After making some rounds in Orange County, I’ll be back in Los Angeles this weekend. My brother will be in town too and we’ll be playing some games together. He’s an old-school gamer and plays some PlayStation 3 games, but he’s not really a “hardcore” gamer anymore (whatever that means these days). I figure we’ll tackle some mindless old-schol beat-’em-ups like X-Men Arcade and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
How about you? What’s on your Christmas weekend playlist?

Sony Computer Entertainment America has produced a nifty list of current PlayStation 3 games that take advantage of stereoscopic 3D televisions and future titles that will use the tech. It’s an impressive group of titles, but are any of these games enough to make you pull the trigger on a 3D TV? Give the list a peek and let me know (please)!

Last week I wrote about the exciting Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection for Sony PlayStation Portable. Square Enix recently released a trailer for this compilation and it has hit the interwebz! It’s in Japanese, but you can still feel the awesomey awesomeness of this compilation of one of the best Final Fantasy games ever.
Give it a look and let me know what you think (please)!

Any of you digging any of these games with Move?
Electronic Arts has announced that the “Epic Edition” of Bulletstorm will include early access to the highly anticipated beta for Gears of War 3. Here’s a clip from the official press release:
Epic Games and EA are blowing out the launch of Bulletstorm with access to the public beta for Gears of War 3, the spectacular conclusion to one of the most memorable and celebrated sagas in video games. Players that purchase the Epic Edition are guaranteed early access to the Gears of War 3 beta. Pre-order now to reserve a copy of the Epic Edition which will be available on Feb. 22, 2011 for MSRP $59.99, only for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, while supplies last.
Well, I guess the Xbox 360 version of Bulletstorm will trounce the PlayStation 3 version. Ha! Seriously though, will any of you buy the Epic Edition to get Gears 3 beta privileges? Pretty tempting, hey? (Also, pre-order from Amazon using the link above!)
After having lunch with my friend (ex-EGM) Shane, I’ve been inspired to finish Final Fantasy XIII this weekend. Last time I played, I was pretty close to the end, but I’m probably going to jump back a few chapters so that I’m not completely lost in the story. All this L’Cie/fal’Cie stuff can get confusing. To prepare for my play sessions, I’m blasting Reona Rewis all day.
How about you? What’s on your weekend playlist?
