Gears of War 3 plunges players into a harrowing tale of hope, survival, and brotherhood that concludes the current story arc for "Gears of War." With the last human city destroyed and the remaining survivors stranded, time is running out for Marcus and his comrades as they fight to save the human race from the jaws of extinction.

Elemental: War of Magic is set in a world filled with magic and ancient lore. As the ruler of your kingdom, you must expand your empire through a combination of magical power, military might, diplomatic skill, technological advancement and bold adventuring.

We managed to do most of the things we set out to do this weekend. I ordered a new graphics card (GeForce 550), saw Fast Five (good, entertaining flick, but be sure to stay until after the credits), and I even got around to putting my new PC together. Unfortunately my old dual core workhorse was more antiquated than i thought, as it still used an IDE HD as a boot disk. The new rig doesn't even accommodate that anymore, so I have to go track down an IDE/SATA connector.

In case you have been hiding in a cave, Prince William's wedding is old news. The new hot topic is the much-overdue termination of Osama bin Laden. Although bin Laden has been on the run for nearly a decade, US Special Forces has been tracking the al Qaeda leader for the past few months. They planned a raid on the compound in Pakistan and put an end to it all with a bullet to the head. Good riddance!

Set two years after the conclusion of the original, The Darkness II breaks the conventional FPS model with its fervid Quad-Wielding gameplay, allowing players to slash, grab, and throw objects and enemies with their Demon Arms while simultaneously firing two weapons.

Sony announced it will shortly begin a phased restoration by region of PlayStation Network and Qriocity services, beginning with gaming, music and video services to be turned on.

Last night, we saw our friend perform stand-up comedy, and while most people in the lineup were quite funny, he did not have a good show at all. He's got the talent, but he's been trying to mix it up and putting an act together to set him apart from the pack, but unfortunately, it's not gelling yet.

Today, we have a full schedule, gfx card research, computer assembly, and watching Fast Five. Let's see how many things we actually get done by the end of the day.

Oh yeah, I'll also play some APB Reloaded and probably install and check out RIFT.

A white-knuckle blend of action and strategy, Orcs Must Die! challenges players to defend fortresses under siege.

Portal 2 introduces players to a host of fresh puzzles and devious new test chambers in never-before-seen areas of Aperture Science Labs. It also reunites them with GLaDOS, the occasionally murderous computer companion from the original Portal.

We're not royalty watchers, but we did stay up all night to watch Prince William get married to Kate Middleton. Monarchs are a dying breed, and royal weddings are few and far between, so why not? They are a cute couple, and the wedding was pretty cool to watch. Now, let's move on ....

This weekend, Fast Five is opening, so unless plans change, we're going to see it on Sunday. Speaking of watching, we checked out Stargate: Universe, Bones and Fringe.

Oh yea, and it's PC assembly time this weekend as well. Fear!

Time for some APB Reloaded (and GamersFirst, fix the damn latency/lag).
