 Play it like it's a game Tuesday, 18th October 2005 

It’s bloody lucky I managed to finish Serious Sam 2 in time to finish F.E.A.R. because now I have a couple of days up my sleeve to enjoy Black and White 2 before X3: The Reunion lands here.

That gives me until the end of the week to enjoy it and then Quake 4 will take over my gaming for at least the weekend, then I’ll be straight into The Movies. If I plan it well and play efficiently, I’ll manage to squeeze at least a couple of hours of FarCry Instincts in before I play Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. If I get up a couple of hours earlier than usual in the morning I just know I can finish Total Overdose, and if I stay up a couple of hours later than the usual bedtime I’ll be all set to play Civ 4 like it’s meant to be played.

Luckily Logan is here to take care of the RPGs, or I swear I’d have no time for Age of Empires 3.

Well, that’s my week ahead, and I’ve been waiting all year for it. I kinda like how all the games turn up at once and I wish every week was like this week.
