Day three of gamescom went by like a flash of lightening. It really did. Despite a crisis at the house, I got a bit of work done, still, and no one lost a finger.
Shift Highlights

However, new rules have been set in place around the house: no more using hedge trimmers or any other lawn-specific machine without kevlar gloves.

Now if only both would arrive in North America, we’d all be pleased.
This game sounds more and more interesting all the time.
Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Thumbs up on that, ArenaNet.
Finally, we all now know what that game codenamed after a silly Kevin Costner flick is about, and called.
Another stunning video for the Assassin’s Creed crowd.
At first the news was bit disappointing, but it got better.
More content is always a good thing.
Gabe Newell really seems like a nice guy, he really does.
The Dark Knight meets Mr. Freeze. No Arnold, thankfully.
A beta for Diablo III is coming, promise.
Tons of screenshots and a few trailers for Sonic Generations, Renegade Ops, Rise of Nightmares, Virtua Tennis 4, Crush3d, Binary Domain, Shinobi, and Anarchy Reigns.
Sure, Blizzard.
They’re taking the Hobbits to Isengard! Oh, wait, wrong game.
Ubisoft gamescom trailers.
BioShock: Infinite cannot get here soon enough.
Hopefully, this will be sorted soon.
Another shorts post to finish your day.
And here’s the bits Deb covered for us today:

At least it’s not as bad as it was.
Sounds like a very interesting title.
Bond. James Bond. GoldenEye. 007. Shaken. Not stirred. Oh James! Hello Moneypenny…
Far Cry 3 is looking swank.
Sorry. No StarCraft MMO for you.
Fair play to you Eric.
See you tomorrow.
