I hate to say it, but I'm gamed out. The E3 coverage last week has gotten me less excited by what's coming than burned out by what's coming. So I'm looking forward to just kicking back on the couch and reading exploitative 50's detective novels for the weekend. You know the type: where a hardboiled misogynistic gumshoe pumps round after round of hard lead into the intestines of a commie, lights a cigarette, then makes out with a "broad." Over the years, I've inherited a few hundred such novels from my father, and I feel obliged to consume at least a couple a year to carry on the literary bloodline. My sole gaming will probably be a few rounds of Guitar Hero and possibly some exploration in Resident Evil 4's "Separate Ways" scenario.

Still, I imagine our readers are quite a deal more loyal to our hobby than I am at this current moment in time. So what will you be playing this weekend? New Super Mario Bros. is out and of course that looks great. Otherwise, E3 time tends to be slow for major releases: it's a time for looking forward, which means gamers tend to spend their time looking back when it comes to what disc they plug into their console. So tell us in the comments what you're playing and how you're liking it! - Florian Eckhardt
