As expected, it was a quiet day yesterday. It gave us the opportunity to catch up on a few Netflix movies that had been lying around for a few weeks, Grown Ups and Three Kingdoms. We also watched a few episodes of the new cop series The Chicago Code (good stuff), Mr. Sunshine (new comedy series with Friends' Matthew Perry), The Cape, and House.
Later this week, we'll be heading out to a pair of Microsoft events to check out a bunch of new titles and probably some other new announcements, so keep an eye out for that. Our Killzone 3 review is ready, but we wanted to wait until the official launch to try some of the live multiplayer servers and properly round out our coverage.
In the meantime, if you haven't yet, check out
Total War: Shogun 2 preview. If that isn't your type of game, maybe you could enter our

A new listing on the
Australian Classification Board reveals that Konami is working on a game called "Battle: Los Angeles," under development by Saber Interactive (known for TimeShift, currently working on Inversion). Whether this game is tied into the upcoming
Battle: Los Angeles movie is uncertain, especially since the game has not even announced yet, and the movie is due in March. However an indication of "Strong violence" and the fact that Saber Interative is known for shooter/action games leans towards a movie adaptation, albeit maybe a late one.

Wine, spaghetti, meatballs, The Social Network and sleep...
That pretty much summed up last night, and it was all pretty awesome.
This morning was spent watching YouTube clips of Gary Moore, who passed away
earlier this month. Saw some amazing performances like
Parisienne Walkway, an awesome solo on
Empty Rooms, an incredible cover version of
The Thrill Is Gone with BB King, a live performance of
Still Got The Blues (which made me tear up), and
a sizzling tribute to Jimi Hendrix's Red House.
Too bad Gary Moore was way more popular in Europe than in North America. A lot of people are missing out on unbelievable-sounding guitar work, which we'll never get to hear live again.
