On Deck Update

I'm a big Pittsburgh Penguins fan, and to see them come out completely flat to start the 2010 NHL Playoffs was really disappointing. Disappointing enough to knock NHL 10 down my list of games I'm thinking of picking up next. I'm sure if they redeem themselves with a win Friday night I'll be running out to pick this game up tomorrow, but in the meantime I'm still unsure of where I'll move on to next. It dawned on me last night that Splinter Cell Conviction is out this week. I haven't played a Splinter Cell game since the original title came out for the original Xbox back in 2002, but this series has a big fan base and always has a lot of hype. I downloaded the demo, so we'll see how that goes.

On Deck

I've been slowly working my way through Final Fantasy XIII. I'm finally on the final chapter, and I've started to think about what to play next. I could, and probably should, start working my way through my Pile of Shame, but the reality is that I'm not that eager to play any of those games. Bioshock 2 would be at the top of that list, but I just can't get excited for it, even though I loved the original. Mass Effect 2 is high on my list as I recently finished the first one and have only heard good things about the sequel. Then again, the NHL playoffs start in less than half an hour, so chances are I'll be itching to play some NHL 10.

We'll see how I feel when I finish Final Fantasy, which will most likely be before the weekend.
