Today, we have some juicy content. There's a fresh
Street Fighter III: Third Strike - Online Edition PSN review, which is notable since we'll be giving away codes for it on Friday. Be sure to
follow WorthPlaying on Twitter to get the scoop.
And you know an
interview with Cliff Bleszinski is always an interesting read, as we grill him on a variety of topics related to the imminent Gears Of War 3 release (look for our review tomorrow).
I'm rather disappointed in the latest box office numbers. Hardly anybody saw
Warrior, and that's a shame. While it may not be a deep social commentary like
The Help, it's very entertaining.
Contagion looks quite interesting as well. Might watch that this weekend as soon as we can scuttle our dinner guests out the door.

After a lengthy, but smooth, flight, we've arrived home safe and sound from our New York trip. The fun is over, and now it's back to work.
A few interesting observations from NYC: It does indeed never sleep. There's always stuff happening left and right, the street vendor food smells SO good, the subway stations are warm and humid, and while there are less stinky bums lying around, the people in general smell more. We ate so much over the past week, we're on a diet for the rest of the month to make up for it.
Haven't been able to play games all week (the laptop is a dual core but has a crappy video card in it), so I'm itching to play some more Dead Island, Deus Ex and APB Reloaded.
