Brian is off at Epic playing Gears of War 3 (you can give him all the grief you like for getting that assignment). Xav went to a PlayStation holiday preview event today. And all of us are swimming in review games. Yep, it's the most wonderful time of the year. I need some time to scratch out the words, but I just finished up Enslaved last night and really enjoyed it. Jeff will love following up on this week's Weekend Confirmed because it's definitely in that "more fun than good category."

Plenty of news to get to today, including the real head-scratcher of Panasonic's new handheld; here are the highlights:

And a couple other random things:

    I have to eat raw binary and filter out the useless bits just so I can shit out a single byte that I have to carry home barehanded.

  So glad I opened Steam last night (Oz time) and left it going... it's steady, but not fast.

    I thought you had to at least restart steam once before it downloads an update?
