So I spent this entire weekend chillin' in my house, thanks to a winter storm that dumped 5 inches of snow on the ground and a bunch of ice on top of that. Just so you know, when North Carolina gets 5 inches of snow, it's enough to shut the entire state down. Luckily my girlfriend and I had lots of food, alcohol, and two dogs who wanted nothing more than to run around outside as much as possible. It made for an absolutely great time.

Unfortunately I didn't make much time for games this weekend. I did manage to beat Dark Void earlier in the week, and I posted my review of it up on Gamer Limit. I mentioned this last week in my recap, but the game absolutely sucked. I gate it a pretty low score. I'm starting to have serious doubts about Capcom's ability to launch new IPs. The last year or so hasn't really looked good for them in that area.

The other game I've been playing this week is Mass Effect 2, and all I really have to say about that is it's freaking incredibly awesome. You don't really need me to tell you that though. With a Metacritic score of 96, pretty much every single gaming website on the internet agrees with me.

In other news, my hotel room is officially booked for E3 in June and my press pass has been approved. All I have to do is book my plane tickets and it will be completely set in stone. I can't believe I'm really going.

Instead of a picture of a dragon instead I'll post come cure pictures of my dogs playing in the snow. I hope you all enjoy. Now let's get on with the recaps shall we!
