Damn, that weekend flew by in a split second.
Our shindig on Saturday was a success, even though I wasn't too thrilled about our cooking outcome. Cooking for a large group is always tricky, as we don't really have the equipment to make big batches. It's always trick to keep multiple small portions warm, but our friends were satisfied, and in the end, that's what mattered.
No movies this weekend, but managed to catch up on Sons of Anarchy (damn Jax, grow that hair back! You almost look like Justin Bieber) and a few episodes of Burn Notice. This week, many TV shows are returning this week, so it won't be too long before we have to contend with a 90%-filled DVR again ...

We have a busy weekend ahead of us, entertaining some friends for dinner as a return favor for their BBQ a couple of weeks ago. We'll be slaving away in the kitchen quite a bit.
Still haven't decided whether we're gonna watch
Contagion,
The Debt, or catching up on
Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
Gaming-wise, played some Space Marine, liked it, and a little bit of Gears of War 3. Things have heated up a little bit in Stronghold Kingdoms as we've declared war on the second biggest house, so we're digging in!
Don't forget to keep an eye out later today for our
Street Fighter III: Third Strike - Online Edition (PSN/XBLA) code giveaway on the

Today, we have some juicy content. There's a fresh
Street Fighter III: Third Strike - Online Edition PSN review, which is notable since we'll be giving away codes for it on Friday. Be sure to
follow WorthPlaying on Twitter to get the scoop.
And you know an
interview with Cliff Bleszinski is always an interesting read, as we grill him on a variety of topics related to the imminent Gears Of War 3 release (look for our review tomorrow).
I'm rather disappointed in the latest box office numbers. Hardly anybody saw
Warrior, and that's a shame. While it may not be a deep social commentary like
The Help, it's very entertaining.
Contagion looks quite interesting as well. Might watch that this weekend as soon as we can scuttle our dinner guests out the door.
