We watched the season finale of Hell's Kitchen, and I must admit that the winner was not our favorite. Dave, "The One-Armed Bandit," sure toughed his way through the season, but Kevin had a higher standard, and while his final service wasn't as smooth as his competitor's, his menu was way more sophisticated and the presentation was excellent. However, since the grand prize is a spot at a bar & grill, the location probably favors the meat dishes more so than Kevin's seafood-focused choices. You donkey!
We have a few more previews & interviews coming up for you this week. We went hands on with our Dark Void build, MX vs. ATV Reflex, and a few upcoming Ubisoft titles.
Taking a break from CrimeCraft, Red Faction and Operation Flashpoint, we decided to change the pace and check out Zuma's Revenge. It's as addictive as ever, and while the game does not differ much from the original, there are new modes, new extras and more ball-busting fun.
