It barely started, but our weekend plans have already changed. In the afternoon, we are going to a wine & art festival. I have no idea what that is all about, but there will be wine, so that's all that matters. Afterward, we were going to attend a party with some friends, but it turns out another friend is flying in from Hawaii, so we'll have to be good hosts instead. I'll be passed out by then anyhow  ...

We just watched a few episodes of Hell's Kitchen, while we have DayBreakers and The Blind Side lying around, so we may watch those later.

Vanquish is a futuristic action game. It looks like New York is under attack by a laser beam from space, and you play a mech soldier who's been sent in to pick up the pieces.

Star Wars: The Old Republic will let you explore an age thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader when war between the Old Republic and the Sith Empire divides the galaxy. Choose to play as Jedi, Sith, or a variety of other classic Star Wars roles, defining your personal story and determining your path down the light or dark side of the Force.

Another day, another batch of game trailers was released. Instead of giving them all their own posts, we grouped them, and so far there are trailers for:

• Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 [ALL] - CG Trailer

We will update this throughout the day when new trailers become available. Read more for download links ...
