Yesterday was filled with meetings. Microsoft was showing off the new Games for Windows Live marketplace (spiffy) and then we met with Ready At Dawn/SCEA to check out God of War: Ghost of Sparta (even spiffier). Come back early next week if you are interested in the latter; we'll have an in-depth review ready.
