DLC week, eh. Well, it just leaves more time for Skyrim and Terraria, then!

Likely going to lose my free time to SWTOR early access.

Started playing Modern Warfare 3 online, oh gawd IT IS UNPLAYABLE!!!

Lag Compensation is terribad, like super super bad. I also join 50 - 100 ms laggy games. =(

Call of Duty 4 was so perfect, even Black Ops was pretty good after a while Why the dumb-mind did they remove Dedicated Servers?

ERRRRRR.....

Oh look, B2K releases tomorrow. I'll be playing that instead in a much more happy state of play. =)

Shapin' up to be a great week for these guys:

i really just wish Duke Nukem was better i'd love to pick up the dlc and really even wanted to pick the game up, i miss the duke and i feel like this is just a slap in the face.

FFXIII-2 this Thursday in Japan, baby!

joe danger on 360? i thought that was a ps3 exclusive

@8bitartist

Yes, it was. Sony, for one reason or another, let them make a better version on the Xbox 360.

(I say sony let them cause didnt Sony fund Joe Danger?)

@Faenix

Kindness of their hearts maybe? "Tis the season" as they say!

Final Fantasy VII and the original Medal of Honor. What you know 'bout classic gaming?

@Dcmac

I'm playing the Fatal Frame trilogy and Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne while Skyrim, Dark Souls, and Skyward Sword sit on my shelf and wait. WTF?! Haha.

Gears of War 3 - RAAM's Shadow and Assassin's Creed Revelations - The Ancestors Character Pack, sounds like a good week of Gears and Assassins Creed Multiplayer.

RAAM's Shadow, because I'm a sucker and bought the Season Pass.

It looks pretty good.

Hmm, Raam's shadow free because my season pass, and so is the Fruit Ninja DLC. :) On another note, poor PSP, Sony not showing any love for it!! D: IT'S CHRISTMAS, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE! >:o

I'm having the HARDEST TIME EVER balancing Skyrim, Zelda, Battlefield 3, and Arkham City.

I think I'm just going to stick with Zelda for a while, because well.. in Skyrim I'm like, in the middle of nowhere with forty thousand missions to complete.

I'll be picking up 'Dr. Lautrec and the Customer who Forgot Professor Layton's Name and Got Fooled by Something Slightly Similar'. Wait, it wasn't actually called that? Hmm...
