T.G.I....F! Contest, Madden, Dragon's Dogma and more!

Good grief, am I glad the weekend's nearly here.  I am going to be pretty busy tomorrow as I head out of town with my wife and youngest for a small trip related to her Girl Scouts troop.  I have a larger-than-normal night of Magic: The Gathering coming up on Monday as well that I need to make sure my top decks are in shape for (I have a very cool new exalted deck I will likely post about here after  Monday when I see how it plays).  Still, I have a lot more than that going on.  I want to remind you that I have a contest still you can enter until tomorrow night for a free iPad game.

So, to kick things off... I got to play the Madden 13 demo last night.

Red Faction: Guerrilla - Xbox 360 Review

Here's another lightweight review of a somewhat older game from this console generation - Red Faction: Guerrilla.  I borrowed this from a friend for a weekend and my son and I both went ahead and played it for several hours each.  My son liked it a bit more than me, but that is generally the case with most shooters.  He is much more interested in whether or not he can blow things up with people online and is generally not worried about story lines.
