Evening Reading

by Brian Leahy, Nov 22, 2010 5:00pm PST

It's a holiday week here in the United States as we get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving with copious amounts of eating, football watching, and gaming. It will be interesting to see if Rock Band 3 or Kinect wins out with the group coming over to my place to the feast. I'm guessing Kinect will start up first so people that haven't seen it can check it out, but then we'll transition to Rock Band as per usual.

Meanwhile, I'm off to record this Friday's podcast early and will be out Wednesday through Friday. Be nice to those left on duty. Oh, and due to some technical difficulties, Xav's comparison of 2D vs. 3D in CoD: Black Ops multiplayer will hit tomorrow.
