With Assassins Creed out of the way, I can now focus my efforts on Mass Effect. This weekend I`m sure I will also play my fair share of Call of Duty 4 and possibly some Portal. I feel like Uncle Scrooge from Duck Tails when he swims around in all his money. The only thing is it`s not money, it`s video games. I`m also not swimming, I`m just playing them a lot.

I`m positively swamped, trying to finish up reviews for games I`ve had for a while, and juggling some new stuff. Trauma Center New Blood is fantastic so far, a great example of a sequel done right. It`s still hard enough to cause brain aneurisms, though. I also have Cooking Mama 2 to work on. That one is deceptively addictive...I`m almost frightened by how fixated I can get on making a dish just right...I have a feeling it`ll be hard to give that game away to my sister once I`m done with it. As for the rest, I`m finishing up Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Painkiller Overdose and of course, Mario Galaxy.

I got the PC equivalent to the Red Ring of Death, so my laptop`s visiting the farmer in the Dell. Hi-ho-the-dairy-oh, this is the second time I`ve had to ship it to them in the last four months. Otherwise, I`m neck-deep in Geth, soaring through choppy (framerate) seas in the unbearably beautiful Mass Effect Milky Way. I`m also reading Alexandre Dumas`s The Three Musketeers, and noting that I completely missed a Three Musketeers video game -- looking like it might be starring "Viewtiful D`Artagnan" -- back in 2005 for the PC. Sacre bleu!

I picked up Asteroids/Asteroids Deluxe from Xbox Live Arcade and will spend some time on that. Viva Piñata Party Animals is also on my plate to get that review off with a bang. I will try to get in some more time with the Renegade from Ultimate Gamer Chair over at Chuck`s house, which would punch my backstage pass to Chuckfest: a little Rock Band and Guitar Hero III showdown.

Lost my DS on the flight home, so the PSP has been getting more mileage than usual. Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness and Silent Hill Origins have been the major titles. On the console I`ve got Assassin`s Creed going, and despite negative reviews I have been enjoying it. I`ve also got Rock Band and what a shock, my drum pedal magnet is too strong, so I can`t play with my foot rested on the pedal, so much for doing Maps on Expert

I finally manged to pick up Bioshock this last weekend, so I`ll be giving that a spin. I`m also still plugging away at last year`s Titan Quest , and I`ll undoubtedly put a few hours in Sins of a Solar Empire or GalCiv2 to round things out.

This weekend I`ll be checking out the PS3 Time Crisis 4 and trying to play a skirmish mode of Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance without getting my ass kicked (and that`s one easy). I`ll probably be firing up Call of Duty 4 to try out the Ultimate Gamer Chair and at some point I may even get a chance to play Mass Effect, a game this sits next to my TV taunting me on a daily basis.
