For the geek in me, there are two things and two things only that will be occupying my weekend: The Kobo eReader and Red Dead Redemption. I think the latter will walk away with the majority of my time though.
I’m trying to work through the Kobo reader. I like it, but from my initial impressions, I still prefer the Kindle (although with the Aussie dollar tanking more every day, my opinion could change).
But as anyone who read my hand on with Rockstar’s latest open world game will know, I’m super excited for this game, and have been for months. I’ll probably spend most of my time in single player, but having played the multiplayer for a while, I’ll probably drop in there as well. If you want to join me, my Xbox Live handle is Lethargic Bruff.
So, what gadgety (or gaming) goodness will be occupying everybody else’s weekend?

Friday, May 21, 2010 at 5:12 PMIt’s here! I’m just like you, ready to waste my weekend away in the West. Apart from at night, where I’ll be playing Alan Wake in the dark.
If you get the hankering for a posse, there’s a bunch of us over at Kotaku that’ll probably be roamin’ in packs.
Enjoy it Nick :)

Friday, May 21, 2010 at 6:41 PMyeah, the only reasons not to put it on the PC too are pathetic.
either, they are to inept to take the version from the xbox – that uses almost the exact same SDK as PC – and basically just hit build on the PC.
And/Or
they are jumping on the “lets all bitch about piracy and how its destroyed the PC market” bandwagon, which would again, be BS in there case, because it would still be profitable no matter how small the market was due to HOW EASILY IT COULD BE PORTED!
going by GTA4, I’d say the former is more the case here, as GTA4 was a POS on PC, but I think that might have been Euphoria’s fault more than anything else..
on the other hand, there could be one awesome reason! they are taking there time making an AWESOME PC version from the ground up using dx11 and all the bells and whistles!!! here’s hoping!

I bought Fifa world cup 2010 for my psp to get me through.

Monday, May 24, 2010 at 11:30 AMRed Dead Redemption is the most over rated game of the summer. While most reviews lightly gloss over the area this game has more bugs than a crack riddled prostitute. Not to mention the horses look and act like they are the retarded cousins of their Assassin Creed counterparts.
A poor man’s Grand Theft Auto
