Meanwhile… we’ve actually been playing games. Each week we recap our recent gaming experiences and tell you what we’re looking forward to, so you can use your time more wisely than we have. I am surrounded by cowboys (and one lost spaceman) this week, I dunno what Rockstar puts in their Kool-Aid, but it is doing strange stuff to the locals. JDevL How’s this for a trio?
