Today should be another crazy shipping day, with plenty of new games arriving in stores. I think I'm going to have to take a little break from CrimeCraft to check out some Dragon Age and Borderlands.
We watched The Amazing Race and last week's episode of Heroes since our DVR had a hiccup, and both episodes were good. Last week, I started watching Drag Me To Hell, and while a lot of people claim it's one of
Sam Raimi's best movies yet, I have yet to be convinced of that. Granted, I'm only 15 mins into the movie, but so far, I'm quite unimpressed.
Later this week, we have a few more press trips to go on, so stay tuned as we'll be bringing back coverage, screens, trailers and interviews to keep you guys informed.
