Justice Doesn't Deal With The Innocent

by Rainier on Feb. 22, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m. PST | Filed under MOTD

As expected, it was a quiet day yesterday. It gave us the opportunity to catch up on a few Netflix movies that had been lying around for a few weeks, Grown Ups and Three Kingdoms. We also watched a few episodes of the new cop series The Chicago Code (good stuff), Mr. Sunshine (new comedy series with Friends' Matthew Perry), The Cape, and House.

Later this week, we'll be heading out to a pair of Microsoft events to check out a bunch of new titles and probably some other new announcements, so keep an eye out for that. Our Killzone 3 review is ready, but we wanted to wait until the official launch to try some of the live multiplayer servers and properly round out our coverage.

In the meantime, if you haven't yet, check out Total War: Shogun 2 preview. If that isn't your type of game, maybe you could enter our Mythos Closed Beta Key Giveaway!
