Wonderful Wikis
Have you heard about this game called StarCraft? Another StarCraft came out this week! I have to say I don't understand why the call it StarCraft when there's no real "crafting" in it. Minecraft has more crafting than StarCraft for goodness sake! Read all about it on the wiki page for that space madness! Also a new God of War game came out and you can read all about that too.
Best of Blogs
Check out the latest edition of the community round table discussion featuring all sorts of community members' opinions about The Binding of Issac. After having discussed the hardware of the PlayStation 4 Gamer_152 has written up a comprehensive blog related to the announced games thus far for the platform. Video_Game_King continued his recent trend of playing water themed video games with Hydrophobia, and bucked that trend by also playing Marchen Adventure Cotton 100%. Mento entertains with his latest MS Paint webcomic for this month. aurahack celebrates his 100th blog by writing about 999, Fire Emblem, Crashmo and other things. believer258 pontificates upon his controversial position of thinking that Uncharted 3 is a mediocre experience, whereas Animasta defends The Last Remnant for being a fun and interesting game worth playing. User nate still is playing through and discussing his problems with Assassin's Creed 3. After having bought the game for cheap zoozilla talks about his adventures with El Shaddai. Finally Alaska_Gamer provides a sane blog related to his thoughts of the craziness of Metal Gear Rising.

Fantastic Forums
If you do plan on going to PAX East this week then join the meet-up thread in picking out a meet up event before the Giant Bomb panel. There is also an Arma 3 Alpha Steam code trading thread, a thread discussing the origins of everyone's usernames, and an appeal by the Guild Wars 2 community to join their cause. Finally the poll of the week is whether or not Patrick should shave his facial hair.
