You'd think that playing brand spankin' new Capcom games for hours yesterday, amid a sea of heavy hors d'oeuvres and free drinks, that I'd somehow tire from the videogame exposure. Wrong! Not only did this editor get the 10:30 PM flight back to Los Angeles in the nick of time, but he braved the slow-as-molasses PlayStation Network download speeds to get his hands on Mortal Kombat II. Then I played until 2 AM.

I'll write more about all that Capcom business later (think 5 PM Pacific Standard Time), but right now I'm gonna talk about games. This weekend's games, to be precise. In addition to schooling anonymous chumps with my Liu Kang skills, I'm going to take advantage of my free mornings to play some Super Paper Mario. That is, if I can steal away the Wii-mote from my Godfather obsessed roommate.

Other than that, it's party time. I hope everyone has a good weekend and that when they're not seeing Grindhouse at the theatre (ahem!), they're getting their game on. Now let's make with the game lists people! Michael McWhertor
