Here's some impressions on some of the games I've sampled recently.

- CC rented Dead Space 2 from GameFly and I went ahead and tried the multiplayer portion of the game.

To sum it up, 3rd Person Left 4 Dead with a Counter-Strike twist is what it is...and it really isn't all that exciting. It's competent and fun for the time I played, but it's nothing too exciting.

There are some annoyances: First, when you spawn as a Necromorph, there are too many instances where the camera puts your line of vision at a supreme disadvantage. I've had too many times where I'd spawn, and because the way the camera is angled, I'd have no idea where the enemies are until they shoot me a couple of times and I die.

Also, it seems like the game is supremely uneven, where the odds are severely stacked against the humans on most of the maps. The feeling of being on an uphill battle from the very start doesn't make the game that much fun.

I haven't played the single player mode, mainly because I haven't played the first game and I would like CC to try it first before I try, but if you're in it for multiplayer...well, I just hope you're not.

- Next, I played roughly an hour of LittleBigPlanet 2 and I have to say...it's LittleBigPlanet 2. It's kind of hard to gauge if it's worth buying or not because all I have to go on what's great about the game is its single player mode, which may not last too long, or it's online creation system, which takes a few months to get going. All I can really say is if you loved the first, you'll love the second.

Otherwise, wait a little bit before you make a purchase.

- Some 11 for 11 PSN purchses.

Bought Hoard, Swords and Soldiers and TV Show King.

First, haven't played TV Show King, but did watch CC play it and...it seems like a trivia game.

Next, Swords and Soldiers is a game I actually played and beat on WiiWare sometime ago and I have been dying to play it again since CC got me the Move. If you want a good Move game, that's the best one you can download at this time.

Lastly, there's Hoard. After 2-3 hours playing this game, I can safely say that this game is a ton of fun with a lot of replayability. However, $15 was way too steep of a price for this game, as fun as it is.

I'll probably rustle some more reviews out of these games, hopefully soon.
