A couple of big hits this week: demo for the PS3 release of the critically acclaimed (on 360 and PC) BioShock, as well as for Eternal Sonata, both of which I've had my eye on. Anybody had time to check them out? I'll be out of town this weekend so won't be able to sit down with them until next week sometime.

Rock Band fans got a treat (depending on musical tastes) this week, with the release of the Chili Peppers' legendary Blood Sugar Sex Magik album. Considered by many the pinnacle achievement by a band that helped define alternative rock in North America in the late-80s-early-90s, I'm sure many people are excited. This, on the heels of the recent release of Moving Pictures, another rock subgenre-defining offering, from the mega-talented Rush, sets a pretty stage for the PS3 release of Rock Band 2 on Oct. 19.
