Happy Friday!
Two days of Microsoft madness are over! We saw lots of good stuff from a variety of publishers/developers for either PC, X360 or XBLA.
Beyond Good & Evil HD looks nice,
Fable III on PC and in 3-D looks amazing,
Halo: Reach Defiant Map Pack was quite fun,
Homefront had me glued to the screen for almost an hour,
Crysis 2 in 3-D was spectacular, and, of course, you've already read
our Gears Of War 3 coverage.
We've got some interviews coming with Epic's Cliff B. as well as Lester "Cole Train" Speight, so keep an eye out for them in the next few days.
Not sure what the plans are for this weekend, but they include watching "Unknown" and "The Eagle."
