Another weekend flew by, so it's back to the grind.
We have a few more interviews lined up for you this week: Black Ops and Fable III to name a few, so if you fancy any of those titles, tune in later.
Played some Puzzle Quest 2, installed RUSE (haven't tried it yet), some StarCraft II (mostly co-op) and I'm trying to finish off Wolfenstein ASAP, so I can delete it and free up some space on my hard drives.
We watched some Entourage, Psych, Justified, and
Hot Tub Time Machine, which, despite the ridiculous-looking trailers, was actually fairly decent.
