Evening Reading

by Brian Leahy, Jun 23, 2010 5:00pm PDT

With E3 settling down, I finally got a chance to finish Red Dead Redemption last night. Loved the ending. Very cool and true to the Western genre. Then I played some League of Legends, because unlike Heroes of Newerth, I can actually get kills in LoL. Both are incredibly fun DotA games, but LoL is a bit more forgiving. Hopefully, one day I'll graduate to HoN.

E3 Previews

Mario Sports Mix E3 Preview.

Time Crisis: Razing Storm E3 Preview.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution E3 Preview.

Shogun 2: Total War E3 Preview.

All the rest

BP sucks at not leaking oil.
