Resistance: Burning Skies: The Kotaku Review 
Harley Quinn's Revenge Is Batman: Arkham City's Bad New Ending Christmas is a magical time. A time for new releases, a time for backlogs. A time for eating your body weight in beef, a time for making Grandma play Dance Central. But weirdly enough, I spent hardly any time during this year’s break playing games. Except for yesterday, when I played Dead Space for nine hours straight. Anyway – the point of this post is: what games did you guys/girls get for Christmas, and what games did you spend your time playing?
Reader Jacob Reiff pointed out that we have yet to ask the most important question of the weekend, so let’s wrap up Saturday with just that. So, what are you playing this weekend? Me? Thanks for asking. Still powering through Bully, and I also downloaded the Iron Man demo, Ikaruga, and Black from Xbox originals (dunno why).
I am also playing the super realistic Apartment Security Deposit Challenge 2K8: Oven Cleaning, and I downloaded the optional Refrigerator De-Scum Map Pack for that one too.
Seriously, let us and let everyone know in the comments what you’re jamming to until we resume our regularly scheduled lives on Monday.
Like Mark, my copy of Rock Band, acquired yesterday at Best Buy, remains mint-in-box, unopened due to a tight schedule involving pie making, surprise hosting duties, and soul-crushing amounts of work. At least the falling tears make for a satisfying moderate rock beat as they splash upon my MacBook. Tomorrow, however, I’ll break the seal on my copy of Rock Band, set it up, play, download some Metallica, break it down, transport it across town and attempt to work off thousands of calories with the Thanksgiving band. I’ll also squeeze in a bit more time with Link’s Crossbow Training, as several platinum medals still elude me, plus time with Medal of Honor Heroes 2.
For those not celebrating our lovely American holiday, feel free to let us know what’s on your plate whenever you have a spare moment.
