Dead Space!
Didn't finish it, don't suspect I will. Oh, that's not to say that I didn't love it. I just prefer not waking up in a cold fucking sweat at 3 AM with the sudden urge to dismember my office chair. Plus, I got a bit sidetracked by...
Mother 3!
Courtesy of your friends and mine at the brilliant Mother 3 Fan Translation effort, this is just about as beautiful a game as I had hoped it to be.

Tomorrow's Far Cry 2, with Fallout 3 and the beleagured LittleBigPlanet bringing up next week. It's seasons like this one that make me grateful for steady employment.
