Somehow I lucked up this month and pulled two AAA-releases for review instead of the usual cut-rate Wii crap I'm usually left with- Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds and Killzone 3. And Bill Abner tries his hand at reviewing a tabletop game over at Nohighscores.com.
Both are really good. KZ3's story is pretty terrible and it lacks identity, but the multiplayer is shit hot. The jetpacks are WAY better than the ones in Halo: Reach. MvC3...well, last night I beat Galactus to death with Amaterasu, the wolf from Okami. It's frequently amazing, even if they left out about 50 characters it should have. Hello? Nick Fury? Daredevil? Fucking GUILE? And who the hell let She-Hulk in? I hate her more than ever, particular when she says "howzabout a nice hug, howyadoin'" But then you can also be Taskmaster and stab her in the face, so it evens out.

Also, Bill Abner has written a tabletop game review, proving that he's not a poser. He's reviewed Innovation, and favorably at that. I've got a couple of fresh pieces up there as well, including a review of Desktop Dungeons.
