Whoa, four day weekend!? What am I supposed to do with myself!? Games are always a good time filler and there's a couple games that stood out more than others during this Memorial Day weekend.

First off I started Mass Effect 2 since I beat Dragon Age: Origins last weekend and I must say, just as I thought, I'm hooked. Bioware is one of those companies that if you are an RPG lover as much as I am then you will come to love Bioware games. Mass Effect 2 has an even greater storyline from the first and the combat is much more improved and welcoming. I sat at my PC slowly seeing my hours played rise every time I went to save, it was excellent. The Collectors make for such a great enemy, I'm probably playing it again as you are reading.

Mass Effect 2 wasn't the only game I started up over the weekend though. I finally took my first leap into the Bioshock series playing the first one and boy am I impressed. There were many games I was playing at the time of the initial release and I slowly forgot about it but now I'm glad I'm going back to marvel at this masterpiece of a game. Maybe when I beat the first one the second one will be at a reduced price. Fingers crossed. I love how seamless using plasmids is then switching to gunplay combat, it's great and the combos you can pull off are very rewarding. It's been awhile since I've played a creepy game like Bioshock but I'm happy to finally be playing it.

Finally to celebrate Memorial Day Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 had a double XP bonus going on for it's multiplayer which was too good to pass up. I've always played Team Deathmatch or Hardcore TDM on average but this weekend I discovered the Ground War playlist that has hooked my attention span. Big team Team Deathmatch and Domination games make for some real exciting games and a lot of points. My friends and I jumped into the fray and has some good matches and others...not so good...but that's how Call of Duty works sometimes.

Overall, very good weekend for games.
