Should be a few more weeks before it's $10 on steam. ;)

Also I beat Portal 2 last night. Game of the Year.
The way they are organizing the pre-order content for "Arkham City" is absurd.
I will not be pre-ordering this game, because this stuff pisses me off.
I like the one where I can buy it for $30. Where do I find that one?
I got a 3DS today. In case you didn't know they drop the price to $169.99 starting the 12th. Anyone who already owned one and paid $249.99 is part of the "ambassador" program and gets twenty free NES and GBA games. All you have to do is register your system before the 12th. Walmart started selling them for $169.99 a few days early the other day. So I got the system for $169 and get the 20 free games.
I already watched an episode of Better Off Ted on it and put all my cats faces on Face Raiders and shot them with tennis balls. My wife got a kick out of that.
Freddy DLC in Mortal Kombat is ... okay. I like him better than Rain, anyway.
How's it with Thanos?
Bwhahahaha

That's already been proven fake.
Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 crashed on me, same spot, three times in a row. Not a coincidence. Too bad, I was already halfway. Not sure how to solve it.
So The Ballad of Gay Tony then. Had fun with Lost and the Damned.
I've been quite the busy gamer. In the last few days I finished up all the road challenges for Rock Band 3. I played through Super Mario Land and Kirby's Dream Land on the virtual console on the 3DS and then I played about an hour of Splatterhouse on the 360 and turned it off because it was boring as shit.
Limbo is available on PC and PS3 now. What a clever, creepy, cruel and wonderful little game.
Picked up Mass Effect 2 for PS3 for $25 last night, but I had started playing Arkham Asylum again on hard, so not sure when I'll start playing ME2.
Last week I picked up some used games on the cheap. One of them was Saints Row 2, which I had heard was a pretty fun GTA rip-off. I fired it up for the first time last night.
Played that sucker for hours! Good lord, is it fun. I hesitate to say it, but I think I enjoy it more than GTAIV. The vehicles don't handle like boats on wheels, the controls are generally less sluggish. You have incredible character customization options to rival the likes of Mass Effect 2 or Dragon Age 2. You get access to a bunch of kickass weapons immediately. (I adore the tazer.) You can go pretty much anywhere you want on the map immediately, and there is SO MANY missions and side-missions it can be a little overwhelming.
In one side-mission, you don a fire suit and drive around in a little four-wheeler, going from checkpoint to checkpoint. Any vehicles you bump into explode and add to your timer. In another side-mission, you hurl yourself in front of traffic, the better you hurt yourself, the better your score.
Definitely the best $18 I've spent on a game in a long, long time.
Zero Punctuation sums up my feelings about Saints Row 2 pretty nicely.
And in case you've never seen a Zero Punctuation video, extremely NSFW!

I wanted to trade in some games before they lost all their value, but none really excite me.
Assassins Creed 2?
Portal 2?
Left For Dead 2?
Crysis 2?
Halo: Reach?
Too many damn sequels.

This is from The Witness, Jonathan Blow's follow up to Braid. Hugely ambitious from what I've read. Non-lineair, open gameworld philosophical musings, autobiographic to a point.
saints row 2 is one of my favorite games of this generation
