The PlayStation Recap

My thumbs have been getting a serious workout lately, with the Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood beta keeping me plenty busy in between rounds of Super Stardust HD’s Endless mode (aka “the only way to fly”), which I’m playing in anticipation of Housemarque’s upcoming spiritual successor Dead Nation. I’m also dying to get my mitts on Fallout: New Vegas next week. Then there’s the Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare DLC coming out on October 26th or thereabouts…

Yeah, my next few weeks are pretty much screwed.

• I’m playing: Dead Space 2 multiplayer beta, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood multiplayer beta, Enslaved, Super Stardust HD.
• I’m watching: Repo Men, The Social Network, Jackass 3D
• I’m reading: The Descent by Jeff Long
