Hey this weekend I’m gonna check out the new Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 (XBOX360) I’ve never actually played golf in real life (except for mini putt) but I sure love swinging the club in the virtual world! Also I think it’s awesome that the Weather Channel has jumped on board this year to give “real-time weather” as you play…but with the luxury of being comfy and dry at home even if it’s raining while you play in Florida!
I’m pretty happy that EA Redwood really likes us (or we wouldn’t get ANY EA titles coming our way at all -start raining down some BOO’s for EA Canada here.) They sent me my copy on TIGER WOODS PGA TOUR 10 and a subcription to Golf Digest too! So much more love coming from south of the border!! Where’s the “Homeland” Love!?? C’MON NOW. Not the way to handle a well known “PRO-EA Guy”. And folks wonder why my most prized possesion is my U.S. satellite dish. ESPN over TSN any-day-of-the-week folks!! Enough ranting! (don’t get me started). I’ll hit the diamond with some MLB the Show to go along with my Tiger 10 and catch new Entourage on Sunday!
This weekend will be highlighted with my Saturday viewing of the anticpated 500 Days of Summer which was a favorite at the most recent Sundance film festival. It also stars the much adored Zoey Deschanel whom I plan to marry some day (at least in my head). Other than that, I’m going to pick up For All Mankind on Blu-Ray when it comes to movies. For gaming, I’m going to continue some PSP love with Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, Rock Band Unplugged, and with all this Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker talk, I’ll head back to Metal Gear Portable Ops in anticipation.
