Today should be another glorious day for gamers! Plenty of new games should be in stores, including the hot hot hot Assassin's Creed II, Left 4 Dead 2 and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles (lightgun game! *drool*).
We have a Capcom event to attend this evening to check out one of the new titles, so that should be fun.
If I have some spare time during the day, I'm going to try the
Avatar PC demo. I'm somewhat intrigued by the setting and lore, but at the same time, I'm afraid the overwhelming CGI will bring it all down. I hope I'm wrong because I do want to go see
the movie, as well as
2012,
A Christmas Carol,
Planet 51 and
The Road, to name a few.
