After getting last week off, I am back to return to my usual weekend cblog recap duties. Did anyone miss me? Speaking of missing someone, I'm going to miss all of you who are going to PAX next weekend. I had originally planned on going and finally meeting all you crazy awesome people in person, but unfortunately things didn't work out. That's ok though, because someone has to stick around and hold down the fort right? All I ask is that someone please buy and pour out a drink in my honor please. I would greatly appreciate that.

As for what's been going on in my gaming life, not much really. I did manage to beat Shadow Complex last Sunday with 100% of all items collected, but since then all of my systems have laid dormant. That game rocks by the way, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering buying it. I reviewed it for Gamer Limit, so feel free to check out my review if you're interested. I also went to an all day Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare LAN party on Saturday, which totally rocked. My team pretty much destroyed the other team, and I was usually the top guy, so that was awesome.

All you PS3 fanboys will be happy to hear that I finally went and picked up a copy of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. I have always wanted to play it, but I just never got around to it. Now that it's only $30 I had to jump at the chance, especially since Uncharted 2 comes out in a little under 2 months. Hopefully I'll enjoy it as much as everyone else has. If not, I'm blaming Yojimbo. Actually from now on I think I'm just gonna blame Yojimbo for all of my gaming problems. Sorry old man. ;-)

Well enough about me. Let's get on with the weekend recaps shall we .....
