Yeah, bring it. Another game for me to obsess over. It’s out in stores now so you know what time it is? Time to watch high-level play on youtube.com in the vain hope that someday I’ll be that good… that is until the next thing to obsess over comes out.

The man himself, Stan Lee, dated the game November 2. The first MMO to arrive on the PS3, I’m interest to see what kind of hype this is going to drum-up for these kind of games.

Capcom 2, it should be a sign it’ll be done right. Personally, my skills are very limited at Third Strike so it’ll be nice to [...]

27/05/2010 - ”Lost Planet 2? The Sequel? Does it Suck?”: Oh yeah, it’s been a while. We know. But we’re back! And we’re all about Red Dead, Alan Wake and more! Chat delays in Australia and the game changer: Steam for MAC! And that isn’t even the most ridiculous of the week! Music by George Wood.
