Gotta get to work. Gotta prep an exclusive trailer that's pretty cool (not a debut trailer, mind you) for later today. Got to finish a certain game. Gotta go! Can't do three things at once, maybe not even two. End diary.

Yesterday was just abou a zero game day. I did beat "Watchmen: The End is Nigh" before I went in for work, but I couldn't write about it. It's embargoed until noon, which is when I'll have my review up. I saw someone else play "Batman: Arkham Asylum" but didn't play it myself. Impressions of that coming to the blog shortly.

I love the PS3 game "Flower," but there's one reason not to be too publicly enthusiastic about it. Read more...

I'm sorry to write in today's Diary that "Puzzle Quest" has a most unexpected flaw: loading times. Read more...
