So I spent most of this week playing and beating Dead Space: Extraction for the Wii. If you are a Dead Space fan, or if you are the type of person who likes to complain that there are no mature games on the system, you should really try this out. Please don't get put off by the fact it's an on-rails shooter, because if so you'll be missing a pretty great game. You can read my complete thoughts in my official review I wrote for Gamer Limit.

I've also been playing God of War: Chains of Olympus this week on my PSPgo. That game is pretty freaking awesome, though I wish my left thumb didn't hurt so much after using the damn analog nub on the system. I don't think Sony had comfort in mind when they designed the PSPgo. The controls just straight up feel awkward to be honest with you.

This is a HUGE week in games and I personally have my heart set on Uncharted 2 and Brutal Legend. After have a huge exam to take on Tuesday for my graduate class, but after that I'm going home to play Uncharted 2 all night. Actually, I'm pretty much dedicating my entire week to Drake's new adventure. Anyone want to play through the co-op campaign with me. If you are interested let me know.

That's enough form me for now. Let's get to the recaps.
