My name is Kevin Miller and I will be your captain from here on out. Alright, alright, get the mumbling and groaning out of your system while you can. Welcome to your Weekly Recap!

StarCraft 2 is finally here and it is quickly digging its hooks into each and every one of us. I’m not even a big RTS fan and I’m enjoying it. Stupid Blizzard and their games that are nothing more than legal crack. Anyhow, the week has come and gone so be sure to read on for the full recap.

I just can’t help it – I’m totally potty for Potter!  Throw in a handful of Lego bricks and tell me one of my favourite Amiga developers is making it into a game and BAM!  You’ve got my undivided attention, my friends.
