Gaming-wise, it should be a good week with RAGE scheduled to launch in a few days, Dark Souls, Just Dance 3, NBA Jam, NBA 2K12, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, among other titles.

The new season of Dexter (starring Michael C. Hall) starts tonight, as well as the premiere of Homeland (starring Emmy winner Claire Danes and Damian Lewis), so we'll be checking that out later today. I'm really hoping Homeland turns out to be a success. I've been a fan of Damian Lewis since his role as Major Richard D. Winters in the Band of Brothers miniseries.

If you want to have good laugh, check the Tucker and Dale vs. Evil trailer. Not really suited for kids, though, due to the copious amounts of gore and blood.
