The PlayStation Recap — The UNCHARTED Scrolls 3: Call of Skyrim Edition

These days, you’ll most often find me hunched on the carpet in front of my PS3 surrounded by maps, game guides, and empty Diet Coke cans as I struggle (mostly in vain) to keep up with this fall’s imposing software lineup. I’ve been punctuating my lengthy Skyrim sessions with Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer matches (nice to see it supports splitscreen MP) and chapters from UNCHARTED 3‘s well-paced narrative. In my 20-year history of game playing, I can’t remember a fall game lineup that tops what we’re seeing on the PS3 right now. Inspiring!

What are you playing this weekend? What’s your all-time favorite fall lineup?

• I’m playing:The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception, Battlefield 3
• I’m watching: The Walking Dead, The Dark Crystal via Netflix PS3 streaming
