It's the same old story. Playing Metroid Prime 2. Multiplayer Resistance. Must squeeze in some Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess if it kills me. I've gotta get these games finished and back on the shelf, as I expect a copy of Ratchet & Clank Size Matters to show up at my door any day now, not to mention some fairly big releases hitting throughout the week like Virtua Fighter 5 and flOw for the PLAYSTATION 3. Plus I've got that trip to EA.

The currently ongoing AOU show in Japan has me excited for some upcoming arcade action. I might have to revisit some Gradius on the PSP then pick up those Parodius and Twin Bee import collections.

That reminds me. Any CPAs out there? I need to know if I can write off these shmup purchases as work expenses.

Enough about me. What's on deck in your console or PC for gaming this weekend? Michael McWhertor
