I've been struggling with my longtime RSS feed reader. For some reason, it has stopped working and only intermittently gives me updates. It also deleted a bunch of links I had stored up, and it just crapped out on me in general.
Tomorrow is our weekly Free Code Friday, and this time around, we are handing out From Dust PSN codes. If you haven't checked it out yet, be sure to keep an eye on
our Twitter feed.
I also wanted to address our
Space Marine PS3 review. Having played it through on PC and even jumping into some online games, it baffles me that THQ is not fixing the PS3 version. Its multiplayer has been broken since launch, and we've waited over two weeks to see if there would be a patch to rectify the issue, but alas, it did not arrive by review time. That's why it received such a low score in comparison to the
Xbox 360 version.

Finished up Warhammer 10k: Space Marine today, and I thought it was quite enjoyable. Even hopped into some multiplayer matches but got my ass handed to me right away, so looks like I'll have some ranking up to do to unlock some better gear.
Now I can get back to Deus Ex, with more unlocks! I may even get to some Gears of War 3 this weekend — oh wait, it's not on PC! *sarcasm*
We wrapped up the latest season of Hell's Kitchen, and once again our pick did not win. Both finalists were worthy, but we leaned toward the runner-up. At least it wasn't that crying whiny ass b*tch, Elise.
