"Star Wars: The Force Unleashed has hit the stands with a purple lightsaber drawn and humming and the dark side flowing through it."
What the hell does that mean? Why does the What They Play review start with a homo-erotic phallus metaphor.  That's just wrong!

Totally wanted to blow of work today but I can't due to my inexplicable addiction to Cabella's hunting games. So far Fry Cry 2 has me hooked, the environment and aura of desperation is an amazing backdrop for pretty solid gameplay.  At EB last night when I picked up my pre-order copy the new kid recognized my weak soul for what it is and tried to sell me my next hit, a Little Big Planet strategy guide.  Mind you I don't own Little Big Planet since I don't play or own a PS3, but I give the little crack-dealer in training props for tenacity.

I just have to piss away 8 hours till I can run around Albion in Master Chief armour and shoot impovershed Africans for money.  That'll be fun to explain to my boss why I want to leave early.

"How much for Cabella's Dangerous Hunts?" I ask the EB clerk.

So my $2.99 copy of Crimson Skies wasn't the epiphany my brother and the media promised.  I'm afraid to go find Psychonauts and be similarly disappointed.  Even if I had never played those games in the past, I lived my life with the assumption that they are awesome.  The other assumption is that Duke Nukem Forever will be close to beta when my children enter the cold embrace of death.
