Looking forward to playing two games on the 360 this week: Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which unfortunately was ordered last week for $10 more than it is this week, and Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012, for which the first expansion hits Wednesday.

And I thought the 360′s DRM was frustrating…
We just got a new Wii, because our current one is on its last legs. One of the Wiimotes is already dead and the system itself will often freeze, refuse to read discs, or have any number of other strange issues. I’ve gone so long without calling tech support because I’m kind of dreading having [...]
games and stuff
Picked up “Kard Combat,” which is an badly-themed, badly-named version of Spectromancer. Spectromancer is fun, and this is it for $3, basically. So it’s fun.
Oops, I forgot the title.
This week I… …finished Persona 3. Started playing “The Answer,” the follow-up in the FES version which I have. I also recently got Persona 4, which I will play at some point after finishing “The Answer.” I really like Persona 3. The social game aspect seems like it could be a game on its own if [...]
Clash of Heroes
I was going to get Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes for the DS but decided to wait for the XBLA version. It’s finally out now on XBLA, and it’s fun.
XBLA
I guess PAX East went well (I didn’t attend). I just read about a new game called Bastion coming to XBLA this year which I’m really looking forward to now. The art looks incredible, and the premise sounds interesting.
On, to Weekend
Finished Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood this week. The ending mostly tied things up for Ezio but was a cliffhanger for Desmond, and didn’t provide the answers I was hoping it would. I did enjoy it though and I’m looking forward to AC3, however if they keep dragging it out and never conclude the story (as they’ve [...]
AssBros
(possible spoilers for Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood ahead) Went to bed way too late last night. I was playing Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, and just found the final puzzle thingy left by Subject 16. The reward there was somewhat… cryptic, but it seemed like it might be implying that the Assassins are all dead already and that [...]
Where Fable 3 Goes Wrong
Is it too soon to write about Fable 3? My wife hasn’t finished it, so I’m sure it is for some (Keisha, stop reading this until you finish it; there are some spoilers).
Assassin’s Creed 2
This post contains spoilers.
Trials HD
I downloaded the Trials HD trial (heheh) yesterday. I had seen people talk about it on Twitter but I hadn’t tried it out; I thought it was just some racing game or generic 3D motorcycle game or something. It isn’t.
Modern Warfare 2
Apparently the marketing people at Activision want Modern Warfare 2 to be the best-selling game of all time. That’s not really very interesting, but I had some fun in the comments thread.
Irresponsible Media
Would you people please stop advertising pirated games? I realize the fact that it’s the 360 version is interesting, but how can you fail to realize that publicizing this will send people looking for it?
The Golden Age of Gaming?
Shamus Young posted on Friday about how the Golden Age of Gaming was a few years ago, and on the same day there was an article by Sean Sands at The Escapist about how it is actually right now. So Shamus asked what makes right now so great.
