
	3. Spore Evolves Into Robot Chicken?!? EA has just revealed that when the Spore expansion pack Spore Galactic Adventures launches on June 23, adventures created by writers of the cult animated series Robot Chicken will be available as free downloadable content. Gay Gamer
	4. Gears Brings Steam to the iPhone... Sorta A new App on the iPhone serves up details from the Steam community to your iPod Touch or phone. Gears includes three pages of information from Steam accounts for $3. Kotaku
	5. Team Fortress 2 Goes Free This Weekend Thanks to the doubly good update for the Spy and Sniper classes, Team Fortress 2 will be playable for free this weekend to Steam users who for some bizarre reason wouldn't already have the game. Kotaku
	6. Make A Rock Band Video, Win An MTV Moonman Pepsi, Rock Band and MTV want to make you a star. Or at least a minor internet celebrity. The triad is launching the Drink Up and Rock Out summer promotion that includes the traditional "check under the cap to see if you've won while you rot your teeth and make yourself fat" type stuff, giving away Xboxes, Rock Band Bundles and DLC.
